In the vast realm of music, there are artists who defy categorization and blur the boundaries of genres. One such visionary is IX, an enigmatic musical artist whose real name is Marnix. With an impressive array of talents and a diverse range of musical projects under his belt, IX is a true creative force to be reckoned with. When he’s not captivating audiences as a member of the band Ciao Lucifer, where he invites everyone to join in the electrifying party that unfolds on stage, IX can be found behind the scenes, working his magic as a producer and songwriter for esteemed artists like Herman van Veen, Kris Berry & Gerson Main. His ability to breathe life into the visions of others is a testament to his exceptional talent and versatility. However, it is IX’s personal project that truly showcases his boundless creativity and unrestricted exploration of musical ideas. IX is his laboratory, his sanctuary, where he fearlessly experiments and nurtures the ideas that may not find a home elsewhere. It’s an avenue for him to express his unique vision and dive into uncharted territories of sound. One of IX’s recent endeavors includes an ambitious collaboration with Nora Fischer, where they delved into the enchanting world of 17th-century music for their album titled “Hush.” This unexpected exploration demonstrated IX’s willingness to push boundaries and his ability to seamlessly blend the old with the new, resulting in a mesmerizing auditory experience that captivated listeners. In another stunning collaboration, IX joined forces with his childhood hero, Brisa Roché, to create the captivating album “BRMD.” This collaboration showcased IX’s ability to seamlessly integrate his own artistic flair with the vision of another artist, resulting in a harmonious fusion of styles and a truly remarkable musical journey. Now, IX is preparing to release his upcoming album, “Vitamin D,” and the lead single, “Getting Lost,” has already set hearts ablaze. This groovy love song encapsulates the desire to transcend superficiality in relationships and focus on the essence of a person. It invites listeners to get lost in every aspect of their lover, embracing their flaws, strengths, and everything in between. The chorus of “Getting Lost” captivates the listener with a continuous rambling polyrhythmic melody, creating an enchanting effect that mirrors the feeling of truly losing oneself in the presence of another. As the lyrics paint a vivid picture of getting lost in the depths of their lover’s mind, eyes, and conversations, IX’s musical arrangement weaves a sonic tapestry that immerses the listener in a world of pure emotion. “I feel like getting lost in your head, in your eyes, in your mind, in your depths, in your highs, in your thighs, in your bed, in your cries, and our conversations. Getting lost in your tricks, in your tears, in your fears, in your lips, in your cheers, in your legs, in your hips, in your body, our combination.” With each verse, IX beckons the listener to embrace vulnerability, to immerse themselves in the complexities of love and human connection. Through his artistry, he reminds us of the power of losing ourselves in another person, of finding solace in their presence and celebrating the unique chemistry that exists between two souls. As IX continues to explore the boundaries of his musical prowess, we can’t help but anticipate the release of his upcoming album, “Vitamin D,” with bated breath. With each project he undertakes, IX invites us on a journey through uncharted sonic landscapes, enchanting us with his ability to create magic out of sound. So, whether you find yourself immersed in the lively atmosphere of a Ciao Lucifer performance, captivated by his production work for renowned artists, or lost in the spellbinding melodies of his personal project, IX is an artist who will undoubtedly leave an indelible mark on the world of music. Keep an ear out for the release of “Vitamin D” and allow IX to transport you to a world where music knows no boundaries.
