Dempsey Bolton bends pop music to his whim, blending elements of alternative, indie, rock and hip hop to deliver a fresh sound. His music thrives on contrast. Sweet melodies crash into punchy, distorted production, vulnerability meets confidence, and feelings get turned all the way up. Also, he likes sunflowers. He’s a complex dude.
His sophomore album "i'm not sad, u are" spent 5 weeks on the NACC Top 200 Chart, won 2x YYC Music awards and did a bunch of other things that would make this biography proud. Coming off a Canadian Music Industry Showcase in Toronto, and landing his music video for “Pieces” in rotation at MTV, Dempsey is looking to continue the momentum with the drop of his next album “IN THE PRESENCE OF GIANTS”, releasing April 10, 2026.
