Gus Dapperton: Reimagining the Rock Star | Music Life

After a childhood spent amidst farms in Warwick's famed Black Dirt region, Gus Dapperton took his music career south to Philadelphia. "I'm Just Snacking" followed shortly thereafter, and the young guitarist found himself leading a band, singing-and dancing-into the national spotlight. We watched Gus practice his moves and asked about his future and found a new kind of rock star, one perfectly suited for whatever's next.

He’s going to blow up in the coming years , I really enjoy his music and his persona

[@Jperea760]

He's already blown up! I can't believe he's 20

[@josephlanderos3951]

[@SebastianTinajero]

joseph landeros it’s only a matter of time before he blows up immensely

[@AtilioEscobar]

I was thinking the same thing. There's so many vids and interviews now of him. He deserves it tho.

[@bahstudd9662]

Been following this guy for a bit. Really liked his Yellow and Such EP. And Moodna, Once With Grace is such a gorgeous song. Looking forward to seeing how he pulls off the debut album 👍🏻

[@lilzincrossed6162]

thank god i came across him such a shame he's not performing in my city on his tour and oh my he is hot.

[@tomleo3214]

shoutout Orange County NY & Bellvale Ice Cream son. this dude grew up a few towns over from me. first heard about him when he started collabing with dudes i went to HS with. This dude is mad talented-- he used to put out hip hop beats under the moniker spazzy mcgee. if you like gus and also hip hop you should really check out his old soundcloud., feel like this is a side of him not too many people know about: soundcloud.com/spazzyricemcgee
i see this dude riding the wave that has been started by artists like odd future, king krule, mac demarco etc. wouldnt be surprised if he eventually began producing for other artists.

[@FireFiveStar]

bellvale is the bomb. I went to school with him but didn't hear his music until a few years ago. he's pretty talanted actually, probably the only good thing that came out of warwick

[@alineg.26]

Followed this guy when he had about 7,000 followers.. he now has over 60k. SO PROUD OF HIM

[@gabewaite7984]

[@oldiezz7605]

Rockstar is a term used for people who attain a certain status in the Rock genre. Everybody out here changing meanings a shit like. Rapper don’t wanna be called “Rap Stars” as if that’s a bad thing so they’ll just call themselves rockstars but still make Rap Music. Tf wrong with y’all lmao

[@WWxeroWW.WERWKWWF__WPWWW.-_WWW]

When rappers refer to themselves as rockstars its about the fact that hip hop is the new rock. As in in its the new biggest genre. And thus rappers are the new rockstars. They both do the same shit anyway.
