MXZI gör phonk till en mainstreamsuccé

London-födde producenten och artisten MXZI har blivit en ledande figur inom phonk-genren. Han har uppnått över 1,7 miljarder streams och har mer än 16 miljoner lyssnare per månad på Spotify.

MXZI inledde sin musikaliska resa som tonåring genom att improvisera och köra beatbox innan han lärde sig musikproduktion på egen hand i FL Studio. Vid 18 års ålder lämnade han skolan för att satsa helhjärtat på musiken med stöd från sin farbror och mentor DKAYY. Denna vägledning hjälpte honom att utveckla sin egen phonk-stil, "Ladrão Style", tillsammans med tidiga samarbeten, däribland arbete med ATLXS.
