ABOUT ROYAL & THE SERPENT
Royal & the Serpent is an artist entirely unafraid to bare the deepest and darkest parts of her psyche.
After making her Atlantic Records debut with the 2020 EP, get a grip – highlighted by the RIAA Gold-
certified single “Overwhelmed,” which spent 22 weeks on Billboard’s “Alternative Airplay” chart – the
L.A.-based singer-songwriter revealed even more of her frenetic inner world in 2022 with IF I DIED
WOULD ANYONE CARE and Happiness Is An Inside Job. Royal introduced fans to the “royalverse” in 2023,dropping 4 EPs, titled RAT TRAPs, throughout last year. RAT TRAP I: the blueprint features the powerfullyinspiring, fan favorite LGBTQ+ anthem, “One Nation Underdogs.” Her unfiltered songwriting has provedwildly resonant to her ever-growing fanbase—and led to such triumphs as touring with Fall Out Boy,Demi Lovato, grandson, PVRIS, and soon with Avril Lavigne.
Originally from New Jersey, Royal started in dance and theatre, and first took up guitar at age 14, then
relocated to L.A. at age 18. While working as a bartender, Royal soon started self-releasing her music,
beginning with her spellbinding 2017 single “Temperance.” Thanks to the buzz behind songs like 2019’s
“Weddings & Funerals” and “Salvador Dali” – as well as her electrifying live show – she eventually inked
a deal with Atlantic and released “Overwhelmed” in the early days of Covid lockdown.
ABOUT GAYLE
GAYLE made a triumphant arrival with the 2022 release of her debut EP, a study of the human
experience volume one, highlighted by the 4x RIAA Platinum-certified hit “abcdefu.” Named among the
“Best Songs of 2022” by Billboard, Rolling Stone, and UPROXX, the track proved a worldwide sensation,
spending nine consecutive weeks at #1 on Billboard’s “Global 200” while peaking at #3 on the US ”Hot
100” after three straight weeks atop Top 40 radio charts nationwide. “abcdefu” later earned GAYLE her
first-ever GRAMMY® Award nomination (for “Song of the Year”), an ever-increasing list of global honors
and accolades that include an American Music Awards nomination for “New Artist Of The Year,” a
People’s Choice Awards nomination for “The New Artist of 2022,” a Kids’ Choice Awards nomination for
“Favorite Breakthrough Artist,” two 2022 MTV EMAs nominations, two MTV Video Music Awards
nominations, being named a Billboard Music Awards finalist, and featured placement on both Billboard’s
influential “21 Under 21” list and Variety’s 2022 “Power of Young Hollywood” Impact List.
2023 proved a landmark year for GAYLE, highlighted by a string of new music including “butterflies,”
featured on BARBIE THE ALBUM, Atlantic Records’ chart-topping musical companion to the Academy
Award-nominated film, Barbie, starring Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling as Barbie and Ken and
distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures. In addition, the 19-year-old songstress shared such high-profile
collaborations as co-writing Kelly Clarkson’s smash ballad, “me,” as well as a feature on Lauren Spencer
Smith’s acclaimed “Fantasy (with GAYLE & Em Beihold).”
GAYLE celebrated with her biggest ever North American headline run, The Scared But Trying Tour, as
well as a series of North American stadium shows as special guest on the blockbuster Taylor Swift | The
Eras Tour, top-billed festival appearances, and special guest role on P!NK’s Summer Carnival 2023. This
year will see GAYLE return to Europe and the United Kingdom as support on P!NK’s Summer Carnival
