With a father serving a life sentence and while growing up in one of Los Angeles’ most notoriously rough neighborhoods, Crenshaw bred artist Xian Bell developed an uncanny sound for music at an early age.
Forming like a diamond in the rough tumbling through hardship, Xian Bell’s pain in life polished his sound and drove his ambition for musical success. But for those that know Xian Bell and his music, know he has a comedic and raunchy side to his music, while also having the ability to address serious issues like death, drugs and self destruction.
That internal contradiction and deep roots in The District aptly yielded the title of his newest project, ContraDistrict, which is now available for fans after earning critical acclaim with a series of visuals and songs.
“The District is just one big ass contradiction but it all meshes perfectly into some dope sh*t. That’s exactly what I am – a big f*cked up contradiction that luckily turned out dope,” Xian Bell candidly.
Growing up in one of Los Angeles’ most notoriously rough neighborhoods and with a father serving a life sentence, Crenshaw bred artist XianBell flourished with unfavorable odds.
Persevering through scant odds and a rough upbringing, Xian Bell developed an feverish passion for creating for music at an early age. Inspired by seeing his older cousin find success with music on TV, Xian Bell knew music was his calling and it saved his life.
Forming like a diamond in the rough, Xian Bell’s ambition and hunger for musical success drove him to a sound that mixes rap and singing together.
