cld, also known as cldsummer (born November 27, 2004), is an underground artist currently affiliated with the music collective Dynasty. He began making music in January 2021 and gained early recognition with his first notable release, “Tug of War” featuring viizzi, in May of that year.

Throughout 2021 and 2022, cld released music consistently, collaborating with a wide range of artists—most notably his frequent collaborator uxie. He explored and blended various genres, including digicore, alternative rock, emoplugg, and more, gradually building a dedicated following through his genre-fluid approach.

In late 2022, cld joined the collective afflicted, where his sound began to evolve. Moving away from his earlier style, he embraced the fast-paced, choppy vocal aesthetic that defined much of afflicted’s music. During this period, he collaborated with artists such as 1crusafix, crusey, akkiro, and others from the group.

Following the dissolution of afflicted in the summer of 2023, cld returned to a more melodic direction, focusing on pluggnb and emoplugg-inspired tracks. Later, he became a member of Dynasty, reuniting with uxie and collaborating with fellow artists such as seph, alt0, venthan, weary, and others within the collective.
