Gus Leifeld is part of an emerging generation of songwriters who are unafraid of intermixing vulnerable self-reflection with a playful, DYI approach to music. Despite being only 18 years of age, Gus’s lyrics are as sharp and amusing as they are relatable, bringing in a distinctive energy and personality to the musical landscape of today. This Minnesota native began to write and produce music after school and continues to build on this with live performances and a steady stream of fresh, shoegaze-like tracks.
