Heath240 is the rapping by-product of the working city of Boston, Massachusetts and the highs and lows of his past. He combines Hip Hop with Bedroom-Pop and Dance/House, then juxtaposes a light-hearted delivery with darker lyrics. His distinct sound, unwavering energy, and versatile flow poises him as one of the most promising up-and-comers in the rap game. 

Heath spent most of his time growing up in Jamaica Plain, MA. His name, Heath240, was created from his address, 240 Heath St., where he spent most of his time. “As a kid I often felt too black for the white kids but too white for the black kids” says Heath. He was first introduced to Hip Hop through his dad playing the “Carter III” between basketball practices. This ignited his curiosity and exploration for the genre.  He faced adversity at a young age when both his mentor and friend passed away. To get a fresh start, he transferred to a new school in the suburbs but was riddled with depression and anxiety. These feelings weighed heavily on him and he relied heavily on music for relief. It was during these times he realized that rapping was what he wanted to dedicate his life to because he wanted to help people like himself become more positive and self-confident. Heath would go on to graduate high school and transfer to Northeastern University. From there he mastered the craft of Hip Hop while educating and elevating himself in the music industry. 

Despite his young career as an artist, Heath has already garnered positive reviews by Sleeping on Gems, Graduation Music, Sleepless Boston, The Museum TV, and a variety of local publications. In addition, he has had the opportunity to share the stage with national artists such as Quando Rondo and Nessly. His first LP, “The Hometown Hero” showcased the potential he has to craft eloquent expressions of self-identity and musical appreciation. The lead single “Pollen” was featured on numerous playlists and has currently streamed over 77,000 plays. Now with an established fan base, Heath can only go up from here. 

Heath is always working through the songwriting process and pushing an experimental sound. He is mainly influenced by Bedroom-Pop and DIY.  This style has opened his eyes to new fashion and aesthetics. By working in this genre he hopes to merge more Hip-Hop culture into it by showcasing his own personal experiences. “My inspirations for my current music are finding interesting ways to push Hip Hop. Everything is fair game!” says Heath.
