Quinn XCII is a Detroit-based vocalist and songwriter who fuses pop, hip-hop, reggae, and EDM into his own unique sound. His songs are typically about failed relationships and heartbreak, but they're often sung or rapped over bright, sunny backing tracks that partially disguise the melancholy sentiments of the lyrics. His debut full-length, The Story of Us, was released in late 2017, garnering significant buzz and reaching number 25 on Billboard's Top R&B Albums chart. It paved the way for 2019's From Michigan with Love and 2020's A Letter to My Younger Self, both of which charted on the Billboard 200. He further expanded his sound with 2021's ayokay-produced Change of Scenery II.
