Denzel Himself is an interdisciplinary artist from outer London who works as a rapper, producer and director. His music sits at the intersection of hip hop, gothica and hardcore, and he is known for a dark, distinctive approach that sets him apart from more conventional rap styles.

Creative approach

He self-produces all of his releases and directs the visuals that accompany them, maintaining control over both sound and presentation. He is also a former film school student, and his work reflects an emphasis on self-made artistic direction. His creative identity is shaped in part by synaesthesia and by an undiagnosed psychological disposition that influences how he experiences life and art.

Style and identity

Denzel Himself develops a highly individual aesthetic under his own name, which reflects the breadth of his work across music and visual art. His output is described as gothic and hardcore in tone, with an emphasis on originality and meticulous construction.
