Roy Woods - Topic

Roy Woods is a shapeshifter. The Brampton, Ontario, native’s music has never been just one thing, but as he’s released more hit records, he’s been able to fuse even more new sounds and styles to his lovelorn R&B. Since signing to Drake’s OVO Sound in 2015, he’s darted between brash rap tracks, ecstatic EDM, low-key dancehall (a nod to his Guyanese heritage and his Toronto roots), and even gleaming pop. Roy's next phase continues a period of growth that began with his 2020 Dem Times EP and the unpredictable nature of life. Throughout his career, Roy Woods has demonstrated his boundary-pushing approach to R&B since he released his 2015 debut Exis, which peaked at #10 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums Chart. His work has connected with fans too—he now has over 2 billion streams across platforms and over 1 million Instagram followers. It’s all the result of being unafraid to push himself. For Roy, nothing is off-limits.
