About this Artist
serpentwithfeet is an alternative r&b artist. The Baltimore-born singer-songwriter, whose influences include Geoffrey Holder, Toni Morrison, Brandy, and Nina Simone, is taking the natural steps as a versatile talent from chapter to chapter in his career. serpent’s third album, GRIP, is the result of these latest steps. GRIP finds its home on the dance floor of Black gay clubs and the intimate moments that happen there and afterward, no matter the location.
Through all of his music, he allows compassion to be the backbone of his art, as he communes with his most loving self. In 2021, serpent released his sophomore album, DEACON, which enshrined the Black, queer love at its center as something blessedly uncomplicated and precious. The following year, he released a content series, serpent’s Parlor, which was accompanied by the smooth, propulsive single “I’m Pressed.”
