Skinny Living are a three-piece English indie soul band from Wakefield, West Yorkshire.[3] The band is made up of a blend of vocalists, songwriters and musicians; namely Ryan Johnston (vocals), Will Booth (guitar), and Danny Hepworth (guitar).[4]
The name Skinny Living 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.[5] The band signed to RCA Records in 2017, and then to Polydor in 2019. That same year saw them have their tracks featured on the likes of Clash Magazine,[6] play over 250 shows, as well as being selected to headline Live at Leeds.[7] In 2020 they were going to be touring with The Kaiser Chiefs, as well as headlining their own shows in London and Leeds.[8]
With over 60 million streams worldwide, Skinny Living had a hiatus in 2020, when they signed to Parlophone and released a side project in the form of an EP called "Textures" under the alias 'New Familiar'.[citation needed]
