Graham Lake

Graham Lake fuses pop melodies with shadowy, fluid contemporary R&B laced in vaporwave textures. He cultivated a streaming audience during the early 2020s through tracks such as the single "Run Em Down."

Stockholm-born and immersed in music from childhood, Lake took up the cello while gravitating toward classical repertoire. In his teenage years he abandoned that path, instead modeling himself on a dance DJ after discovering Martin Garrix through online videos. The rap collective ODZ invited him to a songwriting camp, where the session introduced him to Linus Eklow of Galantis. Eklow collaborated with Lake, resulting in the release of the young artist’s debut single, "FOCUS," in 2021.

The 2022 track "Run Em Down" spread widely across international platforms. Additional singles issued that same year—"Out of Love," "Up N Down," and "Champion"—often appeared in alternate versions. Following "C’est La Vie," Lake issued the mini-LP Elizabeth in 2023 and then the single "This Ain’t Love."
