Powfu's Music Journey
In February 2020, Powfu released his hit song "Death Bed (Coffee for Your Head)". This song used a small part, called a "sample," from Beabadoobee's song "Coffee." The song became super popular on the video app TikTok. By June 2021, it had been streamed over 1 billion times on Spotify! It also reached number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
After the song became a huge success, Powfu signed with big music companies. He joined Columbia Records in the US and Robots + Humans in the United Kingdom. "Death Bed" was also part of his album called Poems of the Past, which came out on May 29, 2020.
On December 2, 2022, Powfu released his first full-length album, Surrounded by Hounds and Serpents. This album even included his own version of Taylor Swift's song "Mine".
