Marcel Everett (born October 31, 1995),[1] better known as XXYYXX, is an electronic musician and record producer from Orlando, Florida signed to Relief in Abstract. He is most notable for gaining prominence within the indie music culture, despite his young age. He produces his music in his bedroom with FL Studio and Ableton Live.[1][3][5][6]
Everett himself described his music as "Doing drugs on a freeway...underwater," in an interview with Relief in Abstract. His style was also likened to Clams Casino, Zomby, Burial, James Blake and The Weeknd.[2] His musical influences include Lapalux, Star Slinger, Disclosure and Shlohmo.[6]
XXYYXX has also made remixes for artists such as Tinashe and Usher.[7][8][9] In 2014, he created a new song titled "What We Want" exclusively for the video game Grand Theft Auto V. This song was included for the expanded soundtrack that was a part of the re-release of the game on PC, Xbox One, and Playstation 4 systems.[10]
XXYYXX headlined the San Francisco Noise Pop Festival in February 2013.[11][12]
