Bionic Buzz® interviewed rising alt-pop artist $kin Up over Zoom. During the interview, we discussed where his passion for music began, his latest single I Feel Ready, and the experience of shooting its music video around Los Angeles, including on the Paramount Pictures Studios lot. $kin Up also shared what it was like performing at the legendary Viper Room on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood as part of the Punk Kid Tour.
In addition, he revealed that new music is currently in the works for 2026, giving fans plenty to look forward to as his momentum continues to build.
“I Feel Ready,” finds the artist taking a more delicate and introspective turn. The low-tempo, emotionally charged track captures the feeling of stepping in to a new relationship that feels straight out of a movie, showcasing his versatility as both a songwriter and performer. Softly layered guitars build a mellow, cinematic soundscape as he proclaims: “You’re all I ever need.
Hailing from Atlanta, $kin Up is a growing force in the alternative scene. Blending rock-fueled party energy with rap and pop influences, he’s crafted a sound that’s distinctly his own, built for a new generation unafraid to go against the grain. His debut single “X Rated” sparked early momentum, followed by “Punk Kid,” a standout track that highlights his fearless approach to genre-blending. His first release of 2025, “Autopilot,” further cements his reputation as a musical chameleon, fusing darkwave-inspired guitars and drums with moody, grungy vocals. This track, along with “I Feel Ready,” fueled momentum for his 2025 Punk Kid tour and will continue to accelerate him into an exciting 2026.
