Kid Acne Biography
Kid Acne is a multifaceted visual artist and emcee.
His formative years were spent writing graffiti, self-publishing fanzines and making experimental Hip-Hop – invariably, illustrating and printing the record sleeves by hand. The culmination of these interests informed the development of his own unique aesthetic, which he has translated into innumerable graphics, product designs, installations, animations and silk screen editions.
As an emcee, Kid Acne has released six studio albums alongside various singles, EPs and collaborative projects throughout the years. He has toured across Europe and shared stages from South Yorkshire to North America with a wide range of notible acts, performing his own brand of DIY music at underground venues and major music festivals alike.
A stalwart of the international Street Art movement, Kid Acne has painted large-scale murals across continents and exhibited extensively in museums and galleries from Beijing to Paris over the past two decades. His art explores a variety of themes, including typography, fantasy, mythology and architecture. His work has adorned campaigns for some of the world’s leading brands, while the man himself continues to paint epic slogans on the backstreets of Sheffield.
And he still has acne.
