Rising R&B Star 20XII Talks Rebirth, Bold Lyrics, and Her Empowering Journey on iHeart Radio

20XII—Formerly Madox Destyn—Shares Her Story of Resilience, Rebranding, and Growth Behind New Single ‘Talk My SHH’”

Emerging R&B sensation 20XII—formerly known as Madox Destyn—recently joined Vigilantes Radio Live on iHeart Radio for a powerful and inspiring interview. Reflecting on her extraordinary journey, she opened up about her transformation as an artist, her personal struggles, and the bold new energy fueling her music, including her latest single “Talk My SHH.”

At just 20 years old, 20XII has already been through a whirlwind career. She revealed how she almost gave up on her music this year, disheartened by the pressures of the industry. But with unwavering encouragement from her manager, Rob Terell, and her mother, she found the strength to keep going. Her new name—20XII—represents both her past and her rebirth: the year 2012 was when her journey began, and now, at 20, she’s stepping back into her power with renewed confidence and artistry.

In the interview, 20XII candidly discusses how early heartbreak and emotional struggles inspired her earlier, more somber songs. Now, she’s evolved—grounded, bold, and unapologetically herself. “Talk My SHH” is a testament to that growth: it’s fun, fearless, and confident, embodying her love for empowerment anthems. Inspired by icons like Stevie Wonder, who masterfully weaves emotion into every note, and Beyoncé, whose anthem “Diva” resonates deeply with her, 20XII channels that same powerful energy into her music.

She also spoke on the importance of collaboration and working with a team—finding joy in creating and letting loose with her artistry. Despite the challenges and chaos of the industry, she’s determined to stay true to herself, encouraging fans to embrace their own journeys with resilience and boldness.

Host Dini highlights the assertive and “boss-like” themes that run through her lyrics, perfectly matching her unapologetic spirit. For 20XII, it’s about inspiring fans to stand strong, live boldly, and never give up—no matter what life throws at them.
