HVXLII
HVXLII (pronounced "Huxley") is a Salt Lake City-based producer, songwriter, and vocalist operating at the intersection of electronic music, alt-pop, and unapologetically queer artistry. His music lives where power and surrender coexist — where the aesthetics of queer kink culture collide with the precision of avant-garde pop production.
Bringing the commanding vocal presence of Bill Kaulitz and the fearless theatricality of Adam Lambert to a sonic world shaped by the industrial tension of Nine Inch Nails, the hypnotic precision of FKA Twigs, the delicate minimalism of oklou, and the pop architecture of Max Martin, HVXLII makes music that lives on the edge of transgression without ever losing its grip on melody.
His international profile spans two high performing collaborations — "Dear Gravity" with DJ Xquizit and "Paradise" on Sony Music imprint disco:Wax — alongside a feature on Roman Messer's album Ambition. In 2026, he was named one of fifteen global runner-ups in Kesha and Smash Music's Open Verse Competition, earning features across their official platforms worldwide.
A songwriter at his core, his work is rooted in queer BDSM culture not as provocation but as honest artistic language — music that invites the listener to sit with love, discomfort, desire, and ultimately, themselves.
