Trailblazing Afro/alt-pop artist, June Freedom, seamlessly weaves together the diverse cultural tapestry of his upbringing, split between Boston and the Cape Verde Islands. His musical journey is deeply rooted in the rich traditions of his family's native land, where he spent his formative years immersed in the vibrant sounds of the Cape Verdean music scene. Living on the volcanic island of Fogo, June found himself enveloped in an environment teeming with raw live music, exhilarating recreational activities like horseback riding and surfing, and the invigorating spirit that comes from living in such a dynamic setting.
While his roots are firmly planted in the island culture of Cape Verde, June's artistic evolution took shape in the multicultural melting pot of the United States. Singing effortlessly in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Kriolu, he embodies the essence of cultural fusion, weaving together a sonic landscape that is uniquely his own. It was this distinctive blend of American and Afro-Latin music forms that not only caught the attention of industry heavyweights, such as Akon and Jerry Wonda, but also catapulted him onto the global stage.
June's groundbreaking debut album, Anchor Baby, ranked #1 on Apple Music’s Top 100 CV chart and garnered widespread critical acclaim, solidifying his status as Cape Verde's leading breakthrough artist of the decade. This monumental achievement was further underscored by his win of two Cabo Verde Music Awards at the nation's prestigious annual ceremony in 2022. The album's success resonated deeply with Cape Verdeans worldwide, who hailed it as an instant classic. On the anniversary of his inaugural album, June released a restructured Anchor Baby (Deluxe), showcasing his penchant for pushing musical boundaries even further. With a growing fanbase, which has exceeded 1.5 million monthly Spotify listeners, and over 186.9 million streams across all platforms, June is reaching new horizons. Standout tracks like "YSL" continue to resonate with audiences worldwide, further diversifying his fanbase across English, Latin, and French-speaking cultures.
Far from resting on his laurels, June's recent signings with EMPIRE's label division and CAA signal the dawn of a new chapter in his international career. His highly anticipated sophomore album, 7 SEAS, has garnered even further editorial acclaim and brand appeal—notable sponsorships includes Clarks Originals, Samsung, SHURE, Puma, Bayab Gin, Pandora, and Monster Energy. This unwavering momentum has been punctuated by his career-first European tour, where his transformative stage presence drew comparisons to legends like Prince. With each stop on the 7 SEAS Tour, June Freedom's star continued to rise, reaffirming his status as a visionary artist poised to leave an indelible mark on the global music landscape.
