Dubstep artist to appear in San Diego
An artist who built a career one dubstep SoundCloud release at a time is coming to San Diego.
April Harper Grey, who goes by the name underscores, was born in San Francisco and was drawn to composing and filmmaking at an early age. When she was 13, she started releasing dubstep via SoundCloud, eventually bringing other genres into the mix.
During the period from 2018 to 2020, she released three EPs. She began to make a name for herself in 2021, when she released “Fishmonger,” her debut album. She released an EP to accompany the album, and then opened for alternative indie duo 100 gecs on their tour.
She headlined a tour for the first time in 2022, and released her album “Wallsocket” in 2023. The artist says that she drew inspiration from her love of high concept works, like the mysterious websites that promoted the movie “Cloverfield.”
When explaining her goals, underscores says they boil down to getting people to think. At first, she says, she hopes they’ll find her work ridiculous, but the more they listen, the more they will connect with it emotionally:
Underscores will bring her unique vision to the Music Box in San Diego on April 17. Organizers planning concerts like this will often use poster printing to promote them.
