Named Best Solo Artist in LA Weekly’s 10th Annual Best of L.A. awards, ShyBoy has appeared on stage with acts such as Flo Rida and Amanda Palmer and has toured North America with his critically acclaimed band Hypnogaja. He’s held residencies at LA’s prestigious Hotel Café and with the infamous Bootie Mashup (LA, San Francisco, NYC, Las Vegas, Berlin). He also co-founded the legendary MaDonna Summer dance party with gold-selling record producer Mark Nubar. In February 2020, he was the featured DJ at the official premiere party for the West Side Story revival on Broadway in NYC.

Revry’s 2020 QueerX Film Festival chose ShyBoy’s “Backroom” as an official music video selection. Celebrating the evolution of LGBTQ+ leather subculture and evoking dimly lit dance floors of a different kind, “Backroom” (directed by Michael Bodie) has been described by World of Wonder as “a gritty masterpiece.” The Hollywood Music In Media Awards officially nominated the “Backroom” single for a 2021 award in the Alternative music category.

The lyrics, melodies, and synth soundscapes of ShyBoy’s latest single "The Sky Is Falling" flow together to create a dreamy and uplifting message of love, healing, and acceptance. The words flow across the song's upbeat pulse with a sense of hope that has the power to sustain us through even the darkest of times: "If the sky starts falling down / We can build it all back up again."

Recent projects featuring ShyBoy on lead vocals include: “1981,” the debut single from orchestral sci-fi collective Warningfield (a collaboration with Grammy-nominated composer/producers Jim Guttridge and Sean Hosein); and “Silence,” the latest single by Berlin-based electronic recording artist Purple Kaiser (of Kaiser Souzai). ShyBoy is currently in the studio working on new music, including a remix of the Wang Chung synth pop classic “To Live and Die in L.A.”
