Berwyn (styled BERWYN, full name Berwyn Du Bois[1]) is a Trinidad-born rapper, producer, and songwriter, who is now based in East London.[2]
Early life
Berwyn was born in Trinidad and moved to Romford, east London at the age of nine.[1] His father was a bus driver and his mother a youth worker.[3] According to Berwyn, his father has also worked as a DJ, and his family were "always musical".[4] Berwyn attended the Royal Liberty School, where he was inspired by his music teacher who would take him to a folk club. Berwyn stated that he is still into folk music.[3][1] Due to his uncertain immigration status, Berwyn was unable to go to university despite earning adequate grades and also struggled to find work. This was a factor in pursuing a career in music.[4]
Career
Berwyn previously worked at a Subway franchise in a hospital.[1]
Berwyn appeared on the album Everything is Recorded, produced by Richard Russell.[4]
Berwyn's debut album, Demotape/Vega was released on 25 September 2020, though it was written in two weeks in 2018.[2][4]
In late 2020, Berwyn was placed third in the BBC Sound Of 2021 list.[1]
