Navigating anxiety and the weight of ambition, the track captures Silent Child’s ability to effortlessly transcends between rock, alternative, and electronic genres whilst providing a sonic escape from the mundane. Listen to ‘Pressure’ here. Rodney aka Silent Child comments on the track, “It’s about going through life with a goal, super motivated and determined only to get hit with the enormous weight of what your goal carries. Everyone around you gives you complete support and sees success, but all the stress, anxiety and doubt causes you to see an imposter. You’re so deep into the journey though that you feel like giving up wouldn’t just be a waste of time for you, but also a waste of time to the people who believed in you. You didn’t make it this far to hear premeditated “I told you so’s” wrapped in bullshit sympathy like “at least you tried” and “you did your best”. There’s too much pressure to know whether you’re gonna turn into a diamond or get crushed and you’re too deep to care. Crossing a bridge that takes everything, but promises everything and more on the other side. All you can do is hope that you make it”. Silent Child has swiftly emerged as a well-respected artist, with hit singles like ‘F*ck You‘ amassing millions of streams across various platforms. Born in Georgia, he used music as a means of self-expression after being diagnosed with ADHD and Asperger’s at a young age. This passion has propelled his career, achieving hundreds of millions of streams within just five years in the industry. Becoming an advocate for awareness, openly discussing his experiences with ADHD and autism, Silent Child firmly believes that transparency about health is crucial, especially for artists. His latest offering, ‘Pressure’ follows previous singles ‘Can’t Get Away’ and ‘Ready’ gathering support from Kerrang! Radio, Forever Loud, Already Heard, DNU & more. Silent Child’s music serves as a bold statement, challenging listeners to break free from the constraints that hold them back. His musical journey began in the early 2010s when he first explored electronic and dubstep music. Over time, his sound evolved as he discovered rock and alternative genres, drawing inspiration from a wide range of influences, including hip-hop, R&B, and country as well as alternative artists such as My Chemical Romance, Pierce the Veil and Sleeping with Sirens. As a multi-instrumentalist, Rodney is deeply involved in every aspect of his music, from writing and recording to producing. Despite the challenges of breaking into Atlanta’s close-knit hip-hop scene, where connections are key, Rodney has carved out his niche with an alternative sound that stands apart from the city’s dominant musical trends. During the global challenges throughout the pandemic, Silent Child released some of his most popular tracks to date, including ‘Super Villain‘ and ‘Me & My Demons‘. These songs, along with support from tastemakers and YouTube channels like Suicide Sheep, have significantly expanded his reach, introducing his music to millions. His releases through major labels such as Monstercat, Spinnin’ Records, Columbia Records, and CloudKid have further solidified his presence in the music scene. He has become a must-watch artist, further propelled by sync placements in TV shows like Riverdale and games like Rocket League. Most recently, he teamed up with Tiësto, Lucas & Steve for the lead song of the highly anticipated urban fantasy ARPG from Hoyoverse, Zenless Zone Zero. Continuing to release with DREAMERS, Besamorph, AViVA, and ohers, Rodney is maturing in his sound as an artist and preparing for some of his largest releases yet. With more new music on the horizon, Silent Child’s latest single ‘Pressure’ is a statement of intent from an artist who refuses to be confined by genre or expectations. ‘PRESSURE’ SINGLE ARTWORK |
