Curtisy


Gavin Curtis, known professionally as Curtisy, is an Irish rapper from Tallaght.

Early life

Curtisy grew up in Jobstown, Tallaght.

Career

Curtisy became popular on SoundCloud during the COVID-19 lockdowns. In January 2022 he released "Men on a Mission," a collaboration with Ahmed, With Love.
He cites Earl Sweatshirt, Kojaque and Wiki as influences.
Curtisy released What Was The Question, his first album, in 2024, which reached #3 on the Irish Independent Albums Chart and was nominated for the Choice Music Prize. The Irish Times praised it, saying "For someone at the start of a creative career, it’s a brilliantly accomplished album. The sound and feel, if not coming wholly from the depths of the wooziness of pandemic-era lockdowns, is certainly informed by a sort of existentialism or purgatorial state. And yet it’s neither wallowing nor a drag." His mixtape Beauty In The Beast followed in 2025.
