Break out the Chobani.

2hollis isn’t easy to pin down, and that’s part of the draw. The Los Angeles-based artist folds cloud rap, glitchy hyper-pop, and freaky R&B into something that feels as restless as the internet itself.

So it’s no surprise he sold out Jannus Live shortly after the October show in St. Pete was announced. 

With pale, sharp features and the bleach blonde locks of a Targaryen, 2hollis carries the same otherworldly presence onstage that he does in his music. Born Hollis Parker Frazier-Herndon, he’s actually the offspring of indie music giants Kathryn Frazier and John Herndon.

The stop comes on the heels of Star, his April 2025 full-length on Interscope. The record swings between the abrasive distortion of artists like Ecco2k and the stripped-down intimacy of a Jane Remover record. 

“Flash” and “Tell Me’ land like high-speed collisions, while “Eldest Child” cuts everything back to a hushed guitar figure. It’s a continuation of the push-and-pull he refined on last year’s Boy, where tracks like “Lie” and “You Once Said My Name for the First Time” blurred sharp production with raw lyrics.

Outside of the albums, 2hollis has kept a steady pace of singles. “Afraid,” his collaboration with Nate Sib, splits the difference between cloud rap and warped electronics, while “Style” rides bass drops and clipped-808s as Hollis toggles between half-sung hooks and detached verses.

Over the summer, 2hollis brought Travis Scott levels of energy (“Put Your Body on My Jeans”), Gen-Z disco (“Forfeit”), and headbanging dubstep (“3”) to his Lollapalooza debut.

Tickets are sold out for 2hollis in St. Petersburg on Sunday, Oct. 19.
