A biography for Lil Xanhasn’t been written yet.
“I love my fans to death.”
“All those haters, they don't understand my music. It's very unique. And I don't blame them. Hate my music. But my real cult fanbase, they like the music.”
“I've got so much to show the world.”
“Performing is the one time I don't have anxiety - surprisingly, right?”
“I like playful beats, xylophones, whimsical sounds of Bobby Johnson productions.”
“I got anxiety in April of 2014. I was hospitalized for two weeks, and they didn't know what was wrong with me, and at the end, they gave me a low dosage of Xanax. Before the whole anti-Xanax message in what I do, I was actually pro-Xanax culture.”
“I failed every class up until I dropped out freshman year.”
“I've never heard anything like 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not.' The Arctic Monkeys are my favorite band, and that is my favorite album.”
“I'm going to keep evolving and evolving and showing people that progression is key when it comes to music.”
“The Internet is a big reason I've been successful so far. It's working for a lot of new wave artists, which I consider myself a part of.”
“Rapping was a joke, but the music helped me break out of my shell.”
“I want to have a storefront here in Los Angeles. I want people to be able to come here and connect - not just with me, but with each other.”
“I always have been very musically influenced because of my dad. He had a very big record collection, so I dabbled in different genres.”
“One of my biggest influences is Mac Miller, so to follow in his footsteps would be incredible. He's definitely a big inspiration to me.”
“I can't tie my shoes. So many people have tried to teach me, but it's one of those things where I physically can't learn. I don't know why.”
“If you were following me since the beginning, you see my journey.”
“We really need to listen to women more. All of us.”
“Tupac is definitely a legend.”
“I always thought backpack swag was cool, but the more I do it, the more it is in light of Mac Miller.”
“It gets better: there's a light at the end of the tunnel. It may take one day, it may take ten years. But one day, you will find happiness if you manifest it. Put that energy out, and it'll come back.”
