Some people might know Sub Urban as a smaller creator in the music industry as he is a musician, producer, and song writer for himself. He recently started growing a lot in popularity from his music videos and recent album release, which was just this year.

His real name is actually Daniel Virgil Maisonneuve, and he was born in Nyack, New York on October 22^nd, 1999 (He is currently 21). Throughout his life, he has suffered with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID) and Bipolar Disorder, along with suicidal thoughts following these disorders.

Sub has gained a lot of followers on Social Media platforms such as YouTube (@Sub Urban, 2.5m), Spotify (@Sub Urban, 5.1m Listeners), Twitter (@thatsuburban, 19k), and Instagram (@thatsuburban, 359k). He posts regularly on these sites since his managers don’t have control over his platforms, unlike other singers.

He has collaborated with a few smaller artists, too. Some such as REI AMI and DNMO. Also, he had plans to go on tour with Melanie Martinez (A more popular artist), but it had gotten postponed thanks to the pandemic and isolation. Sub has also released an album recently called “Thrill Seeker” (March 13, 2020), and also a viral single in 2019 called “Cradles”. Some of these songs have really helped popularize him over the past year.

As for some music videos he has published, the Cradles music video has 262 million views on YouTube, the Freak music video for his album has 115 million views (Both videos have been directed by Andrew Donoho), and another one of his official videos, a lyric video for a single called “Isolate”, has 7.1 million views. His main music/song genres are considered to be Pop, Anti-Pop, Indie Pop, and Alternative Electronic. Sub has also won one award for his viral songs.

Sub has been making music for the past 3 years, and as a fan of him, I hope he releases more soon.

So winter break got updated and we are doing 2 weeks of remote learning after the break (Which is the safest option). I felt that winter break would probably have this because of Christmas time and people getting excited and gathering to celebrate.

As for Christmas, my parents haven’t put up a tree yet, but I feel like it’s because of our out-of-control dog who destroys everything. I really want to decorate one but we don’t have a solid plan to solve what could happen. My parents said we could go shopping before or after Christmas for stuff we want, but I’m still not sure what exactly I want. I do want to start picking up some more hobbies in case the 2 remote learning weeks gets extended and I have to stay home constantly (Not that I mind, I’m a huge introvert).

Usually, my family has a lot of people over for supper on Christmas Eve, but I think that with us being in a pandemic right now, it would be stupid to do that. We might just have to stay home and have a little supper on our own. I really want to visit my dad, too, so I’ll probably visit him after he’s done working, or on Christmas Day.
