Bio

Reaper is more than a name—it’s a signal. Born in the underground corners of SoundCloud, Reaper started gaining attention with the 2017 self-titled Reaper EP and the 2018 follow-up Heady. Mixing distorted trap, industrial noise, and radiant indy-pop, Reaper doesn’t fit neatly into any genre. Instead, the sound is raw, emotional, and often intentionally lo-fi—built more on feeling than polish.

With distorted drums, ghostly melodies, and vocals that swing between pain and power, Reaper’s music spread quietly but impactfully. There was no big press push or viral hit— just word of mouth from listeners who connected deeply with the sound. Heady became especially important, traded and archived like a lost relic. Some versions even disappeared and resurfaced on obscure file-sharing sites, adding to the mystery.

In the years since, Reaper’s influence has echoed through niche playlists, DIY archives, and message boards. For the listeners who get it, Reaper isn’t just another artist. It’s a feeling—distorted, intimate, and impossible to fake. After years of silence Reaper started dropping new music and videos this summer: “Up” followed by “Liberation” while also honoring fan requests for Heady vinyl which recently dropped in limited release. Fans who bought the vinyl got a sneak peak to a previously unreleased EP called Shark and out of respect for their requests, Reaper dropped “Hydra” followed by “Shark”, the first and last songs of this EP with the rest coming on October 10.
