His new EP, MARAVILLA speaks about everything the Bronx artist has gone through in the last year and channels his inner thoughts and experiences he’s had. Each song on the EP presents a different vibe and mood just as life has been recently for the artist. 

“HXTRA was inspired by King Midas and his daughter Marigold, which translates to Maravilla in Spanish, and means “the golden child.” The main single of the EP speaks about having the Midas touch, hence “MARAVILLA.”

HXTRA is an ambitious artist who looks to accomplish several goals such as hitting 1 million streams and moving his family into a nice mansion.

The artist explained that one of his defining moments was performing his single “Hoes Understand Me” and the whole crowd said, “Why do only hoes understand me?”. From his music, HXTRA wants fans to have fun and be themselves.

HXTRA’s music is a combination of several different vibes and moods, reflecting the artist’s experiences in the last year. It has a club-like atmosphere, with a mix of love and toxicity, making you want to dance and feel like you’re in a movie.

HXTRA’s music is inspired by his love for music, which he has had since childhood. He grew up singing and writing raps with his friends and was never afraid of the spotlight. His parents, both singers and musicians, also played a major role in his musical journey and served as a major source of inspiration for him.

For those who are listening to HXTRA for the first time, the artist suggests starting with “Hoes Understand Me” or “Stripper Snow Angel.” The artist’s influences include Chris Brown, Future, Michael Jackson, Justin Timberlake, Lil Wayne, Eminem, 50 Cent, Big Pun, Biggie Smalls, and Ten$e. These artists have shaped HXTRA’s sound and helped him to develop his unique style, which is a mix of R&B, hip-hop, and pop.

The artist is currently focused on making good music and finishing videos for the EP. He hopes his fans will take away a message of being themselves and having fun. You can follow HXTRA on Instagram.
