Born in the vibrant city of Las Vegas, Nevada, SKARS, formerly known as Big Steppa Drew, is making waves in the music industry with his new and improved sound and compelling lyrics. However, his journey to music stardom is as intriguing as his music. Initially, SKARS had a different passion – tennis. He was a top-ranked junior tennis player, even holding the prestigious title of number one in the nation for boys 12u tennis. However, his heart always belonged to music. As a kid, he was drawn to singing and had a deep love for music, setting the stage for his transition from the tennis court to the recording studio.
He embarked on his musical journey at the age of 13, inspired by a close friend who was already making music. Recognizing SKARS‘ passion and potential, the friend encouraged him to start recording and the young artist began to follow his true calling. SKARS draws inspiration from iconic artists like Kurt Cobain, The Weeknd, and xxxtentacion. He is particularly inspired by Kurt Cobain’s unique and raw expression of emotions through his music. His goal as an artist is to create music that resonates with people who may feel alone or in pain, letting them know that they are not alone in their struggles. He wants to spread peace, love, positivity, and motivation to the world.
Currently, SKARS is working on and releasing new music constantly, he just dropped a new song in “Stuck in the Cycle” and is also set to release his first album later this month titled “Nothing Lasts Forever” on November 24th, which will later be followed by his second album. SKARS is a talented individual with a bright future ahead of him, be sure to stay up to date with the young phenom and check out his music below.
