Bio:
There's a quiet magic in the way Cavetown's music feels like it's whispered straight from a rainy afternoon in Cambridge, where Robin Skinner first picked up a ukulele at eight, thanks to his dad's guitar lessons and his mum's flute melodies floating through the house. Growing up in that cozy English corner, with Oxford roots nearby, he turned those family sounds into something raw and tender—bedroom pop that wraps around your doubts like an old blanket, blending indie rock's soft edges with ukulele strums that hit like a sigh. By 16, he was uploading covers to YouTube, building a world from his garage that now pulls in millions, all while owning his transmasc journey with a vulnerability that makes every listen feel like a shared secret.

Hits like "Lemon Boy" or "This Is Home" capture that gentle ache of figuring yourself out, the kind that lingers on loop when the world's too loud, and his collabs with beabadoobee or Chloe Moriondo add these sparks of connection that turn solo tracks into quiet anthems. Fast-forward to now, and he's teasing *Running With Scissors*, his next album dropping January 16, 2026—a bolder dive into family shadows and the messy work of healing, kicked off by singles like "Baby Spoon" (that dreamy nod to unmasking in love) and November's "NPC," where fans are already sharing how it mirrors those numb, looping days on X. With over 6 million monthly Spotify listeners and a tour hitting Australia soon, Cavetown's sound is that steady hand through the fog, reminding you it's brave to let the soft parts show. If you're carrying a little weight today, start with him—he'll make it feel a touch lighter.
