Curtis

Dublin-based hip hop artist active since 2023, known for blending genre-fluid production with live instrumentation and collaborative, community-rooted projects. Debut album Layer Cake (2023) established a chill, textured sound, since expanded through club-facing remixes, buzzy collaborative EPs, and new sampling style debuted on “Duck Duck Goose” (2026) — the sonic centrepiece for a forthcoming second album, Snakes & Ladders (late 2026).
