Hailing from Centretown ‘CT’ in Ottawa, Canada, this 23-year-old dynamo isn’t just creating music; he’s crafting anthems that resonate with the deepest parts of the human experience. Whether he’s spitting bars about heartbreak or delving into the dark realities of drug abuse and trauma, Dead Hendrix‘s music hits hard and stays with you long after the last note fades.
Dead Hendrix’s latest track, “Till We Die,” dropped in April 2024, and it’s already making waves.

The anticipation surrounding this mixtape is palpable, as fans and critics alike are eager to see what this punk rap maestro will deliver next.
Diving into Dead Hendrix’s discography is like taking a tour through the darker, yet profoundly real, corridors of the human psyche. His debut single “Hold Up” dropped in 2020, quickly establishing him as a serious player in the music scene. The 2022 EP ‘Dead Summer,’ a collaboration with Levi Zadoff, caught significant media attention and solidified his reputation for delivering music that’s both intense and relatable. His track “MUSTANG,” in collaboration with Yungcudii, became a viral hit in 2023, racking up over 135K streams on Spotify. These releases have not only garnered significant plays and attention but have also built a loyal fanbase that’s eager for more.
Growing up moving from shelters to the streets across cities like Montreal and Pigeon Forge before settling in Ottawa, Dead Hendrix faced numerous challenges that could have easily derailed his passion. Instead, these hardships fueled his creative fire. His friends nicknamed him Hendrix due to his “rockstar style,” reminiscent of the legendary Jimi Hendrix, which inspired his stage name, Dead Hendrix. From writing songs as a kid to finding his voice in rap during his elementary school years, Dead Hendrix has always felt a deep connection to music, particularly rap, which spoke to his experiences as an outcast.
Over the past few years, Dead Hendrix has achieved remarkable milestones. His 2020 single, “Miss U,” garnered 11,000 views, and his Instagram following has surpassed 4,000. He scored a feature from local celebrity Kill Xora and has been featured in over 100 music publications, including The Source, Earmilk, The Hype Magazine, Lyrical Lemonade, and NY Weekly.
