About

RY X, born Ry Cuming, is a sonic alchemist whose ethereal soundscapes blur the lines between intimacy and grandeur. Hailing from the coastal town of Byron Bay, Australia, RY X crafts music that feels like a whispered secret shared under a starlit sky, yet resonates with the power of a tidal wave. His signature blend of minimalist electronica, haunting falsetto vocals, and organic instrumentation has carved a niche in the modern indie landscape, drawing comparisons to Bon Iver and James Blake while remaining distinctly his own. RY X first gained international attention with his 2013 breakout single "Berlin," a melancholic yet hypnotic track that became an anthem for introspective souls. His debut album, *Dawn* (2016), solidified his reputation as a master of atmospheric storytelling, weaving themes of love, loss, and rebirth into a sonic tapestry. Beyond his solo work, RY X is one-third of the electronic trio The Acid, further showcasing his versatility and collaborative spirit. Culturally, RY X has become a beacon for those seeking solace in music, his live performances often described as spiritual experiences. His collaborations with artists like Frank Wiedemann and Ólafur Arnalds have pushed creative boundaries, while his music has graced global stages and major festivals. Currently, RY X continues to evolve, with recent projects hinting at deeper explorations of sound and emotion. His latest releases, including the 2023 EP *Blood Moon*, reveal an artist unafraid to delve into the shadows, crafting music that is as haunting as it is healing.
