Multi-platinum singer, songwriter, and producer gnash has made quite the name for himself with a string of successful releases in the indie-pop realm. His gently confrontational, honest-to-a-fault new release "leave" was co-produced alongside the Ricky Reed-signed, multi-platinum artist Imad Royal.

gnash stepped into the spotlight in 2016 with his 5-time platinum breakthrough hit "i hate u, i love u," which spent an impressive 39 weeks on Billboard's Hot 100 Chart, and since then has racked up over 2 billion streams and 500 million YouTube views. gnash's direct style of self-expression resonates with listeners everywhere, and he has built a dedicated fanbase of dreamers that connect their own experiences to his open-hearted and emotional brand of electro pop. With a simple combination of electric piano, bass, and guitar, gnash exposes the raw fragility and willing self-incrimination of a complicated relationship. Even as he is ready to do whatever it takes to make it work, he takes responsibility for his own erratic behavior. "leave" documents the moment between two people when love, by itself, is not enough.
