Biography

Chris Corner’s process of becoming IAMX has been theatrical, transcendent, and communal. Androgynous and visceral, he has metamorphosed from small-town kid, to international pop star with Sneaker Pimps to creator of raw art. Fuelling electronic experimentation with punk energy and confessional lyricism, IAMX's sound, fashion, performances and persona are larger than life, iconoclastic and intimate. After releasing Kiss + Swallow in 2004 and moving from the UK to Berlin in 2005, IAMX released 6 additional albums over 8 years. In 2013 Corner suffered from depression and insomnia, prompting a move to LA and yielding Metanoia in 2015. An intensely cathartic work, it represented a comeback and a turning point in Corner’s life, and allowed him to explore themes of mental health that eventually led to partnerships with the You Rock Foundation and an intimate documentary. Since then IAMX has released several more albums ranging from experimental electronica to his 2020 acoustic album, Echo Echo, which lists David Bottrill as a producer. In 2021 the prolific artist is releasing albums as Sneaker Pimps and IAMX, both on his new label, UNFALL (co-founded with Janine Gezang). As a video artist, IAMX crafts stunning work for himself and other acts such as his friend Gary Numan. Just as the X in mathematics signifies the variable and unpredictable, Corners’ identity and artistry is evolutionary. As a result, his work continues to deepen with an ever expanding catalogue of projects.
