Vlog Squad member Scotty Sire has released several rap and pop music videos on his YouTube channel, which counts 2.3 million subscribers. But now, the 26-year-old -- who counts 6 million followers across all platforms -- has taken the plunge with the release of his debut album, Ruin Your Party.
The album, which hit No. 7 on the iTunes pop charts and No. 55 overall on Saturday despite some technical difficulties upon its digital release, was preceded by several singles, including “American Love,” “Awkward," and “Take Me Away” -- for which Sire just released a music video. His music is characterized by tongue-in-cheek lyrics and catchy beats. He collaborated with co-producer and co-writer Terence Coles on “Away’, and with influencer-musician Myles Parrish and Grammy winner Elijah Blake on "American Love."
“This is my first album, which I felt was important to self-fund and put my heart and soul into,” Sire said in a statement.
