Medium Build , queer singer-songwriter Nick Carpenter, has a generous and welcoming spirit that manifests itself in his songwriting and inspires the listener to dig deep and discover themselves.

The artist has toured with pop acts such as Lewis Capaldi, Matt Maeson and FINNEAS, but underneath is an old country soul. Songs like "Crying Over U" embrace vulnerability with Carpenter's intricate lyricism and gritty yet soft voice at the helm, while "Never Learned to Dance" is pure cosmic Americana, complete with lush acoustic guitar and twangy steel, but it's also distinctly contemporary - a modern tale of digital love and lost connections.

Beyond the sound alone, what Medium Build takes most from country music is a sense of longing and restlessness, always in search of a different experience and expression, in whatever form they may come.
