As a young boy Houston grew up in an international church in Slough where his mother encouraged him to take part in the choir; although his confidence in singing back then was minimal, he found himself sitting at the back and observing. This is where he found a fascination and underlying talent for melody – he’d hum under his breath to the traditional choir ballads and create contemporary melodies that aligned with the current music climate and his interest in grime music. At this time, UK legends like Snap Capone, Ghetts and 67 were his music library and it wasn’t until his best friend at University started putting him onto the new wave of trap, his life changed. Growing up in Slough where uniqueness was scarce, his friend opened up to a world he wasn’t used to; Future, Lil Uzi Vert, Playboy Carti were then his daily soundtrack and go-to’s for inspiration, and then he heard the kings of individuality Kid Cudi and Travis Scott.

With previous tracks picking up support from various industry moguls, a Highsnobiety premiere and BBC 1Xtra premiere all under his belt, as well as backing from all specialist radio stations (just in the first few months of seriously making music) as well as rapidly picking up fans and more of a cult following at every single performance he does, the future is looking abundant for X.
