Life and career

Bridge grew up in Beverly Hills, California in Los Angeles County.[2] After being kicked out of several private schools, Bridge attended Beverly Hills High School.[2] He began creating music in 2011, choosing the stage name Bridges due to his ability to cross genres.[2] In 2014, Bridge debuted as a musician with the song "Roll My Weed" featuring Schoolboy Q, and planned to release a debut extended play produced by Malay and Robin Hannibal, however the release never eventuated.[3] In late 2017, Bridge released his debut album Wreck through Warner Records. In May 2019, Bridge became the co-founder of the gender neutral jewelry company Martyre, which he created alongside Anwar Hadid.[4] [5] [6] In the same month, Bridge's collaboration with DVBBS, entitled "GOMF", became a hit on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart, which was followed by his second album Smug in June. In 2019, Bridge formed the independent label XX Recordings, releasing his first single through the label, "DYDRM", in November 2019.[1] During the COVID-19 pandemic in California, Bridge released eight singles in the course of 2020. Bridge plans to release a self-titled extended play in the first half of 2021.[7]

Personal life

In 2016, Bridge was linked romantically to British musician Rita Ora.[8]
