ShyBoy is a recording artist, composer, and DJ/producer whose music has garnered over 70 million streams and has been placed in numerous films, video games, trailers, and television shows. Songs by ShyBoy have been featured in RuPaul’s Drag Race, America’s Next Top Model, the CW’s Dynasty, and more. He’s collaborated with an array of artists, including the Emmy-winning RuPaul; hip-hop artist SlimKid3 (The Pharcyde); EDM DJ Darude; Grammy-nominated songwriter Wendy Waldman; writer/producer Bryan Fuller (Hannibal); and Emmy, Grammy, and Tony-winning songwriter Allee Willis.

Bridging the lush ambiance of dreamy synth-wave and the vibrant pulse of nightlife with the expressive melodies and vocal styling of iconic American and European pop music, ShyBoy’s new LP His Royal Shyness unfolds effortlessly around stories of attraction, emotion, isolation, and connection. The ensuing sound pulls the audience into big city penthouses, down-low darkrooms, and small-town back alleys; on an adventure where the thin line between high-stakes love and low-rent lust reveals our innermost desires.

His Royal Shyness kicks off with the sparkling energy of the nu-disco-infused opening track “Sweet Release,” setting the tone for the album’s effortless mix of dance, R&B, and alternative sounds. The sleek and stylish “Bedroom Secrets” sways hypnotically between icy keyboards and soulful vocals, sliding us from the bedroom to the dance floor and back again. The pulsating synth-pop fantasy “Sex Doll” is propelled by ShyBoy’s playful performance, highlighting his innate lyricism and fluid vocal range. The sultry and seductive “Bad Thoughts” captures glistening main-stage energy while cruising through the shadowy hallways that lead to the backroom.

ShyBoy is the music composer for the Emmy-nominated Shudder/AMC documentary series Queer For Fear: The History Of Queer Horror (from executive producer Bryan Fuller). Several songs from His Royal Shyness are featured in the show, including the main title “Backroom,” described by Fuller as a song that “evokes dimly lit dance floors of a different kind” and World of Wonder as “a gritty masterpiece.”

Named Best Solo Artist in LA Weekly’s 10th Annual Best of L.A. awards and the winner of a Hollywood Music in Media Award (for best Alternative performance with his band Hypnogaja),  ShyBoy has performed throughout North America and Europe, sharing stages with artists such as Flo Rida, Meiko, Emmy Meli, MILCK, Shinedown, Saliva, and Amanda Palmer. ShyBoy’s work as a producer and  DJ includes the creation of the legendary dance party MaDonna Summer (with residencies in  Los Angeles and San Francisco); a performance at the official premiere party for the Broadway revival of West Side Story in NYC; and remixes and mashups for RuPaul, Whitney Houston, Julia Fordham, Donna Summer, The B-52’s (2022 farewell tour), and an array of other artists.

Circle of Hate
Performed by Hypnogaja (vocals by @ShyBoy)
Written and Produced by Jason Arnold, Jeff Hoeppner, and Mark Nubar

I wish you were dead
Which f*cks with my head
'Cause I'm a really nice guy
But I would like you to die
Please
If you could do me a favor
And end your life right now that would be so kind
Please and thank you
If you could just stop existing
The world would be a better place
Without your hate
And I won't have to retaliate

You don't know that I'm
Biding my time
While I'm biting my tongue
You think that you've won
Please
You don't know the first thing about me
Or how I live so if you don't mind
Please and thank you

Just die
If you won't let me live
You should just die

You give me a low feeling
That makes me want to put you down
About 6 feet
Deep
Deep
Deep

You hate me so I hate you
You hate who I love too
I hate you cause you hate me
You won't let me be me

It's an endless circle of hate
You try to create with me
I don't like violence
But it makes no sense
To make peace
If you can't let me be me
Then I can't let you be you
If hate is your only truth
It spreads to me thru an
Endless circle of hate
You try to create with me
I don't like violence
But it makes no sense
To make

I hate that I hate
It doesn't feel great
And it won't be by my hand
But your life should end
Please

Sweet Release

Out now: https://ffm.to/shyboy-queerforfear
"Dildo Machine" by ShyBoy feat. Alaska Thunderfuck
Taken from the original soundtrack and score album from the Emmy-nominated docuseries 'Queer for Fear: The History of Queer Horror'

Lyrics:

Greetings, Thunderfuckers 
This is your goddess Alaska speaking 
Welcome aboard the ShyBot9000 
Please strap in and strap on 
You’re in for a bumpy ride…
If you’re lucky 

You’ve been looking for a long, long time
But I’ve got what you seek
You’ve been acting like you know what’s good 
But you don’t know what you need

I’ve got something to show you, show you 
I’ve got something that you need to see
I don’t really need to know you, know you
Just go and take a ride
And you can meet my dildo machine

Come and ride my ooh, ooh 
Come and ride my dildo machine

Should you become overstimulated you may use a safe word
If you do not have a safe word, one will be assigned to you 

You look like you need it long and slow 
Release the tension inside
You just need to let those feelings go 
And take a real good ride
Never mind what your mind might say 
Your head’s between your thighs
You might need to let your feelings play 
Let the solution inside

You can come inside
No, I don’t mind
You can do as you please 
Please take your time 
With my dildo machine

Please observe and respect all posted signs of consent 
Keeping hands and legs inside the vehicle at all times
Once we reach cruising altitude, you may move about more freely 
The captain requests that you relax and never fight the funk

I just wanted you to know how it feels
How it feels to get to the root of the problem 
To take a trip inside all of our different ideals 
Even if we never get to solve them

'Queer For Fear' OST out now https://ffm.to/shyboy-queerforfear

“Darkroom powers activate… watch this gritty masterpiece.” -World of Wonder

Lyrics:

Red light, black walls
After-hours last call
Small room, big sound
Slicked back and torn down
It’s a little fantasy 
Escaping my reality
When the thump goes boom
In the backroom

If you come on in, we can begin

You can get just what you want
If you know where to go, what to do
Find just what you need to find
Come and join me inside the backroom

Backlit silhouette
Feel a kiss on your neck
(Blushed cheeks you can’t see
You can feel them from inside)
It’s a new reality
That’s shaping all my fantasies
(Skin tight and them curves long
You can the trust the lust inside)
When the thump goes boom
In the backroom
(You can find me where there’s none to stare
If you dare to fare inside)

Blushed cheeks you can’t see
You can feel them from inside
Skin tight and them curves long
You can the trust the lust inside
You can find me where there’s none to stare
If you dare to fare inside
If it’s a little bit nasty baby
It’s alright, it’s alright
‘Cause there’s something about you baby
That feels right, so right

Keep your last words in your hand

Song Meaning -
Jonas addresses,"Well, it isn't about suicide bombers specifically, rather about how some people are willing to sacrifice anything in the name of what they believe in. Be it for religious, revolutionary or other reasons... Interesting theme indeed but difficult to write about. No propaganda folks."

LOVESICK
Written by ShyBoy, Mark Nubar, Jeeve
Produced by Mark Nubar, Jeff Hoeppner, and ShyBoy

It’s truly a sickness
Love is just a disease
And if you’re the symptom
Where’s the medicine
That I need
Now there’s a hurt inside
And you make it bleed
With a sting
Yeah, it’s love all right
But it’s not always a good thing
No, love isn’t always a good thing

You got me love sick
Sick, sick, so cold
You got me cut to the core
With this pain I adore

I can’t seem to control
The infection has taken hold
This love sickness I endure
‘Cause you’re the symptom and the
I can’t seem to control
The infection has taken hold
This love sickness I endure
‘Cause you’re the symptom and the cure

Now I try to fight
But it burns too deep inside of me
I think it’s love, all right
It doesn’t matter though
It doesn’t matter
‘Cause love isn’t always a good thing

You got me love sick
Sick, sick, so cold
You got me cut to the core
With this pain I adore

I can’t seem to control
The infection has taken hold
This love sickness I endure
‘Cause you’re the symptom and the
I can’t seem to control
The infection has taken hold
This love sickness I endure
‘Cause you’re the symptom and the cure

(Take this pain away)
I need you

Only you
(Take this pain away)
I need you

I can’t seem to control
The infection has taken hold
This love sickness I endure
‘Cause you’re the symptom and the
I can’t seem to control

There is no cure

“Circle of Hate,” the first single from the long-awaited forthcoming new album by Hypnogaja, reflects the chaos, paranoia, and discord of a world eerily predicted by the band’s previous studio album Truth Decay (2009). Hypnogaja founder and lead singer ShyBoy delivers a powerfully unflinching and dynamic vocal, draped across an emotionally complex, gothic landscape that builds to a fever pitch.

With a sound described as "enthralling, first-rate modern rock” (Outburn), ”soulful rock with a subtle electronic backdrop” (Apple Music), and “music that pushes boundaries” (Denver Post), Hypnogaja has written and performed songs that have been featured in numerous television shows, video games, movie trailers, and theatrical films. 

Winner of the Hollywood Music in Media Award for Best Alternative Artist and Best Male Vocal (for ShyBoy’s performance of the Donna Summer classic “On The Radio”), Hypnogaja has collaborated with notable artists such as The Pharcyde’s SlimKid3 and legendary singer-songwriter Wendy Waldman, who produced the group’s live album, Acoustic Sunset: Live at the Longhouse.

Bridging the lush ambiance of dreamy synth-wave and the vibrant pulse of nightlife with the expressive melodies and vocal styling of iconic American and European pop music, ShyBoy’s latest LP His Royal Shyness unfolds effortlessly around stories of attraction, emotion, isolation, and connection. The ensuing sound pulls the audience into big city penthouses, down-low darkrooms, and small-town back alleys; on an adventure where the thin line between high-stakes love and low-rent lust reveals our innermost desires.

His Royal Shyness kicks off with the sparkling energy of the nu-disco infused opening track “Sweet Release,” setting the tone for the album’s effortless mix of dance, R&B, and alternative sounds. The sleek and stylish “Bedroom Secrets” sways hypnotically between icy keyboards and soulful vocals, sliding us from the bedroom to the dance floor and back again. The pulsating synth-pop fantasy “Sex Doll” is propelled by ShyBoy’s playful performance, highlighting his innate lyricism and fluid vocal range. The sultry and seductive “Bad Thoughts” captures glistening main-stage energy while cruising through the shadowy hallways that lead to the backroom.

ShyBoy is the music composer for the Emmy-nominated documentary series Queer For Fear: The History Of Queer Horror. Several songs from His Royal Shyness are featured in the show, including the main title “Backroom,” described by World of Wonder as “a gritty masterpiece.” The original score and soundtrack album from Queer For Fear features “Dildo Machine” by ShyBoy and RuPaul’s Drag Race superstar Alaska Thunderfuck.

ShyBoy's music has been featured in various TV shows, including RuPaul's Drag Race, Dynasty, and America's Next Top Model, as well as in the Capcom video game Devil May Cry 4 and the trailer for the 2018 film Halloween. His collaborations include projects with RuPaul, Alaska Thunderfuck, SlimKid3 (of The Pharcyde), Wendy Waldman, Darude, and Allee Willis. Additionally, ShyBoy co-founded the band Hypnogaja and the indie label The Spaceman Agency.
