ARTAN

ARTAN is a Singaporean-British rapper from North London carving his own lane in UK music. Known for blending raw emotion with melodic alt-rap energy, he moves effortlessly between introspective, heart-on-sleeve records and bouncy, lo-fi anthems that keep fans locked in from both worlds. Breaking through with his viral “Blackbox” freestyle, ARTAN has since built a cult following through honest storytelling and genre-blurring soundscapes inspired by artists like XXXTentacion and Post Malone. His breakout single “She’s a 10 but…” became a global viral hit, amassing over 70 million streams and landing in the Top 10 Global Viral Tracks of 2023, helping push his total streams past 100 million worldwide. Fresh off the release of his debut album Head Above Water, ARTAN reflects on growth, loneliness, and self-belief — a body of work created for the fans who’ve followed his journey from the start. Balancing vulnerability with confidence, his music continues to offer a voice for those trying to keep their own heads above water.
