If you are looking for golden treasure in the Hip Hop and Rap game, XMarz is the kind of artist that is setting a very high bar. Hailing from the military town of Killeen, Texas, he has been marching to the beat of his own drum since the age of nine. With over 150,000 streams on Spotify alone, he has been making his mark on the scene for over 5 years now and undoubtedly releasing tracks that attract a wave of listeners to his musical identity. A Rapper and Songwriter who has that innate ability to tell stories with impassioned ease, his musical journey began with the piano before migrating to writing lyrics at the age of 12. Since that time, he has been constantly devoted to making the kind of songs that blend attitude, beats and his own personal truths.
