Gideon Black makes evocative, boundary-pushing folk that weaves nostalgia, raw emotion, and atmospheric storytelling. A former jazz drummer and guitarist, he first found success with his band Big Teeth before stepping into his own voice as a solo artist. His upcoming debut album is a deeply personal concept piece exploring the aftermath of serious illness, accompanied by a short film and short story. With influences ranging from Luiz Bonfá to ABBA, his sound drifts between eras and genres, creating music that feels both intimate and cinematic. Gideon brings a timeless elegance to his artistry, whether composing for documentaries, knitting on the train, or leading listeners somewhere calm, introspective, and healed.
