Powfu scores big in PH with latest single "death bed (coffee in your head)"

04/05/2020 04:38:42 PM

Canadian breakout music artist Powfu has made it to the Philippine shores in such blazing fashion through his latest single. “death bed (coffee for your head)” featuring UK singer beabadobee. 

At one point, the song was at the top spot of the Spotify Philippines Viral 50 for five consecutive weeks before it dropping to No. 4.  The explosive new track also continues to rack up impressive numbers on Spotify Philippines Top 200 – peaking at No. 5 peak; while also achieving incredible momentum on iTunes Philippines Top 100 Charts –  reaching as high as No. 8. 

With its relatable and timely lyrics, easygoing vibe, and low-key appeal, “death bed” currently enjoys enormous attention on video-sharing platform TikTok with over 3 million videos to date—thanks to countless of challenges, memes, covers, and renditions from various Filipino artists including a “Chinarot” version that gained more than 8 million YouTube views, and a “Tagalog” version by upcoming Filipino rapper Cesar $emento.

Right before reaching the virality status, Powfu started recording in the basement of his parents’ home and started releasing music on Soundcloud while still in high school.  The 21-year-old Canadian artist would steal his dad’s mic (Faber Drive) and ended up purchasing himself a laptop as recording quickly became his favorite hobby. 

After finalizing his image and sound, his numbers started rapidly increasing, gaining millions of streams over multiple platforms. He has collaborated with many young and up-and-coming artists such as Rxseboy, Guardin, and Snow. Powfu's music can vary from chill-lo-fi to hype-punk genres, as he finds inspiration through older punk-rock bands as well as newer hip-hop artists such as G-Eazy and Madeintyo.

Powfu’s “death bed (coffee for your head)” is now out on various streaming and digital platforms worldwide via Sony Music.
