Black Summer - YeH

ou may have caught wind of Black Summer (Rhys Toms) when Triple J unearthed “Dark Times Bright Lights” and dubbed him “Australia's youngest producer” in 2015. How can an 11 year old (at the time) create a song good enough to air on Australia’s top radio station? Well that’s what a lot of people asked for the better part of five years, discrediting the young artist's efforts for being too rough and by claiming “ghost producers” were behind the songs. Thousands of hate comments/memes were hurled Toms’ way and it started consuming his life. Every time he wanted to fight back haters, his parents encouraged him to keep his head down and keep grinding.
