Dominic Harrison, who performs as YUNGBLUD, is an English alternative rock musician from Doncaster.

Yungblud has expressed himself through his music as a "socially conscious artist unafraid of delivering genre-bending protest songs."[3]

His song "I Love You, Will You Marry Me" describes the true story of a man named Jason who proposed to a woman named Clare Middleton through graffiti on Park Hill that ended up being heavily commercialized and profited by apartment owners, but the woman died, and the man is homeless.[4]

His grandfather performed with T. Rex in the 1970s.[5] Yungblud dropped out of school aged 16, beginning his music career in London.[6] His singles began attracting popularity in 2017,[7] when his style was described as "the spitfire suburban poetry of younger Arctic Monkeys and Jamie T, fused with a healthy touch of ska and hip-hop spirit".[8] Yungblud collaborated with Charlotte Lawrence for the song "Falling Skies", which is featured on the season two soundtrack of 13 Reasons Why.[9] His debut album was released on July 6, 2018.
