“The intricacy of ShyBoy’s lyricism is fascinating.”
“Makes a bold impression on today’s indie-pop landscape.”
“ShyBoy’s soulful vocals are irresistible.”
His Royal Shyness
Bridging the lush ambiance of dreamy synth-wave and the vibrant pulse of nightlife with the expressive melodies and vocal styling of iconic American and European pop music, ShyBoy’s latest LP His Royal Shyness unfolds effortlessly around stories of attraction, emotion, isolation, and connection. The ensuing sound pulls the audience into big city penthouses, down-low darkrooms, and small-town back alleys; on an adventure where the thin line between high-stakes love and low-rent lust reveals our innermost desires.
His Royal Shyness kicks off with the sparkling energy of the nu-disco-infused opening track “Sweet Release,” setting the tone for the album’s effortless mix of dance, R&B, and alternative sounds. The sleek and stylish “Bedroom Secrets” sways hypnotically between icy keyboards and soulful vocals, sliding us from the bedroom to the dance floor and back again. The pulsating synth-pop fantasy “Sex Doll” is propelled by ShyBoy’s playful performance, highlighting his innate lyricism and fluid vocal range. The sultry and seductive “Bad Thoughts” captures glistening main-stage energy while cruising through the shadowy hallways that lead to the backroom.
ShyBoy is the music composer for the Emmy-nominated Shudder/AMC documentary series Queer For Fear: The History Of Queer Horror. Several songs from His Royal Shyness are featured in the show, including the main title “Backroom,” described by World of Wonder as “a gritty masterpiece.” The original score and soundtrack album from Queer For Fear features “Dildo Machine” by ShyBoy and Alaska Thunderfuck.
Songs by ShyBoy have garnered 70M+ streams and his music has been featured in numerous films, video games, and TV shows including RuPaul's Drag Race, Dynasty, America's Next Top Model, Devil May Cry 4, and Halloween. He has collaborated with an array of artists, including: the Emmy-winning RuPaul; hip-hop artist SlimKid3 (The Pharcyde); EDM DJ Darude; Grammy-nominated songwriter Wendy Waldman; Emmy-winning composer Jim Dooley (Pushing Daisies); and Emmy, Grammy, and Tony-winning songwriter Allee Willis.
Named Best Solo Artist in LA Weekly’s 10th Annual Best of L.A. awards, ShyBoy co-founded the critically acclaimed band Hypnogaja, indie label The Spaceman Agency, and the legendary dance party MaDonna Summer (with residencies in San Francisco, Palm Springs, and Los Angeles).
