Being raised in a small suburb that most people haven’t heard of never stopped Ultralight from pushing the musical envelope. To the criticism and dismay of his peers, his passion veered from gaming to trying his hand in Hip-Hop. An impressive fourth place placement in a Funk Flex Indie Artist Leaderboard for musicians with potential, and a pandemic following afterward catapulted what was this fun hobby into a serious passion. 

Riding the late 2010s wave of mixtapes and remixes of popular songs, heavily influenced at the time by the likes of artists such as Logic, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, and Wiz Khalifa, his surprisingly advanced vocal delivery coupled with promising lyrical potential was enough to garner at least some underground momentum in 2019 and 2020. 

What sound comes next would be hard to answer for an artist with the versatility of Ultralight, even with just his catalog over the last couple of years; everything from the lush, dreamy, sensual ‘happy never after’, the trap-style mixtape ‘Before We Hit The Road’ even to the soulful genre-blended ‘heartbreak boulevard’, it’s enough to keep most listeners guessing. 

Regardless, the musical growth is on display for anyone who wants to discover it, and potentially anyone looking for Maryland’s next big Hip-Hop persona.
