BoyWithUke is finally awake. With Burnout–Charley Yang’s final album under the mysterious
moniker that took him around the world from his bedroom–BoyWithUke is ready to trade in the
mask and ukulele for a life fully on his own terms.
From the moment his Minute Long Songs on TikTok took off in 2020, BoyWithUke's life has
been moving at the speed of light: Tallying nearly 1.5 billion streams, multiple Platinum records,
and the most viewed Genius Open Mic video to date ("Toxic"). He won the hearts of billions
online, playing sold-out headline shows internationally, and winning the applause of Billboard,
Ones To Watch, and many more.
Charley Yang has been going through many changes in his life while being BoyWithUke, from
getting out of his first long term relationship of 4 years to getting out of a major label deal. “For
the longest time I had made songs to impress this person I was in love with as well as music
executives, and once that was gone… I felt a little bit lost, but in a larger and more positive way,
I felt free with freedom to make mistakes and basically whatever I wanted–I think that’s what
Burnout is,” Yang explains.
Sonically, he's graduated to producing stadium-level songs that still preserve his singular skill to
be vulnerable. Lyrically, he tackles themes of love, fame, and personal trauma that goes deeper
than ever before to show not just who the man behind the mask is but also how he came to be.
Time for all the sidequests, BoyWithUke
