xs is a Malaysian singer-songwriter, creating witty, modern pop songs with a twist. She takes musical influences from various genres and artists, which will be later reflected in her works. Starting with classical background, she spent her early years listening to orchestral music and musicals, and received piano lessons and vocal training. In her teenage years, she took up pop singing and drum classes. She was also exposed more to jazz, R&B, hip hop, Latin, and electronic dance music later in college as well.
She began performing onstage at a young age. She was involved in singing and theatrical performances.
By the age of 21, xs started by posting professionally produced covers and mashups of international pop songs and musicals. She also enjoyed injecting her humour into songs by making parody covers where she creatively changed the lyrics to share current trending topics. Her videos have amassed more than 1.6 million views across the internet.
To pursue her music career, xs started writing her own originals in 2020. Later that year, she was signed with Flipside Productions and began working closely with renowned producer and music expert Hangi Tavakoli.
In 2021, she released her first three singles “One Last Time”, “Different Woman”, “Night Shift” and her debut album Good Girls Don’t Speak Their Minds. Despite being a pop album, some of the songs also draw influences from jazz, Latin, country and electronic. She is praised for her catchy hooks and narrative lyricism that takes inspiration from her personal experiences.
xs also uses her platform to advocate for female empowerment and celebrating who you are.
