At just 20-years old, Aidan Bissett has perfected the art of twisting heartbreak into exhilarating music. Since breaking through with a series of self-produced singles in 2020—and signing to Capitol Records—the Los Angeles-based artist has earned an adoring global fanbase irresistibly drawn to his guitar-driven alt-pop and confessional yet carefree songwriting. 2022 saw Bissett release his EP, ‘I’m Alright If You’re Ok’, featuring standout tracks “Tripping Over Air”, “All That I’m Craving”, and “Twenty Something” and tour with Claire Rosinkranz, Lauv, and The Greeting Committee. In 2023 Bissett released a string of resonant singles culminating in the release of his latest EP ‘Supernova’, featuring “Out Of My League”, “Bloom”, “Sick”, “Ultraviolet”, and “How’s It Gonna End?”. 2023 has also seen Bissett embark on his debut sold-out headline ‘Supernova Tour’ across North America, The UK, and Europe.
