Curtisy
Irish rapper
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Early life
Career
Curtisy became popular on SoundCloud during the COVID-19 lockdowns.[3] In January 2022 he released "Men on a Mission," a collaboration with Ahmed, With Love.[4]
He cites Earl Sweatshirt, Kojaque and Wiki as influences.[5]
Curtisy released What Was The Question, his first album, in 2024, which reached #3 on the Irish Independent Albums Chart and was nominated for the Choice Music Prize.[3] The Irish Times praised it, saying "For someone at the start of a creative career, it’s a brilliantly accomplished album. The sound and feel, if not coming wholly from the depths of the wooziness of pandemic-era lockdowns, is certainly informed by a sort of existentialism or purgatorial state. And yet it’s neither wallowing nor a drag." His mixtape Beauty In The Beast followed in 2025.[6]
