Some people were just born to be artists, and Mahogany LOX certainly falls under that category. As the sister to Sky Blu and niece to Red Foo of LMFAO, and granddaughter of founder of Motown Records Berry Gordy, it’s no surprise that Mahogany LOX has found many outlets for creativity, including DJing, modeling, acting and of course, creating music.
Mahogany has taken a more hip-hop / pop route with her recent music, with 2019’s “Take Your Man” and her most recent single, “Sike,” and she’s not showing signs of slowing down anytime soon. With more new music slated to release soon, this won’t be the last time you head Mahogany’s name this year. Get to know a little bit more about her and listen to “Sike” now below!
Can you tell us a little bit about yourself for anyone who might be hearing you for the first time?
Hi, I’m Mahogany LOX. I sing, rap, and DJ! I would describe my sound as sassy and happy with some hip hop splashed in.
You grew up in a very musical and artistic household, and it definitely shows with all of your different creative outlets, from acting and modeling to DJing and singing. How do you feel your upbringing helped shape you into the artist that you are today?
My upbringing definitely molded me into who I am, I get so much inspiration from my family and I’m so thankful for them.
You had a very busy year last year and just last month, kicked off 2020 with the release of your new single, “Sike.” Can you tell us a little bit about the track? What inspired it?
“Sike” was inspired by the feeling you get when a negative comment gets you down! I really want the person who’s singing “Sike” to sing it to themselves and feel confident!
The “Sike” track showcases my two musical personalities. The crying verses represents my vulnerable self. My rap verses display my confident self.
What would you like for fans to take away from “Sike”?
I would like my LOXSmiths to take away that they’re beautiful and special… no matter what negative comments comes their way.
With “Sike” and “Take Your Man” out now, can fans expect to hear any more new music soon?
Absolutely!!! I have so much more music just waiting to come out… I can’t wait for y’all to hear it.
The COVID-19 situation has had a massive impact on the music industry on many levels and has left a lot of people stuck at home. How has it affected you? Have you been able to use some of this time at home to create or write at all?
Covid -19 has definitely changed a lot of my plans such as music videos and studio session, but luckily, I’ve been able to stay creative at home and continue writing!
Do you have any other big plans or goals for the rest of 2020?
Yes! I would love to start touring and start collaborating with other artists! That would be amazing!
Thank you for taking the time to chat with us! Is there anything else you’d like to add?
Thank you for having me! I hope you and all your loved ones are staying safe during this time!
