USUALLY MODEST is a upcoming artist born and raised in Switzerland with Ukrainian roots.

Growing up as a shy small-town boy right by the Zurich Lake, he has started from scratch without any sort of musical background or knowledge. The now 23yr old has taught himself how to write, sing and produce his own songs. From his early days on Soundcloud back in 2017 to his music now being streamed on all platforms across the globe in cities like Los Angeles, Tokyo & Sào Paulo.

“Music is everything to me and I honestly don’t know where I’d be without it. Music has saved me and gave my life purpose.

So, now I want my music to do the same for others: to help and inspire.”

The lyrics and songs of USUALLY MODEST are all based on real life experiences. From a selfishly mean Punk-Rock influenced record like “Rude” to a “sing-along at the concert” kind of Pop song as “So Am I” is. Wether he’s seemingly effortlessly flowing with rhymes or singing his heart out, the young artist has always been very big on his passion and creativity when it comes to doing what he loves most in this world.

In the time span of the last 3 years, 2 EP’s and a handful of singles have been released along with some music videos which has gained him the attention of a few listeners. Over 350’000 streams on Spotify, 50’000 total views on Youtube & various national as well as a few international radio placements, all while being an independent artist. His latest single “Soul Searching” has made its official radio premiere on the biggest Swiss urban radio SRF Virus and ever since been in weekly rotation.

What’s next?

USUALLY MODEST has just released his new single “I'm Happy (Not Really)”.
