Week four of Monster Children’s 2024 Bright Young Things presented by Boost. Oh hell freaking yes.

Featuring a handpicked group of our favourite young surfers, skaters, musicians, artists, filmmakers, photographers, and creative all-rounders right now, BYT is back. From a film developer to a surfer who edits all his own clips to a dog-loving French skater to what will soon be the best Hip-Hop/Rap producer in New York City, we’ve scoured the waves, skateparks, studios, and YouTube accounts of the world to find young guns who don’t just do their ‘thing’ better than everyone else—they do it with style, and that’s why we like ‘em.

This week, we shine a light on five special youths.

Surfer and custom wet suit maker Leo Le Blanc, LA-based singer/songwriter Hollis Howard, NYC-based musician and producer Laila Wayans, photographer/zine maker/surfer Gabriella Angotti-Jones, and one of our favorite French skaters, Lilian Fev.
