The Yxng Skxng Interview

Yxng Skxng: The Rising Voice of Raw Emotion

Emerging from the UK music scene, Yxng Skxng is an artist carving out his own lane with a sound that blends raw emotion, real-life struggles, and high-energy influence. Currently in the midst of building his second album, a follow-up to his debut, he’s steadily growing his discography and refining his craft.

Music was always in his surroundings—his older brother played guitar, sparking his own passion for songwriting. By 2020, he started taking his music seriously, using it as an outlet for personal experiences. A large part of his music reflects his toxic love life, addictions, and love for money and designer fashion—themes that paint a vivid picture of his journey. His influences span from pop icons like Michael Jackson and Katy Perry to underground rap pioneers like Playboi Carti, Lil Uzi Vert, Travis Scott, Lil Skies, Killy, and the SoundCloud wave.

Yxng Skxng isn’t just making music—he’s living it. Recently experiencing life on and off the streets, struggling to find places to stay, he’s channeling those hardships into his next project, bringing a whole new level of substance and authenticity to his sound. As part of his album rollout, he’s preparing to go on tour later this year, marking a major milestone in his career.

His latest single, "Johnny Galindo," just dropped, setting the tone for what’s to come. With his unfiltered storytelling, diverse influences, and relentless drive, Yxng Skxng is proving that he’s an artist to watch—turning pain into power, one track at a time.
