"Two Feet, is no stranger to creating unique, chilled, yet bass-heavy tracks that soar into mainstream circles due to their catchiness, real life relatability, bleak and edgy tones, and elite production value" – Atwood Magazine
Acclaimed singer/songwriter/producer Two Feet returns with new thumping single “Think I’m Crazy”. Two Feet is the soulful, atmospheric solo project of New York City-based singer/songwriter Bill Dess, who balances his breathy, yearning vocals with heavy bass grooves, guitar riffs, and moody electronic flourishes. The project first gained attention in 2016 when the track "Go F*ck Yourself" went viral with over 329M streams, reaching Top 40 on the US Hot Rock Songs chart, paving the way for Two Feet's debut First Steps EP. Seamlessly fusing genres from blues and jazz to alternative and electronic, his new upbeat single is an evolution of Two Feet's unmistakably hypnotizing sound.
