Alright – so today we’ve got the honor of introducing you to Rxbyn. We think you’ll enjoy our conversation, we’ve shared it below.

Rxbyn, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Can you talk to us about a project that’s meant a lot to you?

The most meaningful project I’ve worked on thus far is one no one has heard yet. Back in February 2022, I released my latest EP, ‘i-motions’. It’s a five track EP that goes over a few of the most impactful emotional states and experiences I went through while making the EP: going through quarantine, trying to adjust to a new way of making my dreams a reality, and keeping my personal life in tact.

To explain a bit further, I was in the middle of a huge transitional period in my life at the time. I had gone from living with my family in mid-2019, to staying with a friend and business partner for an extended period of time to experience growth, and build upon my craft in the music industry. Of course, with that move, came quite a few personal realizations that I had to come to terms with, and handle accordingly. While tackling the issues that ultimately led to my growth, I experienced depression and went through a lot of instances where I was questioning the motives of everyone around me. Prior to that experience, I was extremely comfortable with being the only person 100% behind my craft. From the presentation, to the production and even the way I marketed my records, was all me. While I took pride in that fact in my earlier years (and even now to a degree), I realized that over independence was something I had to break; as I found people that were genuinely interested in helping and seeing me grow.

Now, looking back, I question why I ever felt that way about help towards my career. I wasn’t sure if I felt that way simply because I was used to filling every position that I needed in my past endeavors, or if I was feeling the energy of some of the people I was surrounded by.
Nevertheless, upon leaving that situation at the end of 2021, I had a full arsenal of self realization after having to finally confront my past and current personal life. It was as if everything I put on hold to continue my musical journey came back banging at my door with a vengeance in the middle of the night! I had so many personal things I had to go through, and still am going through, to make sense of the last few years as well as my life as a whole.

I have been slowly writing and crafting my newest album based on all of this. Without revealing too much, I am still working hard on my EP. I’ve got a couple of videos to film, and some press runs to do, etc. but this new album I’ve been writing for the past few months is definitely the one that I think is the most meaningful. The ability to be self aware, to take your experiences and make sense of them enough to communicate them artistically, is a very hard thing to do. But I love every second of it! I’m blessed and don’t ever want to forget that! I can’t wait for the future, and to share the lessons I’ve learned, though I am definitely not rushing it.

Rxbyn, before we move on to more of these sorts of questions, can you take some time to bring our readers up to speed on you and what you do?

I am Rxbyn (pronounced “Robin”), an independent artist and entrepreneur who writes, records, engineers, produces, mixes, photographs, film, market and design all of my own music and supporting content as well as handling all of the business aspects of my craft as well. I try to ensure that when it comes to my art, if need be, I can do it all. Rxbyn is a business in which I make it my mission to supply my audience with relatable, honest and exciting storytelling content through the form of music and more. I really enjoy creating an experience with my art and sharing that is one of my biggest joys. It is through this that I have also had the pleasure of working with many other talented and hardworking artists. You can find my music on any platform you enjoy your music and visual content now!

What do you find most rewarding about being a creative?

I’d have to say it’s seeing the creation come to life! And I mean that in all ways. From the building of the music in the studio or bedroom or wherever, to the filming of the videos, and finally releasing the art and seeing the life the outside world gives to the project. When I released my latest single, ‘antisocial’, I was so particular in my vision and how I wanted it. But once I released the music video, and saw how everyone was receiving it as opposed to how I even thought of it, I was so much more inspired, proud, and grateful. It’s truly an exhilarating feeling!

Are there any resources you wish you knew about earlier in your creative journey?

Yes! Most definitely! I try not to beat myself up too much about the things I didn’t know in my past, but I often fantasize about what it would be like. An example is my management assistance company, Kandid Konnections LLC. As someone who was so used to doing everything on his own, essentially being his own manager for so many years, finding proper help to do what I wanted to do without stifling my creativity or limiting it in any way was extremely important! They’ve done such an amazing job throughout the rollout of this record. Helping me navigate my ideas, put them to use, and bring them to life efficiently! I’ve never had the luxury of knowing work for my music, my love, was getting done while I was able to live my life and be the artist I wanted to be. It’s a weight off of my shoulders! Definitely a must if you are the kind of artist/business owner etc. who would benefit from being able to experience life, so you can create your best, and have peace of mind knowing business is being handled. It’s a learning process for sure, but I’m really enjoying it. With that, I’ll say to anyone to take the help they can find if it feels genuine and right for you! You can do it all and still not do it ALL!
