Skinny Living are a UK alt-soul act defined by emotional truth, soaring harmonies and a quietly commanding live presence. With over 90 million global streams and a UK No.1 Independent Album (Day By Day, 2024), they’ve built their audience the long way — through word-of-mouth, relentless touring and an unwavering commitment to creative independence.

Formed after a chance meeting at an open mic night in Wakefield, the band’s foundation rests on connection and craft rather than spectacle. Fronted by Belfast-born Ryan Johnston, whose voice carries both vulnerability and authority, and anchored by Danny Hepworth’s textured guitar work and vocal harmonies, Skinny Living blend soul, indie and contemporary grit into songs that feel intimate yet expansive.

Their sound draws from the lineage of classic soul and singer-songwriter storytelling, but it’s their restraint that defines them. Rather than chase trends, Skinny Living favour depth over noise — writing songs about love, resilience, doubt and redemption with a clarity that cuts through.

On stage, that emotional precision translates into performances that feel unfiltered and deeply human. No theatrics. No excess. Just songs built to hold a room.

After a decade of steady growth and uncompromising evolution, Skinny Living stand as proof that longevity can be earned without surrendering identity — creating music that lingers long after the last note fades.
