On this episode of The Royalty Room, LegalQueenLA sits down with a rising creative force who wears many hats—artist, chef, and relentless dreamer—known as Hxvik. At just 21 years old, Hxvik shares his story of navigating two demanding worlds: the heat of the kitchen and the fire of the recording booth. But beneath the grind and the glamour lies a deeper journey of self-discovery, healing, and resilience.

We explore the making of his new single "Like Me", a track that was born during a high-energy Undrgrnd Magazine writer's camp, fueled by spontaneity and a freestyle that left everyone speechless. Hxvik opens up about what the song really means—how it's more than just a catchy hook, but a reflection of the dualities he’s lived: ambition vs. burnout, connection vs. isolation, the thrill of attention vs. the struggle to stay grounded.

This episode is as much about the making of a song as it is about the making of a man. Hxvik talks about growing up in South Central, dropping out of music school during the pandemic, finding a new path through culinary arts, and the real mental toll of chasing success in a world driven by likes, views, and viral moments. We also dig into his thoughts on setting boundaries and the importance of protecting your mental health as a creative. If you've ever felt the pressure to perform for the algorithm, or lost yourself trying to be what the internet wants, this one’s for you.
