Those views, which often lean to the progressive left, are expressed in his music in such songs as “Yeehaw,” “Are We Great Yet” and “The Older I Get,” all featured on his aptly-titled July EP, Independence Day. They have also resonated deeply with his more than 3.8 million TikTok and 1.5 million Instagram followers.
