History[edit]
Dapperton has received particular attention for his fashion style, consisting at some points of a green bowl cut, noticeable jewelry, eyeliner, brightly colored clothing, and thick-rimmed glasses.

He created the song "Of Lacking Spectacle" for the Netflix series 13 Reasons Why, building the song from a quickly captured voice memo and recording the final version of the tune in a hotel room while on tour.

Combining a strong visual component with dreamily produced songs, sophisticated indie songwriter Gus Dapperton became known for colorful narrative videos and lovestruck songs that channeled '90s influences. Working with mostly analog instruments and playing, arranging, and recording everything himself, the artist released songs online when he was still in his teens but began to break through with the 2017 single "I'm Just Snacking." The song and its viral video caught on, and before long Dapperton was touring and being asked to create a song for the Netflix original series 13 Reasons Why. This exposed him to even more legions of fans, and he quickly followed his 2019 full-length debut, Where Polly People Go to Read, with 2020's Orca. In 2022 he issued the hit single "Meteorite" with Anna of the North.

2016–17: "Moodna, Once With Grace" and Yellow and Such[edit]
Gus Dapperton released his debut single, "Moodna, Once With Grace", in 2016. In 2017, Dapperton released his debut EP, Yellow and Such.

2018: You Think You're A Comic![edit]
In 2018, Dapperton released his second EP, You Think You're A Comic!.

2019: Where Polly People Go to Read[edit]
In 2019, Dapperton released his debut album, Where Polly People Go to Read which included the hit single "World Class Cinema." The album received positive reviews from critics.

December 2019: Supalonely
In December, Dapperton was featured as a guest on New Zealand artist Benee's single "Supalonely." The song's themes of isolation and disconnection coincided with global lockdowns that started early the next year due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and it quickly became a worldwide hit.

2020–present: Orca[edit]
Dapperton's second studio album, Orca, was released on September 18, 2020. He released four singles, "First Aid", "Post Humorous", "Medicine", and "Bluebird", prior to the album's release. This album features only one artist other than Dapperton, Filipino Australian artist Chela on the track "My Say So", during the bridge and background vocals.

On April 7, 2021, Dapperton released a remix version of "Palms" as the album fifth single, featuring American rapper Channel Tres. The remix was included on the deluxe version of the album which was released on June 11, 2021. The deluxe version also includes three new songs: "Sober Up", "Flatline" and "Steady", in which the former was released as the sixth single of Orca era.

2022 saw Dapperton team up with Anna of the North on the single "Meteorite," followed by standalone cut "Wet Cement" later that year.

Personal life[edit]
After finishing high school Dapperton attended Drexel University in Philadelphia, studying music technology and working on his own songs. He soon left school and returned to New York, where he began developing the Gus Dapperton persona. Using analog synths, reverb-heavy vocal crooning, and an overall smoothly produced take on bedroom indie, he began releasing songs online in 2016, gaining some traction with compositions like "Moodna, Once with Grace" and "Ditch."
