Meet Young & Sick: Dive Into the Colorful World of the Artist Behind Our Limited-Edition Artist Collab

The response to our Artist Collab with Young & Sick, the NY-based artist and musician has been explosive, with Switch²™ Young & Sick Vinyl Wrap selling out in minutes and the Dr. Dabber Drop™: Young & Sick Edition shortly after, so we wanted to give you an insider spotlight on the artist behind the collab.

An artist known for his surreal style and bold colorwork, his art feels like a trip in motion. You may have seen his work on Multi-Platinum album covers, fashion collabs, sold-out gallery shows, and iconic music festivals around the world, or seen him on stage at one of those festivals. 

As he describes it, “Back in 2011, I made a poster for a party at a dive bar in New Orleans. The poster read: Young & Sick, Saturn Bar 11PM. Costumes highly encouraged, $5 at the door.” All these years later, Young & Sick is still the name, but it has turned into its own psychedelic universe full of music and art.

Young & Sick in Space 

Now, in an out of this world series of events, Young & Sick’s song “Sleepyhead” was played on the Artemis II on its moon mission to wake up the astronauts on their first day rising aboard the spacecraft. For an artist incredibly inspired by space, who is “forever looking towards the stars,” this moment means the world. “Hearing the news, it felt like an out of body experience. It feels like the highest honor to soundtrack such an incredible adventure and the wildest dream, as a lover of all things intergalactic,” he says.

 Young & Sick Lost at Sea

Recently, Young & Sick released the Lost at Sea EP, a collection of songs that make you feel the summer’s ocean air, as you sway in its warmth. The single “Feed It Love” is a 70s-inspired bass-led track that is heartfelt and controlled as recorded, but massive when live. It’s Y&S Remix, is a galactic and groovy space disco tune. While bops like “Immune to the Rush” and “Happy Hour” are catchy yacht rock tunes that sound as colorful as the art that brings them to life.
