Kyle Pfeiffer, better known as Blacklite District, is back and stronger than ever. With a career marked by resilience, authenticity, and innovation, Pfeiffer is electrifying fans with his latest album, ‘You Can Do Better.’ With this album and his recent tour he continues to push boundaries and inspire audiences worldwide. Testament to this success is his fast-approaching milestone of 1 BILLION streams for Blacklite District’s catalog!!
Pfeiffer’s story is one of overcoming adversity and defying expectations. Early in his career, he made the life-changing decision to get clean and sober for his then eight-year-old son, breaking the cycle he witnessed as a child. He has consistently bucked industry trends, prioritizing genuine connection with his audience over traditional radio success. This commitment to authenticity has paid off, earning him four spots on the Billboard Top 40.
As SPIN Magazine aptly summed it up when naming him Artist of The Month, “At the end of the day, as with many an underdog before him, Kyle Pfeiffer’s life may have been marked by loss, but it will never be defined by it.” He is an anomaly in the music business, making the majority of his money in streaming, as opposed to tour and merch. This has given him the freedom to be at home and create as opposed to living on the road.
The new album, “You Can Do Better,” is a testament to Pfeiffer’s enduring talent and creativity. It features standout tracks like “I Try Today,” which has garnered over 1.2 million views on YouTube through a collaboration with Minecraft star Rainimator.

In a collaboration with Meta, his reel that celebrated the release of YOU CAN DO BETTER has topped 19.5 Million views to date.
Worldwide charting has been achieved for his latest album in Saudi Arabia (rock albums #191) and Poland (rock albums #110). Its single, “I Try Today” charted in Russia at #23 on the rock charts and the single “You Can Do Better” got on the Amazon Playlist FRESH ROCK in Germany.
