Book Quinn XCII

Quinn XCII is the Michigan singer-songwriter who built a large, loyal audience with breezy pop that blends hip-hop rhythms, reggae touches and confessional lyrics. Born Mikael Temrowski in Grosse Pointe, he began writing and recording as a sophomore at Michigan State University in 2011, first posting videos as Mike T. His stage name comes from a professor's motto, "Quit Unless Your Instincts Are Never Neglected," with the Roman numerals for his 1992 birth year added later. He released his debut EP, Change of Scenery, in 2015, and his collaborations with producer and childhood friend ayokay, including "Kings of Summer," helped spread his name online. Signing with Columbia Records, he released The Story of Us in 2017, followed by From Michigan With Love, A Letter to My Younger Self and Change of Scenery II, with songs such as "Straightjacket" and "Stacy" becoming fan favorites. After moving to Republic Records he released The People's Champ and a series of meal-themed EPs that became Quinn XCII Presents: Mustard Mike's Breakfast, Lunch, and Dinner (2024). His seventh album, LOOK! I'm Alive, arrived in July 2025. His headlining tours regularly play to crowds of devoted young fans.
