GoldLink live in BIRD Rotterdam – 12 april 2026 | Future bounce concert
There was no place in the musical landscape for an artist like GoldLink. Until he created one himself. Raised in and around Washington, D.C., the rapper, born D’Anthony Carlos in 1993, began writing music in his late teens. He carved out his own lane somewhere between hip hop, house, electronic music and R&B. A colourful, vibrant, rhythmic whirlwind that pulls you in from the start.
In 2014 his debut mixtape The God Complex arrived. A year later he landed in the XXL Freshman Class. With guidance and insight from Def Jam, co founded by Rick Rubin, he released And After That, We Didnt Talk in 2015, a project that fused raw storytelling with a bright, buoyant sound. In 2017 he dropped At What Cost, featuring the Grammy nominated track Crew.
Together with boundary pushers like Anderson Paak, KAYTRANADA, Flume and Chance the Rapper, GoldLink represents an ever widening vision of what hip hop and dance music can be. He imagines a borderless club world where genres and regions do not collide but flow together, where the vibe leads the way. Not rap, not electronic, but what GoldLink playfully calls future bounce. And that is exactly what he is creating right now.
