The Backpack Kid

The Backpack Kid, real name Russell Horning, burst onto the scene thanks to his signature dance move, "The Floss." After showcasing his moves on Saturday Night Live alongside Katy Perry in 2017, the dance went massively viral, making him an instant internet sensation. He's since leveraged that fame into a music career, releasing tracks like "Flossin," "Goofy Ahh Beats," and "Balenciagas." His music often incorporates elements of hip-hop and electronic music, reflecting the high-energy vibe of his dance moves.

While "The Floss" remains his most recognizable contribution to pop culture, Horning continues to create music and expand his artistic endeavors. He's collaborated with artists like Swaghollywood and DJ Suede The Remix God, and his tracks like "Aloha," "Insecure," and "Redemption" show a developing musical style. He's a testament to the power of the internet and how a single viral moment can launch a career, and he continues to build on that initial success.
