The British singer first started out in the music industry in early 2010s but had to take some time off due to personal reasons and a life-threatening illness. Eventually, Fender released his debut EP in 2018 and titled it “Dead Boys”. He then released his debut album in 2019, “Hypersonic Missiles” which peaked at number one on UK charts. In 2021, Fender’s second album “Seventeen Going Under” was released and peaked at number one on UK charts.
Fender’s song “Seventeen Going Under” peaked at number 3 in the UK. His collaboration with American singer Noah Kahan, titled “Homesick” peaked at number 5 in the UK. Overall, Fender has 10 songs which made it to the UK’s top 75.
After releasing his latest single, “People Watching”, Fender has announced a new album by the same title set to be released in 2025.
