It forces you to handle your business and make important changes in your life.  Bingx believes that his growth has helped him to mature personally as well as musically. ” My music represents all of the growth in me.

Bingx isn’t afraid to Tackle the Bullies

Before you made it to college, your high school most likely consisted of at least one bully. Or maybe you were the victim of bullying? Either way, Bingx wrote the song Bully to spread awareness about kids who are ill equipped to deal with their emotions.  “I have turrets, I was always an outcast for it. So I know what its like to feel pressured by those who think they are popular. Also, the mass school shootings became more relevant, so I wanted to make people aware of how easy it is for shootings to happen when someone feels bullied.”
