At just 18 years old, Raven Lilith Carrillo, also known as VeucroX, is making her mark in experimental music one heartfelt beat at a time. With her unique, forward-thinking sound and strong determination, she has amassed 129k monthly listeners on Spotify. Her music captivates a diverse audience, from metal enthusiasts to rave culture fans, offering a listening experience like no other.
VeucroX’s early life was filled with hardship and trauma. Her childhood was marked by an abusive father, casting a shadow over her early years. “I always saw life as a gray-colored world where nothing could satisfy me enough to smile,” she confides. She faced bullying, struggled with anxiety and depression, and found it difficult to excel in school. However, at the age of 10, her life took a turn when she and her mother escaped her father’s abusive environment and found refuge with her grandparents. Enrolling in a new school in 2020, VeucroX’s life began to change in unexpected and transformative ways.
From that moment on, she embarked on a self-taught journey immersing herself in every aspect of music creation, mastering vocal techniques, recording, mixing, and producing. This relentless pursuit allowed her to collaborate with industry giants like EMPIRE, Sony, and Universal, and work alongside artists like kets4eki, Bibi Babydoll, and Nulteex. Her talent even caught the attention of renowned figures such as Marshmello, Lil Dusty G, and Tom The Mail Man.
Proving she is truly one of a kind in the music industry, VeucroX’s latest release, “Galaxia Distorcida,” a remix of “Funk Of Galáctico,” has already garnered over 15 million streams on Spotify. However, it’s her debut album, “THE CROX,” that truly showcases her depth and vulnerability. The album serves as a raw and honest narrative, chronicling the challenges she faced growing up, the loss of loved ones, and her battles with inner demons. Her music transcends mere sound, acting as a cathartic outlet for her anxieties and a source of energy for her listeners. As she shares:
“My music is a way to vent my bad emotions and anxiety and convert it into something positive and creative, it is about me doing whatever I want. I can drop a rock track, then a rave track, then a sad track. I don’t care.”
Beyond her music, VeucroX is making her mark in the industry by working on her own label, aiming to reshape the landscape and create opportunities for deserving artists. Despite her success, VeucroX remains grounded, acknowledging the challenges she’s faced. “I’ve had my share of setbacks—criticism, stolen opportunities, and betrayals—but I refuse to let them define me,” she asserts. These obstacles have only fueled her determination. With her sights set on becoming a top Spotify artist within the next five years, she believes this goal is attainable through hard work and her ability to connect with her audience on an emotional level.
