He rose to fame in 2016, after releasing his debut set of songs “GITGO”. He cemented his status of a new name in hip hop industry several months later, after the presentation of his hit “Betrayed”. He recorded his debut studio album “Total Xanarchy” in spring, 2018 and it reached the 10th position in Billboard Hot 200 chart. But how did he start his way on top?
Nicholas Diego Leanos (the artist’s real name) entered this world on September 6, 1996. His parents were not rich, so the boy spent most of his early years in the rooms of low-cost motels. He was educated at East Valley High School, located in Redlands, but he dropped out his studying at the age of 15. Diego wasn’t interested in getting the education or working, most of the time he spent at home, using drugs. Later he found a low-paid job of a street cleaner and to make the ends meet, sold forbidden medications. He saved some cash and bought a camera. After that Lil Xan got an opportunity to earn some cash as a photographer. He made pictures of his friends, some of which were trying to make a career in the hip hop industry. Thus, he first became interested in rap.
One day his camera was stolen, and Lil Xan felt frustrated. But as it turned out later, it was a great event in his life. Diego decided to record several tracks and upload them to SoundCloud. He planned to make some profit from his songs and to save money for another camera. But his tracks became so popular, that the ambitious teen decided to become a full-time hip hop artist.
He chose “Xan” as his stage moniker. The resounding word has quite a contradictory meaning – it’s the short form of the word “Xanax”, a hard drug. The singer got used to this medication and during 2 years he took it almost every day. In November 2018 he went on rehab to quit his bad habits. The rapper was impressed by the death of his two friends, caused by overdose.
Now he stays sober and inspired his numerous fans to follow his example. Lil Xan has a great impact on his peers – millions of followers read and re-read each his post on Instagram, thousands of them follow his updates on Facebook. Lil Xan has lots of plans for the development of his career; so hopefully, we’ll hear more of his hard beats in the nearest future.
