Kid Nobody

Emanating from the radiant suburban heat and endless sprawl of Los Angeles where they were born and raised, Kid Nobody creates vibe pop that hovers over aimless drives and dark dreamscapes.

Bandmates Michael Wilson and Jesse Carmichael have sustained a long history of creating genre-bending music, most notably joining forces as founding members of Wildcat! Wildcat! (Neon Gold Records, Downtown Records) and scoring the feature film Fallen Stars (Gravitas Ventures). Years after they parted ways, the pair reconnected during a chance encounter in Iceland and quickly realized there was more music to be made.

With a sharpened point of view and a hard drive full of ideas, Kid Nobody hit the ground running in late 2019, releasing a string of singles to be followed by their debut collection of songs, discretion. Leaning heavily into the lush musical landscape of their Southern California home, Kid Nobody crafts ambient yet driven tracks that swell and unspool with dynamic hypnotism, sweeping pageantry, and syrupy bounce.

Wilson’s elusive vocals and sincere arrangements come to life atop the scaffolding of Carmichael’s meticulous beats and sophisticated production. Together they push the boundaries of bedroom pop in their home studios, creating songs that evoke the existential tension of Sigur Rós, late-night swagger of James Blake, and stark complexity of Bon Iver.
