“I was super introverted. I didn’t want to raise my hand. Be vocal.”

With his ability to seamlessly blur the lines between pop, hip-hop, electronic and soul, Quinn XCII has quickly paved his own lane with his unique sound. An early mixtape release turned heads, but it was his debut EP Change of Scenery, released in 2015, that put Quinn XCII on the map, connecting with the blogosphere and snaring millions of online streams. A follow-up EP, 2016’s Bloom, cemented his ability to meld styles and write about more varied subject matter. Quinn XCII’s featured vocals on “Kings of Summer,” a collaboration with childhood friend and frequent collaborator, producer ayokay, reached #1 on Spotify’s Global Viral chart, accumulating over 60 million plays on the platform to date.

Quinn XCII’s debut album, The Story of Us, was released on September 15 via Columbia Records. The album peaked at #6 on the iTunes Pop Charts and is led by his rising single “Straightjacket,” which has accumulated more than 23 million streams on Spotify. After selling out his entire 28-city North American headline tour this Fall, he will kick off 2018 by touring the album throughout Europe and across North America again this Spring..
