Early Life
Lil Xan was born Nicholas Diego Leanos on September 6, 1996, in Redlands, California.
He has spoken openly about growing up in financial hardship, with his family spending periods living in motels. After leaving Redlands East Valley High School during his freshman year, he worked various jobs, including street cleaning, while trying to find a career path.
Initially, Leanos wanted to become a photographer, but after his camera was stolen, he shifted his focus to music. He began uploading songs to SoundCloud and YouTube, adopting the stage name Lil Xan, which referenced the prescription drug Xanax—a name he would later express mixed feelings about as he advocated against drug abuse.

His debut album, “Total Xanarchy,” arrived in 2018 and included several singles such as:
- Betrayed
- Slingshot
- Far
- Wake Up
- Color Blind
While critics were divided on the project, it performed well commercially and established Lil Xan as a recognizable figure in modern hip-hop.
Beyond his debut album, he has released several EPs and mixtapes, including:
- Toothache
- Xanarchy
- Xanarchy Militia
- Fireworks

Throughout his career, he has also released numerous standalone singles and collaborated with a variety of artists.

- Mumble rap
He has cited artists such as Drake, Pharrell Williams, Mac Miller, and N.E.R.D. among his musical influences. Outside hip-hop, he has also credited rock bands including Arctic Monkeys, Queens of the Stone Age, and Cage the Elephant with shaping his sound.
Personal Life
Lil Xan’s personal life has frequently attracted public attention.
In 2018, he dated singer Noah Cyrus, and the pair released the collaboration “Live or Die.” Their relationship ended later that year amid public allegations of infidelity.
He later became engaged to Annie Smith, though their relationship ended following controversy surrounding a publicly announced pregnancy that did not result in a birth.
Lil Xan has also been candid about his past struggles with addiction to Xanax and other prescription drugs. He has said he eventually overcame those addictions and has spoken publicly about the dangers of substance abuse, even considering changing his stage name to distance himself from drug culture.
