Jonathan Yoni Laham, known professionally as Bridge (stylized as BRIDGE) is an American singer, songwriter and producer from Los Angeles. Debuting with the single "Roll My Weed" featuring Schoolboy Q in 2014, Bridge gained fame in 2019 for the song "GOMF", collaborating with DVBBS. He has released the albums Wreck (2017) and Smug (2019). In 2019, Bridge became the co-founder of gender neutral jewelry line Martyre, created with Anwar Hadid. In the same year, Bridge also launched his independent record label XX Recordings.

Life and career[edit]

Bridge grew up in Beverly Hills, California in Los Angeles County.[4] After being kicked out of several private schools, Bridge attended Beverly Hills High School.[4] He began creating music in 2011, choosing the stage name Bridges due to his ability to cross genres.[4] In 2014, Bridge debuted as a musician with the song "Roll My Weed" featuring Schoolboy Q, and planned to release a debut extended play produced by Malay and Robin Hannibal, however the release never eventuated.[5]

In late 2017, Bridge released his debut album Wreck through Warner Records.[6] In May 2019, Bridge became the co-founder of the gender neutral jewelry company Martyre, which he created alongside Anwar Hadid.[7][8][9] In the same month, Bridge's collaboration with DVBBS, entitled "GOMF", became a hit on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Songs chart, which was followed by his second album Smug in June.[10]

In 2019, Bridge formed the independent label XX Recordings, releasing his first single through the label, "DYDRM", in November 2019.[1] During the COVID-19 pandemic in California, Bridge released eight singles in the course of 2020.[11] Bridge plans to release a self-titled extended play in the first half of 2021.[12]

Personal life[edit]

In 2016, Bridge was linked romantically to British musician Rita Ora.[13]
