Kid Hudson
As a new artist, Kid Hudson already boasts an impressive musical career that includes national and international radio broadcasts, national television appearances, hundreds of live performances, significant social media attention and a strong and loyal fan base. His affinity with music began early, performing live with his older brothers on stage where he demonstrated an uncanny ability to hold a drum beat at the tender age of two. As Kid continued his passion for music, he experimented with a variety of genres including glam-metal, while playing guitar with the band Renegade and back to being a stand-up drummer for the punk rock outfit Runaway Boys, with his brothers Dizzy and Dee. Runaway Boys became an instant cult hit on the punk scene and cracked the charts with their pulsating single, "Fallen Down" before the band suffered the tragic loss of Dee in late 2007 to cancer. Disillusioned by the passing of his brother, Kid withdrew himself from music for a couple of years. Ironically, however, it would be music that would ultimately re-ignite Kid and provide him with the medium to express his hopes, fears and creativity. The band Dreams of Leaving represented a new chapter in Kid's musical life. As the frontman, he was focused, driven and dynamic on stage. His energy and enthusiasm were infectious and a legion of new diehard fans quickly emerged. Behind the scenes, he was active in writing, performing and producing the band's material, often working around the clock in the studio until he was satisfied with the finished track. The band released their Everytime EP with instant local success, touring nationally and generating plenty of interest in the band's hijinks through their documented webisodes posted regularly on YouTube. After a whirlwind two years, Dreams of Leaving made a mutual agreement to part ways disbanding in mid-2011. Not one to view this as a setback, Kid worked tirelessly back in the studio and released his debut solo single "Told You So" Ft. Marcus in July, 2011. The track skyrocketed in sales on iTunes, selling over 3,000 copies, in just 48 hours. The single was picked up by Byron Cooke and Australia's hit music stations such as Fox FM (Melbourne), 2 Day FM (Sydney), B105 FM (Brisbane), 929 FM (Perth), SA FM (Adelaide) and NX FM (Newcastle). Requested to the peak, Hot 30 Countdown couldn't resist playing the track also. Kid has returned with brand new material from his upcoming EP release, featuring the single, "Clouded." www.kidhudson.com |
