New Release

BoyWithUke: More Than a Mask

BoyWithUke, born Charley Yang, has been making waves in the music world since his debut on TikTok in 2020. Known for his ukulele-driven sound and signature LED mask, BoyWithUke quickly caught the attention of millions with his raw and emotionally charged music. His breakout hit, “Toxic,” took the internet by storm, and he soon became a favorite among alternative pop fans. But there’s so much more to this artist than catchy tunes and viral moments.

Breaking the Mold

What sets BoyWithUke apart from many of his peers is his refusal to conform to the industry’s traditional standards. He self-produces his music using GarageBand on an iPad—no fancy studio, no high-end equipment, just pure creativity. While major artists often lean on polished production, BoyWithUke embraced a more DIY ethos, proving that authenticity always finds an audience.

And find an audience he did—Toxic not only went viral but became an anthem for those struggling with toxic relationships and self-worth. The song stayed on Billboard’s Alternative Airplay chart for 31 weeks, reaching No. 1 and showcasing the power of storytelling through music.

The Dream Saga: A Story of Growth

BoyWithUke’s albums follow a deeply personal “Dreams Saga.” Starting with Melatonin Dreams, which delves into depression and suicidal thoughts, to Fever Dreams and Serotonin Dreams, each album represents a journey from darkness to light. While his earlier works were more melancholic, Serotonin Dreams is a sonic and emotional awakening, reflecting growth and healing—a transition fans have closely followed and related to.

Unmasking Himself

BoyWithUke’s mask became as much a part of his identity as his music. But in October 2023, the artist decided to reveal his face, a moment that marked a new chapter in his career. As he explained in a heartfelt social media post, the mask initially gave him confidence, but over time, it began to affect his mental and physical well-being. By unmasking, Charley Yang has shown fans that vulnerability isn’t just in his music—it’s in the man behind it.

What’s Next?

Now gearing up for the release of his 2024 album, Burnout, BoyWithUke has announced that this will be his final project under the BoyWithUke moniker. With 7.7 million TikTok followers and 2.7 billion Spotify streams, his journey may seem like it’s just getting started, but it’s clear that BoyWithUke is ready for evolution. What that next step will look like is still a mystery, but if history has shown us anything, it will undoubtedly be filled with raw emotion, introspective lyrics, and an unyielding connection to his fanbase.

BoyWithUke is not just paving the way for independent artists—he’s creating a whole new lane. With his unique sound, vulnerable songwriting, and bold artistic choices, he has proven that you don’t need a record label, expensive studios, or even a face to make it big in the music world.

So, can you handle what BoyWithUke brings to the table? Based on his track record, the answer is an undeniable “yes.”
