Larry Kiala, better known by his stage name Yxng Bane, (pronounced "young bane", born 12 April 1996) is an English singer and rapper, from East London.[1]

Early life

Bane grew up in Custom House, an industrial district of East London's Canning Town neighborhood.[2] His mother is Congolese and his father is Angolan.[3] He has five siblings. He went to Eastlea Community School in Canning Town and later attended college in Grays, Essex.

Career

Yxng Bane started his musical career in 2015, by uploading songs onto his SoundCloud account.[4] In January 2016, he released his debute EP, Full Moon.[5] In January 2017, Bane was featured on a remix of Ed Sheeran's hit single "Shape of You".[4] In June 2017, he was featured on the single "Bestie" by rapper Yungen, which peaked at number 10 on the UK Singles Chart.[6]

Artistry

Bane has cited Michael Jackson, Drake, Future, PartyNextDoor, 50 Cent, Tinie Tempah and Wizkid as his influences.[4] While talking about his musical style in an interview with Billboard, he said; "In terms of music and artistry, I'm an artist who doesn't belong to a genre. I express myself however I need to express myself. Whether I need to rap about it or sing about it, however I need to deliver the message, it will be delivered. In terms of genre, I think – no, it's not "I think." I know I don't belong to any genre because, for example, I'll the "Rihanna," which is a slow, afro-swing vibe and then I go and do "Froze," which is more the trap sound – more U.K. drill sound. So it's more about however I need to express it rather than belonging to a genre. It's more – I'm diverse."[7]
