a kid named rufus is an alternative/indie-pop artist based in New York City. Originally from Malaysia, the Kuala Lumpur-born hustler began their musical journey with the release of "useless" in 2019, at the age of 16. Followed by their EP "graduation" in 2021, and their debut LP "whatever works" in 2023, they've amassed over 5 million streams across all platforms. As a recent alumnus of Nettwerk Music Group, and a graduate from Syracuse University, their work has received Spotify support from playlists like Lorem, Bedroom Pop, All New Indie, Indie Pop, Fresh Finds, New Music Friday (US + Asia), and endorsements from tastemakers such as 88rising Radio, Chill Nation, Indie Nation, NME, Billboard, Lyrical Lemonade, The Luna Collective, Fashionably Early, Sheesh Media, A1234, and more.

Rufus' music draws from a variety of genres and influences, including Alexander 23, Dominic Fike, Bennett Coast, Dayglow, Peter McPoland, Yot Club, brakence, and Tyler, The Creator. Their sound blends hip-hop, pop, and indie-pop writing sensibilities with production techniques from DIY/bedroom-pop movements and alternative/indie-rock progressions, creating a left-of-center yet commercial sonic experience.
