glaive biography

Ash Blue Gutierrez, professionally known as glaive, is an American musician and producer who gained recognition in 2020 from the hyperpop community on SoundCloud. Born on January 20, 2005, Gutierrez is based in North Carolina. He first began creating music early in the COVID-19 pandemic while attending high school online, recording his initial songs in his bedroom and quickly drawing an audience on SoundCloud with his distinctive blend of hyperpop and emo-influenced pop. Despite being associated with hyperpop, he has described much of his work as ‘plain pop,’ expressing a desire to expand beyond genre labels. Known for themes of frustration, alienation, and emotional intensity, glaive’s work frequently explores mental health and youthful angst, combining elements of emo, pop, trap, and indie rock. Although often associated with hyperpop and digicore, glaive's music has evolved into a more mainstream pop sound, influenced by genres like Midwest emo and pop punk.
