Kidnap is an artist whose music overflows with emotion - rich and powerfully evocative.

Recording in London, Kidnap (real name Matthew Relton) likens his process to that of a sculptor, starting with a block of sound and chopping away until a shape emerges. As such, each song exists ornately carved with a handcrafted subtly.

Still just 33, Relton is already something of an industry veteran. Releasing his first single in 2012 kicked off an eight-year stretch of global touring that came to a grinding halt when the pandemic put the world on pause.

2024 marks a new chapter for Kidnap, with his next body of work on the horizon. Set against the backdrop of a changing world and the arrival of a baby daughter, Relton offers a bittersweet reflection on the passing of time. ‘It’s about looking back on the last 12 years — the touring and the friends and the sleeplessness,” says Relton, “and realising that in order to embrace the life I have now, I need to let it all go.’ The music shimmers with nostalgia. Signature sad melodies dance deftly around commanding synth lines, altogether sounding like an artist with a new found sense of purpose.

Self taught.  Started playing guitar when I was 13. Just power chords and Nirvana songs.  All learned on 1 string, then gradually, I'd add a string and continue making more pretty noise. I fell in love.  Jammed a lot with friends when I was younger and wayyyyy worse. lol. No vocal lesson or for guitar but I'm now looking to do that to just learn more about this craft.  Anyway, my names Bobby, I'm 30, from Philly and love playing for the people who genuinely enjoy it. Thank you all!
