XXLTARIK is a genre-bending Moroccan-American singer, songwriter, and performer blending dark R&B, moody pop, and retro funk with raw emotion and hypnotic stage energy.

 

Based in Jersey, XXLTARIK is known for his piercing falsetto, raw lyrics, and live shows that are more like an experience—evoking comparisons to icons like Prince, The Weeknd, and Michael Jackson, & James Brown.

 

His sound fuses sensual slow jams with synth-heavy club bangers, exploring themes of modern love, obsession, desire, heartbreak, and nightlife psychology. Songs like “PLOTTIN,” and “MIA” pull listeners into a late-night world of vulnerability, lust, pain—where every beat tells a story.

 

XXLTARIK is equal parts cinematic, sexy, and as real and relatable as it gets. For fans of dark pop, 80s synth, alternative R&B, and unforgettable performance art—XXLTARIK is a name to watch.
