The Wavy Kid came out of Brooklyn with a hip-hop and R&B sound that caught attention. Darius "D" Young fronted the group, and their single "Bad" got some radio play and charted in a few places.
That song had a straightforward beat and some melodic hooks, and D's lyrics touched on personal stuff that people connected with. It wasn't polished pop, but it worked.
There was some noise about plagiarism early on, which they had to deal with. D also wrote about social issues in ways that got people talking, sometimes arguing. They kept making music through it.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
