HCM. How did you come by your stage name?
X.U.L. X.U.L is actually to remind my son that he is always loved, his name is Xander (Xander. Ur. Loved).
HCM. When did you discover your love for music and what made you realize you wanted to pursue a career in music?
X.U.L. I’m actually from the Dominican Republic, at the age of 6 my aunt gave me a toy piano which I still have and I play on it from time to time and that made me follow the music dream, she always said “making music should always be fun”, so I followed that path, I actually started making music in Spanish before moving to the states at 18.
HCM. On your current/upcoming album… How did you come up with the concept for this project?
X.U.L. So “Change Your Life”, I made that song late at night which is the time I like to make music, I had made a beat with the Miami summer type vibe then sent it to my friend Jeff Stones which said he wanted to hop on it and we made it happen. I got another song coming before I start focusing on a bigger project but that’s for another time “winky face”
HCM. What impression would you like listeners to be left with after hearing your music?
X.U.L. I wanted to feel welcome, to be able to relate and have fun while listening to my music, that’s why I make music for everyone’s enjoyment but like my aunt said “Music should always be fun.”
HCM. Is there anyone you’d like to thank, any shout outs?
X.U.L. I would like to thank my friend, my partner, and the best man out there Dee Wile for the opportunity he gave me early one on that first beat I sent him for his song Free Game, shoutout #F2. I’d like to thank my mom and my fiance for always pushing me to be better and a big thank you to everyone that has and will listen to my music for lending me your ears to hear some good, chill vibes from me, also check out “Demon Mode” on 01/22/21.
