Axel Tufvesson (born February 28, 1995), known professionally as Yung Sherman, is a Swedish music producer and DJ. Tufvesson, alongside Yung Lean and Gud, is a member of the Stockholm based rap group Sad Boys, which has gained notoriety in the cloud rap scene.[1] Interview has described Tufvesson's music as "Incorporating eccentric, melancholy and sometimes even obscurely exultant sounds with the types of bass and snare big producers would die for",[2] while Vice has described it as "sickeningly layered".[3]

Biography

Axel Tufvesson was born on 28 February 1995 in Stockholm, Sweden.[4][5] Tufvesson first began making music around 2012; it was around this time that he met the other members of the Sad Boys group through mutual friends.[6] Tufvesson has contributed to Yung Lean's albums including Warlord, Starz and Stranger. Tufvesson has also produced songs for Bladee, and appeared on his 2024 album Cold Visions. Tufvesson's production on Warlord was described by The Guardian as "a twisted, trippy brew that eschews gunshot sample-heavy hip-hop cliche to blend retro 808 beats, witch-y house and a serrated, narcotic take on sombre Scandi synth-pop".[7] In 2017, Tufvesson released two solo EPs, Innocence and Innocence V2, under the label YEAR0001.[8] Tufvesson co-produced the debut album Xavier by the American rapper Xaviersobased.

Tufvesson has modeled for an Adidas Spring/Summer 2025 collection.[9]
