Hudson Freeman

Hudson Freeman is a Brooklyn-based lofi-folk artist, shaped by the DIY Midwest. The 27-year-old continues to record and perform songs that are equal parts resonant, reflective, and poignant. He has quickly emerged as one of indie’s most enthralling new voices. His recent full-length, A Folk Artist, helped solidify his presence as a songwriter unafraid to tackle life’s most challenging contradictions: modern identity, digital disconnection, and faith.

Born to Evangelical missionaries, Hudson began writing songs after a radical break at age thirteen, when his family suddenly moved from the suburbs of Dallas to the Kingdom of Eswatini. Influences from indie luminaries like Sufjan Stevens and Bon Iver, combined with college years in Springfield, Missouri, helped shape him into a do-it-yourself Midwesterner.

Now, his new song “If You Know Me” is drawing widespread attention, propelling Freeman into a larger spotlight than ever. The track blends bedroom pop, folk, slowcore, and post-emo, anchored by a singular guitar riff and mantra-like lyrics—confirming Hudson’s undeniable knack for melody.
