Skinny Living’s story is one of struggle, troubling situations and relentless hard graft. It’s also
one of synchronicity, chance meetings, and the unflinching belief that their glorious indie
soul music will reach the audience it deserves. Their potential is there to see. Echoing Bill
Withers, The Isley Brothers and Paolo Nutini, their songs shimmer with a timeless, gentle
beauty, exquisite vocal harmonies and a lyrical wisdom that inspires optimism and reflection
in equal measure.
The bands sound is defined by two acoustic guitars and vocal harmonies delivered by
Wakefield natives Will Booth and Danny Hepworth, while the exquisite and ever-so-slightly
haunted vocal and lyricism in the midst of it all belongs to front man Ryan Johnston, born in
Belfast to a Catholic mother from the Republican area and a Protestant father from the other
side of town. Their polar opposite backgrounds meant a family move to Bangor before Ryan
later moved to England, where he met Will and Danny at an open mic night and formed the
band.
Skinny Living released their highly anticipated album “Day By Day” in 2024, which quickly
shot to #1 on the UK Independent Albums Chart and landed at #24 on the Official Albums
Chart. Active since 2014, the band has accumulated over 60 million streams worldwide,
building a loyal fanbase without having released a full studio album until now. With “Day
By Day”, they’re ready to take their career to new heights.
The band recently shared the meaning behind their name, which is apt given their songs are
often full of big dreams from a modest background: “Skinny Living is a term that describes
the financial reality and lifestyle of the working class. Hard graft on a low income with a lust
for life, passion for family and an optimistic attitude about the future.’
