CYRIL is the Aussie-born artist behind two of the world’s hottest records at the moment, “Stumblin’ In” and his remix of Grammy-nominated artist Disturbed‘s “The Sound of Silence.” Born and raised in the countryside of regional Australia and now based in Darwin, CYRIL, the producer, DJ, and multi-instrumentalist on guitar, piano, and drums, experienced a challenging journey from teenager to adult. He dealt with personal issues and turmoil, causing him to abandon his musical aspirations at times. However, one thing remained true: he always kept his laptop and guitar close to him, keeping the dream alive and constantly refining his craft. His biggest moment thus far came in late 2023 with the release of “Stumblin’ In,” which initially exploded on TikTok before dominating the worlds of streaming and radio. It became the #1 most played song on air in countries like Germany, Poland, Australia, New Zealand, and more, as well as covering some of Spotify and Apple‘s biggest playlists. At the time of writing, CYRIL boasts an impressive 250 million+ streams, sits atop the Shazam charts in over 20 different countries, has gone Platinum and Gold in numerous different countries, and has amassed more than 800K+ followers across socials. With a trajectory as clear as it is limitless, expect to hear a lot more from CYRIL in 2024 and beyond.
