Powfu, whose real name is Isaiah Faber, is a Canadian musician and lo-fi hip-hop artist who rose to prominence with his reflective and often introspective musical style. Born on March 31, 1999, in Mission, British Columbia, Powfu belongs to a new generation of musicians who comfortably blend elements of rap, emo-trap, and indie music, forging a connection with an audience that resonates with his relatable and earnest lyrics. His music typically features mellow beats and a casual delivery that evoke an intimate, bedroom-produced aesthetic.

Powfu's ascent in the music industry was marked by the breakout success of his 2019 single "death bed (coffee for your head)," which featured Philippine indie singer beabadoobee, and went viral on the platform TikTok, leading to a record deal with Columbia Records. The track showcased Powfu's introspective style and ability to capture the angst and complexities of youthful existence. His subsequent releases, such as "fault in the stars" and "tell me your feelings and i won't tell you mine pt. 2," continue to build on his distinct sound, blending melancholic themes with raw emotion, while tracks like "walk on wine" and "wallflower" further display his versatility and growth as an artist. Powfu's relatability and the genuineness of his music continue to garner a loyal fanbase and keep him as a notable figure in the shifting landscape of modern music.
