Queer For Fear: The History Of Queer Horror (Original Score and Soundtrack) contains score and title songs from the Emmy-nominated Shudder/AMC+ docuseries. For the soundtrack release, ShyBoy recorded a duet with RuPaul's Drag Race superstar (and Queer For Fear commentator) Alaska Thunderfuck.
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 new 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. Features music from the critically-acclaimed Shudder original series Queer For Fear: The History of Queer Horror.
ShyBoy composed the score for Bryan Fuller’s critically-acclaimed documentary series Queer For Fear: A History Of Queer Horror (Shudder/AMC). His song “Backroom” is featured as the theme. Listen here.

“I’m your sex doll / But I wanna be a real boy…” Umm, a different take on Pinocchio, right, ShyBoy? ShyBoy delivers a fun, risqué, and steamy bop with “Sex Doll”. Perhaps he is shy as his name suggests but there’s nothing shy about this must-hear sexually charged cut. In fact, it was a debate whether to make this After Dark or an LGBTQ Bopz . It’s worth noting, I discovered this sex toy-driven number on an unapologetic Spotify playlist, Gay Sex. Woo! Anyways, “Sex Doll” was written and produced by Jason Arnold, Jeff Hoeppner, and Mark Nubar. Both the writing and production are strong suits, working hand in hand to produce this distinct musical selection.
ShyBoy’s new single, the sultry and seductive “Bad Thoughts,” captures glistening main-stage energy while cruising through the shadowy hallways that lead to the backroom. Taken from the forthcoming LP His Royal Shyness.

The pulsating synth-pop fantasy of “Sex Doll” is propelled by ShyBoy’s playfully soulful vocal performance. The song highlights his innate lyricism and fluid vocal range. Taken from the forthcoming LP His Royal Shyness.
“Circle of Hate,” the first single from the long-awaited forthcoming new album by Hypnogaja, reflects the chaos, paranoia, and discord of a world eerily predicted by the band’s previous studio album Truth Decay (2009). Hypnogaja founder and lead singer ShyBoy delivers a powerfully unflinching and dynamic vocal, draped across an emotionally complex, gothic landscape that builds to a fever pitch.
The future-retro sound of ShyBoy’s sleek and stylish “Bedroom Secrets” sways hypnotically between icy keyboards and soulful vocals. The song’s alluring sensuality slides us from the bedroom to the dance floor and back again.
ShyBoy is one of the artists who talks about some of his favorite classic rock albums in The Best Classic Rock Albums Of All Time expert roundup by Minuca Elena.
ShyBoy: When making this list of favorite classic rock albums, my first thought was to include records by Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and The Rolling Stones – but those all go without saying. Instead, I’ve chosen a list of classic LPs that I feel expanded the definition of rock:
1. Purple Rain by Prince
At its core – from the songs to the production and the performances – Purple Rain is a rock album. It’s a record that went on to propel Prince to be recognized not only as one of the top artists in the world but also as one of the best guitarists of our time.
2. Bad Girls by Donna Summer
Some may argue that this is not a rock LP, but it should be noted that Donna Summer won the Grammy Award for Best Female Rock Vocal Performance for the album’s first single, “Hot Stuff.” The whole record is an experience unique unto itself, with rock guitars laced throughout.
3. Touch by Eurythmics
It may be an album full of synthesizers, but Eurythmics’ Annie Lennox and Dave Stewart rock out with an incomparable sound that stands the test of time. If The Beatles were keyboard-driven, this is what they would sound like.
