$kin Up – American singer-songwriter / rapper. Born in Nashville and raised in Atlanta, $kin Up is the product of two worlds—Southern melodies and trap-heavy beats, raw emotion and heavy-hitting energy. His sound isn’t built to fit in; it’s built to hit different.
Before the music took over, he was a content creator, getting his first check from YouTube. But music was always calling. From being first chair trumpet in middle school to singing in chorus all through high school, he was locked in early. In high school, he started making his own music, and after graduation, there was no turning back.
He gave college a shot, but while he was supposed to be in class, he was making music. So he dropped out and went all in, working at Astro Studios in Atlanta, grinding to perfect his craft. From performing in underground clubs to tearing up stages at Digital Madhouse Boutique, to planning his own tour USA. $kin Up has built his name from the ground up.
Now, with his latest track “Autopilot” out and more on the way, this is just the beginning. The music, the movement, the energy—it’s all building.
