TRENDSETTER IS NOT JUST A SONG TITLE!
An incredibly distinct sound that shines right from the start: unpredictable, intriguing, and leaves you wanting more!
“Trendsetter” by MHY is more than just a debut single. It’s a powerful statement from an independent artist carving out his own space in the industry. Hailing from Lewisham, England, MHY’s journey is one of resilience, creativity, and sheer determination. With a hands-on approach, he’s taken charge of every aspect of his music, producing and writing the track himself, blending homage to his influences with a sound that’s undeniably his own. “Trendsetter” pulses with raw energy, capturing MHY’s spirit and story with every beat.
Drawing on influences from UK rap legend Giggs, MHY channels that same gritty, grounded approach, but with a style that’s anything but derivative. Rather than following established formulas, he embraces experimentation, layering sounds in new ways, manipulating basic grooves, and crafting rhythms that are at once complex and organic. Bells and percussive patterns take center stage here, adding a unique rhythm and movement to the track that defies convention: and, in true pandemic-born resilience, MHY began shaping “Trendsetter” during lockdown before refining it further during a family holiday to Cyprus, a place close to his heart and integral to his creative process.
The song is more than a showcase of musical skills; it’s a testament to MHY’s journey through tough times and the clarity he’s found through music. With lyrics that reflect self-discovery and a willingness to persevere, “Trendsetter” speaks to anyone who’s ever fought to make their voice heard. MHY’s journey through mental health challenges and his drive to find purpose through music make this track deeply personal yet universally relatable. His journey has been one of “trials and errors,” as he puts it, with each experience contributing to the vision he’s now bringing to life.
In a world where following trends often seems like the way to “make it,” MHY steps up to do the opposite: he’s set on creating his own, unapologetically!
