Los Angeles and Australia lie thousands of miles apart, yet the Sydney-born producer MXXWLL more than embodies the California love. As a solo musician and multi-instrumentalist MXXWLL finds his inspirations in the G-Funk haze of LA, the glory years of West Coast hip-hop and more than a touch of J Dilla’s studio magic for good measure. Armed with a synthesiser and an ability to make your head bounce MXXWLL’s talents have found admiration in some of the greatest names in the business, from Snoop Dogg and DJ Jazzy Jeff to Ty Dolla $ign and J Cole. For most artists their career begins with a hit record, a memorable performance or a big budget promotional campaign. But MXXWLL does things a little differently. Back in December of 2014 MXXWLL uploaded his first jam session video to Facebook, a 37-second long handheld recording filmed on his mobile phone. Later, with every video he posted from his homemade studio views began to peak the thousands, then the millions. MXXWLL quickly earned himself legions of fans worldwide, all glued to the image of him busting out impromptu slow jams and Warren G-era medleys on his vast collection of MOOG synthesisers and vintage drum machines. For the audiences at home MXXWLL’s swift rise to prominence looks effortless, almost too easy given his masterful musical prowess. Yet as a self-taught multi-instrumentalist from an early age MXXWLL as we know him today has been years in the making.
