← Back | Musician | 2 Music Videos
Gus Dapperton, with his iconic bowl cut and vibrant aesthetic, has left an indelible mark on the music industry. Known for a unique fusion of indie-pop and synth-wave, Dapperton's sound harkens back to the sounds of the 80s and 90s while bringing a distinctly modern edge. His music videos are ears and eyes feast, worth of any cinephile’s attention. Diverse in concept, they are consistently as colorful and vivid as his music, each one offering an experience as eclectic as Dapperton's sound itself.
Take, for example, the video for his breakout hit "I'm Just Snacking", a journey that starts with Gus in a bedroom and leads viewers through a vibrant pastel dreamscape. Or "Prune, You Talk Funny", where Dapperton dances through a high school, displaying a charming degree of joyfully awkward bravado. Yet, it's in "Fill Me Up Anthem" that we see a touch of his darker side, with a suffocating atmosphere that speaks volumes of the inner turmoil expressed in the music. Beyond his own work, Dapperton has had a hand in directing other artists, his distinctive, and some would say mischievous, flair permeating their music videos as well. His impact is undeniable, incorporating a healthy dose of theatre in the realm of music videos, a medium often dismissed for lack of narrative depth.
You'd think a persona as quirky as Dapperton's came out of a massive brainstorming session, but it's all real, all Gus. Despite his fame, he still prefers to record in his bedroom, ensconced in a homemade vocal booth made out of mattresses - a fact that hardly matches the on-screen grandeur of his videos. It's arresting proof that when it comes to art, talent trumps flash every time.
