<
Artist/musician Mod Sun, has unveiled a brand new music video for his vibrant and colorful single, “Free Love,” via Youtube. The uplifting and free spirited track appears on his self-produced LP, ‘Look Up,’ which in addition to being available in the US, is now available in Australia via iTunes, Spotify and Google Play.
The clip, directed by Mod himself, was shot in North Hollywood, CA this past May.
Mod puts it succinctly, saying: “We shot a video all by ourselves, watch it!”
Mod Sun is currently bringing his signature blend of contagious, positive and explosive energy to the Vans Warped Tour, performing in front of record breaking crowds. Absolutpunk recently raved, “When you show up for a Mod Sun show, expect to have a ton of fun and dance your ass off.” The tour runs through August 8th.
‘Look Up’ was released in the U.S. this past March and features guest appearances by Machine Gun Kelly, Jody Highroller, G-Eazy, Blackbear, Travis Barker and Dizzy Wright and also includes his audio book, “Did I Ever Wake Up?.”
The prolific rapper, who has released a steady string of EP’s, singles and mixtapes since 2009, has also collaborated with artists such as Schoolboy Q, Nipsey Hussle and Ab-Soul.

“A really chill album with good vibes and loads of positivity.”- Rap Genius
“Despite hailing from the chilly Twin Cities, the pop phenom’s sound is more evocative of warm weather and sea breezes.”- DJ Booth
“…a debut full of integrity & highlights just how Mod Sun’s potential is exponentially increasing.”- Absolutepunk
“Mod Sun is the type of artist that the Alternative/Hip-Hop scene needs. In a world with so much negativity, Mod aims to inspire and make the world a better place….full of gems…he’s up against some huge names within the industry, but trying to compare him to anybody else would be pointless. Mod is his own man. There’s nobody else in the industry combining alternative and hip-hop so effortlessly like him. That’s why Look Up succeeds.’- Sermon’s Domain
