The band's 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 have been active since 2014. In that time they have amassed over 75 million streams world wide without releasing a full studio album, however the trio are now on course to release their Debut Album in 2024.
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.”
