BLONDE SUPPERMACY: Reviving 2016.Redefining 2025.

Born in 2004. Bringing back 2016. Breaking into 2025. At just 21 years old, Giovanni LeGrand—better known as Blonde Suppermacy—has quickly risen through the internet’s bloodstream over the past year. He now sits at nearly 200K monthly listeners on Spotify, with his breakout hit “City Nights” crossing 377K streams. Blonde’s top tracks—“Blunts,” “2016,” and “ANGELWITHNOWINGS”—all embody the dreamy, pastel-colored vibe of the 2010s.

FROM THE 407

Gio grew up in Orlando, Florida. Music wasn’t the plan at first—it was basketball. That changed when his uncle moved down to Florida and altered the trajectory of Gio’s life. “He was this crazy pianist,” Blonde recalls. “He moved down from Michigan and we’d just spend hours listening to him play. That was the first spark.” When his uncle passed, that spark died with him. Gio turned back to basketball—but not for long. Then MF DOOM passed away. “I was just like… bro, I gotta go for it, ’cause I could die too. And I’d regret not doing something I truly enjoy for the rest of my life.”

THE GENESIS OF BLONDE SUPPERMACY

His influence list reads like a cult-classic cinematic moodboard: A$AP Rocky, Lauryn Hill, old Drake, Kid Cudi, Biggie, Tupac, Frank Ocean, Lil B, and Clams Casino. “I love artists who make you feel something,” he says. “They’re just different, you know—it felt like home. I like music that’s different.” Blonde Suppermacy was born out of heartbreak. “It literally started because of a breakup,” he admits. “I was listening to Cudi, going through it, and I was like, yo… I’mma be alright. I’m just gonna keep going.” That hunger fuels him. “I’m just starving to be different, ’cause I want people to feel things again.”

THE ACCIDENT THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

“City Nights” wasn’t even supposed to exist, yet it’s Blonde’s favorite track. “Someone had this old song of mine called ‘Pass’ in their playlist, and I was like—what if I redo this but rap over it and actually try?” he laughs. “I didn’t even have to write anything. I just rapped. I blacked out. I don’t even remember recording it.” He posted it—and it blew up. Another personal favorite is “Love Something,” a cult-loved single from his EP FASHION MUSIC. The track blends ethereal vocals with hazy, hypnotic production reminiscent of Clams Casino’s atmospheric textures and A$AP Rocky’s late-night aura.

THE HARD PART: BELIEVING BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DOES

“Being alone at the start,” he recalls, “was the hardest part.” At the beginning of this year, Gio had zero followers. “I had people around me just hating,” he admits. “They’d say, ‘bro, you’re not gonna do it.’ Even some family members would laugh.” He didn’t listen. “If you have a dream and someone around you is hating on it, it’s not worth sacrificing your dream just to live for other people.” Now, he’s approaching 250K. “Overnight, everything changed. Anything is possible. Anything.”

THE FANS: HIS FUEL

“Every DM is like, ‘Yo, I was going through something and your music helped,’” he says. “That’s crazy to me.” Those moments keep Blonde Suppermacy going through the highs and lows of a fast-rising career. “My little brother’s friend hit him like, ‘Yo, isn’t this your brother? They’re playing him at our school.’ Bro—I almost cried.”

SO, WHERE IS HE GOING?

In five years? “Mainstream,” he says instantly. “Anything is possible.” With upcoming shows already scheduled, Blonde is focused on reaching as many people as he can through his music.

HIS MESSAGE TO THE YOUTH

“You gotta know that anything is possible. I know it’s hard, but at the end of the day it’s so important to trust yourself. You gotta believe it when no one is seeing.” He pauses. “I just wanna say—it’s possible. Anything is possible. Keep dreaming. Reach for your dreams. You have one life—wouldn’t you rather go for your dreams and be happy?” He smiles. “Life is just too short to live for other people.”
