Biography

Haasan Barclay is a recording artist, songwriter, and record producer from Boston, MA. Growing up in the early internet age, his music represents the melding of classic pop sensibilities with a fresh, modern intensity. His creative approach to short form video has amassed millions of views across social media, acclaim from music critic Anthony Fantano of The Needle Drop, and led to partnerships with brands like GIPHY, Topo Chico, and Gretsch Guitars. His most recent project, 800 Fantasy Lane explores the vulnerabilities of black masculinity in America while blurring the boundaries between genres to achieve a sound that Jamz Supernova of BBC 1 Xtra described as, "post Frank Ocean funk rock." Haasan's work has been featured in Pitchfork, Complex, NPR, and Okayplayer, as well as through exhibitions at the Institute of Contemporary Art and Boston Center for the Arts.
