Raised in northwest Montana and classically trained as a pianist, Hyde is reserved, friendly, and unassuming. He seems almost embarrassed to talk about himself or his music. In short, he’s the last person you’d expect to rap.

Put a mic in his hand and that all changes. Aggressive, captivating, and sure of himself, Hyde engages audiences in a way that few others can. Combined with introspective and thoughtful lyrics, he paints a picture of his soul – flaws and all – and invites you to see your own reflected in it.

Hyde’s latest studio album, “Fire From the Heart”, gained heavy traction on Spotify, as he worked with other up-and-coming artists like Dahm, souly had, and PRXJEK to create a compelling freshman project. It doesn’t end there, though, as Hyde has already begun putting together another project entitled “Dedicated” that’s set to include features from former King of the Dot champion Rone and burgeoning UK rapper Sutherland, among others.

Hyde’s most recent track, “Four Hours,” was rated Platinum by AzzNation Music, and he has won RapPad’s online cypher competition on three separate occasions. His new EP “Dedicated” will be released this summer.
