Fresh from securing a top 10 single on Tik Tok’s Music Chart, rising genre-bending prodigy Fixupboy returns with his vibrant new single ‘Anime Girl’. Over the years he has risen throughout the ranks of the emo-trap Soundcloud wave and now strives to cement himself as a leader in the new age internet culture, marrying different genres and cultures throughout his music. 

‘Anime Girl’, is not only about Fixupboy’s love for anime and the stories within, but it’s also about being vulnerable and unapologetically proud of what makes you unique. He stays true to his emo-trap background with transparent and emotive lyrics, but through plucked guitar lines and catchy melodies his indie-pop inspiration comes to the fore.
