Career

edit

Everett released the 'Still Sound' mixtape in 2011. The next year at 16 years of age he would release his self-titled album, which included the hit 'About You' and gained him prominence within the indie music culture in late 2013.[1][3][4][5]

Everett has remixed for artists such as Tinashe and Usher.[6][7][8] In 2014, he created the song "What We Want" for the video game Grand Theft Auto V. This song was included for the expanded soundtrack that was a part of the re-release of the game on PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4 systems.[9] He headlined the San Francisco Noise Pop Festival in February 2013.[4][10]

In 2015, Everett released the single "Red",[11] about which he commented that "I was trying to express a feeling, and I got that more effectively".[5]

He spent the majority of 2016 touring the U.S., playing notable festival gigs such as Shambhala Festival,[12] Beach Goth,[13] Mysteryland, and Ancient Future. He was also credited on Tory Lanez's 2016 single "Flex", featured on his album I Told You. [14]

Samples from XXYYXX's tracks have been utilized by artists such as Chance the Rapper and SZA, and in 2017 Everett began producing additional music once more.[15]
