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.
