What people are saying:

  • "Storming with emotional urgency, pouring down mood-infused washed-out dreamscape, ibbi Too Vicious brings an indie twist of woozy pop beat in “Astrogirl,” easily charm the music lovers. A hint of Machine Gun Kelly’s emo rocker energy mixed in his own brand of oozed coolness distinguish his sound from being too “mainstream” and cliche to an unique edge of hard-hitting banger that you can’t help but love knee-deep."

  • "‘Party Alone’ slathers synths with bold beats in a contemporary pop meets hip hop style. Finding the delicate balance between Charlie Puth and Shawn Mendes, ‘Party Alone’ has heavy pop vibes; however, there ibbi Too Vicious’ distinctive style stands out in the single. Rich, warm and tender, his vocal execution sends you soaring atop the toe-tapping melody. Easily intoxicating with his loveable charm, ibbi Too Vicious shares an intense vulnerability in ‘Party Alone’ – a vulnerability that is heard in his previous material but with less frenzy. What I enjoy about ‘Party Alone’ is how it oozes a passionate awkwardness in the lyrical content but has a confident boldness in the melody..."

  • "‘Closed Doors’ has the perfect upbeat vibe with just the right dash of punk and alternative influences. The guitar beginning sets up a good bounce for the track, and the vocals cut in with their somber tone and then alternate between that and a more energetic sound. The vocals really take the forefront in this track. ibbi Too Vicious works wonders with his voice, utilizing a higher and breath-charged vocal tone and quick belted lines. The chorus is infinitely catchy, and it serves as the perfect earworm. This track hits just the right emo-pop sound in a wonderful way..."

Bio

From Cincinnati, OH, ibbi Too Vicious (Ibrahim Munir) is a Pakistani-American singer-songwriter who is breaking the boxes of genre. ibbi started making music at the end of 2020 while he was cooped up during the pandemic.

ibbi is heavily inspired by Steve Jobs, Young Thug, The Beatles, and Jaden. He looks up to those who have defied industry and synthesized something completely new with their resources and channels that same energy into his musical efforts. Reviewers often note he has a contemporary take on a traditional rock style.

ibbi has always loved writing since he was young: in elementary school he used to write short stories and sell them to his classmates for $0.50. That love for writing has stayed over the years, and his lyrical talent is one of the main differentiators between him and other artists. Whether it’s pop, alternative, or indie, his distinctive style stands out on every track with both his mood-infused vocals and emotionally urgent lyrics.

His most recent release and first ep, I LIKE HOW THIS MAKES ME FEEL, sees ibbi hone in on a darker sound and create a body of work accumulating his experience over the last 3 years and 7 singles.
