Cavetown

About

Cavetown, the moniker of British singer-songwriter Robin Skinner, is a beacon of vulnerability and authenticity in the indie music scene. With a sound that blends lo-fi indie folk, bedroom pop, and subtle electronic textures, Skinner crafts intimate narratives that resonate deeply with a generation navigating identity, mental health, and self-discovery. Drawing inspiration from artists like Elliott Smith and Sufjan Stevens, Cavetown’s music is a delicate balance of melancholic introspection and warm, melodic comfort. Since uploading his first tracks to Bandcamp as a teenager, Skinner has grown from a DIY bedroom artist to a global phenomenon. His breakout single, *"This Is Home,"* became an anthem for LGBTQ+ youth, amassing millions of streams and solidifying his place as a voice for the marginalized. Albums like *Lemon Boy* and *Sleepyhead* further showcased his ability to transform personal struggles into universal truths, earning him a devoted fanbase. Cavetown’s cultural impact extends beyond music; his openness about being transgender and his advocacy for mental health have made him a role model for young fans. Collaborations with artists like mxmtoon and Chloe Moriondo have expanded his reach, while his self-produced approach keeps his work deeply personal. Recently, Skinner has been touring globally and working on new material, continuing to evolve his sound while staying true to his roots.
