We had the pleasure of interviewing XTIE over Zoom video! The vulnerability XTIE showcases through her songwriting on "Skin" emulates a message worth embracing. ""Skin" is a very important song that contributes to my artistic journey, and because of that I've chosen to partner with a Nonprofit [Body Banter] to further bring out the social initiative. In the past, I've never shown my skin condition in interviews, but I've recently freed myself from my body image issues after being mocked about my skin condition and looking "underweight" during my teenage years. The production of "Skin" explores very relevant and important topics for today's young people: body image disorders, the link between social media and body image, as well as physical and mental health. XTIE's high register resounds on a confessional bridge before the hook's affirmation; "Fighting all of my insecurities. Stop judging me by looking at my skin. I just wanna lift up my chin. Telling me there's a world to win." Through the power of performing arts, XTIE and Emily have incorporated their own experiences of having body image issues into this video, since it's a very unique perspective that can truly resonate with. This is showcased through the choreography style; using moves to emulate things like having habits affecting body language, squinting in the mirror when trying on clothes to "block out" eczema, excessive picking, etc.Hailing from Hong Kong, XTIE is an independent artist that self-produces, writes, arranges, and performs her own songs. Already having garnered support from
Earmilk, Billboard ID,
MTV Asia, BBC Radio, and more. Her singles "Spaceship", "frenemy" peaked No.1 on the RTHK Global chart.
MTV Asia praised XTIE stating; "Not only gifted with warm jazz-tinged vocals, she also writes, arranges, produces, and performs her songs that are shimmering."
Earmilk raved about her previous release; "XTIE continues to set herself up as a promising talent in the industry with her flair for transportive productions." Apart from her releases as an artist, her production credits include stellar-level acts and TV shows from Hong Kong, including but not limited to: Janice Vidal, Alfred Hui, ViuTV King Maker IV, (a girl group idol competition) etc. XTIE is also currently writing and producing for A-Pop / K-pop markets as well.
