CCHHRRIISSTTOODD

CCHHRRIISSTTOODD (pronounced “Christ O.D.” with a stutter) is the solo project of Ghent-based tattoo-artist-turned-musician Berry Bleck. His distinctive beats provide a bed for eclectic lyrics covering topics ranging from his struggles with depression and apathy to dreamlike descriptions of drug-fueled psychedelic trips. A multidisciplinary artist, Bleck meticulously curates the project’s aesthetic himself, incorporating pieces of his own artwork and distinct style into each release.

Constantly shifting between two worlds — the physical and the fantasy — CCHHRRIISSTTOODD has proved to be an undoubtedly unique blend of industrial hip-hop, rap, witch house, and even rave. Live, his shows incorporate even more of this duality than ever: he draws his energy from the crowd, his mood shifting from euphoria to downright fury, each word dripping with intent to deliver a convincing performance.
