Musician

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 actually always wanted to end up somewhere in music, I just didn't know what.

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.

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.

Anime is something I loved to watch as a kid.

I just wanted to be creative, so I did photography, and that led me ultimately to music.

We really need to listen to women more. All of us.

I'm an open book.

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 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.

Rapping was a joke, but the music helped me break out of my shell.

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.

I wasn't rapping and freestyling in high school. I wasn't telling people I was gonna be a rapper when I was a little kid. It wasn't set in stone that it was my dream.

I wanna be more of a pop public figure, iconic kinda dude.

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 wake up, usually start my day off with some very unhealthy McDonald's.

I like playful beats, xylophones, whimsical sounds of Bobby Johnson productions.

I know there are people who are praying for my downfall, but they're going to be like, 'Wow, Xan's actually an artist.'
