About ShYboi

ShYboi isn’t just making music; she’s crafting a sonic universe where glitchy electronica meets introspective R&B, all filtered through a decidedly queer lens. Hailing from Aotearoa (New Zealand), ShYboi (aka Sunni Nicolson) exploded onto the scene with her infectious energy and unapologetically raw vulnerability. Her sound, a potent blend of footwork rhythms, future bass textures, and the deeply personal storytelling reminiscent of artists like FKA twigs and James Blake, has carved out a unique space in the electronic music landscape. ShYboi’s early releases, including her self-titled EP, showcased her production prowess and songwriting capabilities, quickly earning her a devoted following. Breakthrough moments include electrifying performances at festivals like Rhythm & Vines and showcases supporting international artists. Beyond the music, ShYboi is a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and representation, using her platform to amplify marginalized voices. Collaborations with fellow forward-thinking producers have further cemented her status as a rising star. Her music speaks directly to the anxieties and triumphs of a generation navigating identity and self-discovery in a hyper-connected world. Currently, ShYboi is reportedly working on new material, promising a deeper exploration of her sonic palette and thematic concerns.
