Between the ages of 9 to 20, what were you doing? Probably being a kid right or maybe at the latter parts, you were just getting on your grind about school, work, some side hustle, or maybe even music. Well, what if from the ages of 9 to 20 you actually did start making music, then you created a concept album all about the Zodiac star signs, and then you played some shows at EDC, you would probably think that either one that's impossible or two that's the most amazing thing in the world, right?! Well, what if I told you that it is possible and it actually did happen, but it wasn't the magical journey everyone thinks it is.
Hey, I'm Rob and I am the host of Take A Shot With Me. I have traveled the world, worked on radio stations, and managed artists, now I wanna interview some of the best new artists I like and drink with them!
On this week's episode of Take A Shot With Me, I sit down with Xan Griffin. Xan is a 20-year-old producer, vocalist, rapper, lyricist, and all-around artist. He started making music when he was 9 years old when his brother and dad got him interested in it. He started making EDM music, where he grew a large following and then created his concept album all around the Zodiac signs. Ever since those early days, Xan has tried to be an artist first and wanted his name at the forefront. The more he learned about production, the more he learned about his voice and what more he could do with it, he started to experiment. He started to create a completely different lane. As he states it, his music is like a box of chocolate, you never know what you are gonna get. In this episode, we chat about everything from his early years, to his time making EDM, to now. I get into how Xan thinks about music and what he wants to do in the future. I tried to make sure people learned as much as they can about one of the most intelligent people, I have met!
