BVSQUIAT is the masked alter ego of American rapper and writer Bobby Winters, an experimental artist blending the raw essence of alternative hip-hop, Southern trap, and boom bap into a sound that’s as confrontational as it is vulnerable.

BVSQUIAT is the masked alter ego of American rapper and writer Bobby Winters, an experimental artist blending the raw essence of alternative hip-hop, Southern trap, and boom bap into a sound that’s as confrontational as it is vulnerable. Born and raised in Georgia, Winters created BVSQUIAT as both a persona and a survival mechanism — a modern-day mask echoing the duality of Venom and Eddie Brock or Stanley Ipkiss and The Mask. BVSQUIAT’s music is deeply rooted in themes of ego death, mental health, identity, and divine purpose. Heavily inspired by artists like Gorillaz, MF DOOM, André 3000, and early 2000s hip-hop, BVSQUIAT uses cryptic bars, vivid imagery, and guerrilla-style promotion to build an immersive universe for fans. Known for his DIY ethos and anonymous presence, BVSQUIAT gained a cult following through cryptic social campaigns and conceptual releases. Each album in his debut trilogy—crafted over years but withheld due to fear of vulnerability—was eventually released as an act of artistic defiance. According to Winters, “These weren’t throwaways. These were the ones that scared me the most.” Through BVSQUIAT, Bobby Winters continues to explore the space between introspection and spectacle, creating art that both challenges and connects.
