Mcxxne

WHO?

Singer-songwriter Mcxxne, hailing from Newcastle, describes herself as a “big town girl making it out of a small city”—and she’s doing just that, fast becoming one of the UK’s most exciting emerging voices. Blending smooth R&B with the vibrant rhythms of amapiano and Afro-infused beats, her music reflects her multicultural identity, drawing from her Newcastle upbringing and Ndebele Zimbabwean heritage.

Inspired by musical greats like Lauryn Hill, Rihanna, Raye, and Ayra Starr, Mcxxne’s sound is both fresh and familiar—emotive, catchy, and deeply relatable. Tracks like ‘Energy’, ‘Be Still’, and her upcoming release ‘Show Me Your Love’ showcases her lyrical vulnerability, compelling vocals, and genre-blending style.

Mcxxne’s talent hasn’t gone unnoticed. She’s earned major support from BBC platforms, including BBC Radio 1’s Jess Iszatt, BBC 1Xtra’s Theo Johnson, and BBC Introducing. Named a BBC 1Xtra Introducing One To Watch 2025, she’s also been spotlighted by tastemakers at DMY and beyond. On stage, she continues to grow her presence—performing at the MOBO Fringe Festival 2025, and joining DJ Ace’s ERNB New Wave UK Tour.

A regular on Newcastle’s live circuit and steadily building a loyal following, Mcxxne is poised for a breakout year. With a distinctive sound, authentic voice, and growing national profile, she’s ready to captivate audiences around the world
