Draft:Lil Texas

Sam Barry (born March 6,1989 in Dallas) known professionally as Lil Texas, is an American musician, producer, and DJ.

Career
Barry's first EP, Talkin 2 U, was released in 2013. He is best known for the songs "Kamikaze (Vip)", "Rules of the Game", "Dreaming", and "Sucker Punch". He was also featured on "Sine From Above" by Lady Gaga and Elton John.

As of August 2023, Barry has roughly 315.9K monthly listeners on Spotify.

Style
Lil Texas is known for creating his own genre of music called "Texcore". Texcore has grown in popularity and has led to Lil Texas being a headliner at concerts and festivals such as Defqon.1, EDC, and Basscon. This new genre of music is similar to hardstyle and uptempo, however, it encompasses much higher BPMs, more "kicks", and rapid buildups. Texcore has also influenced other artists such as Vieze Asbak, Unicorn on Ketamine, Greazy Puzzy Fuckerz, and Kayzo.
