June Freedom Lyrics

Transatlantic afro/alt-pop artist, June Freedom, is as uninhibited and genre-bending as his upbringing alludes. Though Boston-born, June spent the majority of his youth living abroad in his family's native country, the storied Cape Verde Islands. He often describes his time on Fogo as an incomparable coming-of-age experience, augmented by raw live music, recreational horseback riding, surfing, and the vigor that comes from living on a volcanic island. So, while rooted in islandness, it came as no surprise that June matured in the USA as a multicultural and multilingual artist, singing in English, Portuguese, Spanish, and Kriolu.

Now based in LA, after several years in New York, June Freedom's commitment to blending American and Afro-Latin music forms has been publicly supported by leading industry veterans, such as Jerry Wonda, Stacy Barthe, and Mally Mall. Multi-platinum singer Akon endorsed June's first single, "Dor d'um Kriolu”, which propelled June to catch the eye of global independent distributor, EMPIRE.

June's unique fusion of worldly sonics is what led to the chart-topping success of his first full-length album, Anchor Baby.

Globally, June Freedom has garnered over 1.5 million monthly Spotify listeners and nearly 55 million streams across all platforms, a feat that currently marks him as the #1 most listened to Cape Verdean artist of 2023, surpassing legends such as Cesária Évora and Nelson Freitas.
