Biography

RY X gravitates towards connection. Connection to nature, to his emotions, to his body and spirit, to the human experience. On his third, transcendental solo album, Blood Moon, the Australian musician delves into what inspires the pull into these spaces – the ways in which we move through the world – in songs that serve as the apotheosis of his artistic expression. Blood Moon is an extraordinary, multi-faceted work. Across 13 beautifully arranged songs, the singer born Ry Cuming assesses the relationships he’s experienced over the years, writing from a place that is, clearly, incredibly personal to him. Throughout his career, RY X has sought to engage in all forms of this highly personal artistic expression, evidenced by sold out performances across the world, performing in hallowed spaces such as London’s Royal Albert Hall alongside orchestras and string sections, and in videos for songs such as “Beacon”, in 2017. “I feel it’s another of the ‘pure’ artforms in that it’s able to catalyse feeling,” he says. “Dance coupled with music is such a powerful experience.” That same year, he hosted an astounding performance at Berlin’s historic Konzerthaus with the German Chamber Orchestra, then, in 2018, performed at the Nobel Peace Prize in Oslo with The Acid, his collaborative project with British DJ Adam Freeland and California producer Steve Nalepa. “You have to, right?” he says, of his relentless seeking of new ways to express himself.
