YUNGBLUD to Release “You Need to Exist” Next Month
YUNGBLUD, known offstage as Dominic Harrison, first picked up a guitar at the age of two and started penning his own songs by ten. Now 26, the artist has become a powerful voice for his generation, using his music to unite and empower today's youth. With two number one albums and a global audience, he has ventured into various creative realms, including producing short films, directing music videos, and collaborating with a wide array of artists. YUNGBLUD’s passionate expression of generational concerns, paired with his ability to engage his audience deeply, has solidified his status as a creative phenomenon.
Boasting millions of monthly listeners, billions of streams, global tours, a Louis Theroux documentary, and his own UK festival “BLUDFEST” announced for August 2024, YUNGBLUD is a force in the creative world. His upcoming book, "You Need To Exist" set to release on August 13, is an illustrated, interactive journal designed to inspire readers to explore their identity and celebrate their uniqueness. This book, written and illustrated by YUNGBLUD, includes exclusive art, unreleased lyrics, prompts, lyrics about examining and fostering mental health from his latest single “Breakdown” and insights into his experiences and artistic process, providing a personal touch as he answers questions alongside the reader.
YUNGBLUD shares: "I have made it my mission to unite as many people as I possibly can. I wanted to make something that would go beyond the traditional idea of a book and bring as many people together as possible. I want this book to help you figure out who you are, even if you might have a pretty good idea already. It will encourage you to confess what you love about yourself, destroy your deepest insecurities, and face your darkest fears. This isn’t a book to sit quietly on your shelf, “You Need To Exist” is made to be scribbled in, painted over, broken, buried, thrown around a room with its pages ripped out before you send it out to the world. I want this book to be a place you find comfort, hope and ideas that you can carry with you every day. A constant reminder and a challenge to create without judgement. I can’t wait to see what you make with it!"
“You Need To Exist” by YUNGBLUD is now available for pre-order.
