Skinny Living are a three-piece English indie-soul band from Wakefield, West Yorkshire.[4] The band is made up of guitarist Will Booth, Belfast-born vocalist[5] Ryan Johnston and guitarist Danny Hepworth.[6]
The name Skinny Living describes the financial reality and lifestyle of the working class – hard graft on a low income with a lust for life, passion for family and an optimistic attitude about the future.[7] The band signed to RCA Records in 2017, and then to Polydor in 2019. That same year saw them have their tracks featured on the likes of Clash Magazine,[8] play over 250 shows, as well as being selected to headline Live at Leeds.[9] In 2020 they were going to be touring with The Kaiser Chiefs, as well as headlining their own shows in London and Leeds.[10]
