Luminous Kid / Olof Grind

Luminous Kid is the stage name of Olof Grind, a Swedish multimedia artist who draws inspiration from his vintage and ephemeral analog visual world to create queer indie-folk tracks. His music offers a soft swirl of soothing songs that blend nostalgia and liberation, driven by dreamy plucked indie folk guitars and a strong lyrical focus, making him a modern queer storyteller.

Before his music career, Grind was already a renowned photographer and visual artist, responsible for the iconic artwork of Phoebe Bridgers' Punisher album and featured in numerous publications, including Vogue.

In 2021, Luminous Kid released his debut album "at the end of the dream," featuring 13 tracks, a coffee table book of his photography, and seven self-directed music videos. The record garnered critical acclaim and included a guest appearance by Phoebe Bridgers, while the music video for "The Gutter of Our Ecstasy" won "Music Video of the Year" at the Swedish music gala "Manifestgalan."

Luminous Kid's unique blend of music, lyrics, and together with strong self-produced visual material creates a complete body of queer art. After touring the United States in 2023, Luminous Kid is now gearing up to join Hazlett on the road across Europe.
