Lil Texas is quite the unique artist; a hardcore cowboy hailing from the United States. “I’m a Nü- Metal enthusiast, I love terrible reality TV, Paris Hilton, rhinestones, horror movies, hardcore, uptempo, rawstyle, and terror of all varieties. I think I’m unique because I do whatever I want and that’s my policy! No way to progress things by doing the same thing other people are doing.”

“I’ve been working my ass off to be the new ambassador of American Hardcore”

The hardcore DJ started his musical career a little over a year ago, after he was getting bored with the American EDM scene. “I’ve always been listening to hardcore and needed a change career and brand wise. I decided to take a risk and start making 200 BPM hardcore in my own way and it caught on!” Artists like Porter Robinson, Valentino Khan and Marshmello played his tracks, and after that he knew for sure hardcore was calling his name. ‘Sucker Punch’, The Block‘ and ‘Hardcore Heartbreak’ are only a few of the American explosions that followed.
