Gwyn Love (they/them) is the first-ever American artist signed to Vancouver-based 604 Records. Together, with multi-platinum producer and composer, La+ch (best known for the certified 4x Platinum hit “2 Heads” with Coleman Hell), they’ve crafted an upbeat, feel-good track for the summer, “happy 2 b here.”

“happy 2 b here represents moving from Oklahoma to LA perfectly to me,” Gwyn explains. “It combines the two vibes whilst having a little splash of country with a dance-y beach track. This is the first song I wrote after moving to LA and it means a lot to me because it shows how much I’ve grown over the years in music. So excited to finally share this one with the world!”

Born into a conservative family with eight siblings, and growing up in small-town Oklahoma, Gwyn Love was introduced to music at a young age; picking up the cello at age 5 and writing their first song at 11. Over the past decade, their sound has continued to evolve — blending what the artist describes as a punk mentality with an electronic-pop vibe. As a creative deeply invested in every aspect of their sound, drawing mainly from their own life experience, Gwyn maintains that they are hardly ever at a loss for words when it comes to songwriting — musical motivation and vision are always priority one.

La+ch has produced records for a wide variety of other artists in addition to his continued work with Coleman Hell. His discography includes production credits for electro-pop outfit Dragonette, Toronto hip-hop artist Shan Vincent de Paul, and rising indie-pop songstress Emily Rowed. La+ch also produces and mixes his solo work, including his critically acclaimed debut album, +, which has amassed over 35 million streams on Spotify.
