Syxxkava

At just 18 years old, Syxxkava is quickly becoming one of Milwaukee’s most exciting young artists. His journey began with a love for live performance, sparked by his dad showing him concert videos of legendary ’80s bands like Iron Maiden and Mötley Crüe. Those moments opened his eyes to the power of music—not just as sound, but as energy, connection, and storytelling. That early spark evolved into a creative fire that drives him to this day.

Winning Equal2Nun’s SongWars marked a major milestone in Syxxkava’s career, solidifying him as an artist to watch in the Midwest scene. His sound fuses the rawness of rock with the emotion and experimentation of modern trap, creating a lane uniquely his own. He dreams of performing on massive stages, looking out at a crowd that feels every word, every note, and every ounce of passion he puts into his craft. Influenced by names like Nikki Sixx, Josh Dun, 1nonly, 2hollis, Burberry Erry, and Playboi Carti, Syxxkava draws inspiration from both rock icons and underground innovators. Even those who doubt him fuel his motivation, as he continues to turn criticism into creativity. Beneath the confidence, though, lies a constant battle with self-doubt—a struggle familiar to many artists still finding their place.

What makes Syxxkava stand out isn’t just his talent, but his resilience. He understands that greatness doesn’t come overnight, and that every step, from local competitions to studio sessions, shapes who he’s becoming. With his passion, vision, and refusal to give up, Syxxkava is proving that the underdog story is alive and well—and he’s writing his own version one performance at a time.
