Career
After moving to Brooklyn, rum.gold spent his first few months working odd jobs such as 1 Hotel Brooklyn Bridge, writing music, and uploading it to SoundCloud under the name Anon. Encouraged by listeners' responses, he continued writing music and switched to his current name, rum.gold. Through SoundCloud, he met Berlin-based producer James Chatburn, who helped him release his first EP, yaRn, in 2019. In 2020, rum.gold released his second EP, aiMless, which discusses themes of his upbringing. This EP features the song Waiting For, a collaboration with singer-songwriter Jamila Woods. In 2021, he released his first full album, Thicker Than Water. This album discusses family units, both chosen or biological, as well as rum.gold's journey to reconnect with his biological mother. On the 27th of March 2026, he released his second album Is There Anybody Home?. In his new two-part project, Is There Anybody Home?, R&B artist rum.gold explores a single narrative of inherited family trauma and childhood baggage across two different perspectives: adulthood and childhood. He deliberately released the darker, adulthood-focused Part 2 first, while the brighter, childhood-focused Part 1 is set to follow in the spring. These deeply personal themes were sparked by his experience going through a divorce at a young age, which prompted him to reflect on how his early life shaped his adult relationships and emotional reactions, leading him to compare the inheritance of emotional trauma to the physical hoarding of objects. == Discography ==
