Hard Working Boss est le projet pop lo-fi sardonique du Gallois Jim Sheppard, basé à Paris. Connu pour son mélange de paroles chargées d'ironie et de refrains contagieux, Sheppard a d'abord fait sensation avec son premier album Bonjour Fucker (2013), une exploration brute de la pop lo-fi agrémentée d'humour et de rebondissements inattendus. Son album suivant, Revulva (2020), a continué à élargir son son, apportant une production plus riche et des mélodies plus accrocheuses sans perdre le charme DIY qui définit son style.
Hard Working Boss est désormais sur le point de sortir Unfinished Songs , un single qui sortira le 6 décembre 2024 , promettant un nouveau son et marquant le début du prochain chapitre créatif de Hard Working Boss.
