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.

Bedroom Secrets
Performed by ShyBoy
Written and Produced by Jason Arnold, Jeff Hoeppner, and Mark Nubar

It’s ok if you don’t talk
You still tell me everything
I can tell just what you want
By the way you move me

We can keep it quiet
I’ll keep it going
We can keep it all
Between the sheets
With everybody in between

You and me and my bedroom
With him and her and them
You and me and my bedroom
We can keep our bedroom secrets

We’re all just working out our issues
On the dance floor and in the bedroom

It’s okay to want it more
You can have everything
(And everyone)
We can you keep you satisfied
With every move and me

We can have a lot of fun
With a little help from friends
We can have anyone 
Between the sheets
And everybody in between

You and me and my bedroom
With them and theirs and us
You and me and my bedroom
We can keep our bedroom secrets

We can move the way we move
When we do all the things that make you ahhh
We can slip into a bliss with just one kiss
From him and hers and them and theirs and…

It’s okay if it gets too crowded
(There’s room for more than two)
We can share all of our intimacies
(I’ll bear it all with you)
I don’t mind if you scream and shout it
(These walls are all soundproof)
You can be everyone’s everything
With you and me in between

"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
