Cynix, even though a fairly recent newcomer to the alternative/modern rock music scene, has quickly established itself as one of the most sought-after unsigned bands in modern rock. Cynix's music, which is written, arranged and produced by the group in a collaborative effort, has introduced an addictive fusion of sound that has been very well received: sexy modern rockpop/ electronica. The unique seductive fusion draws on influences from several rhythmical genres, most notably, jazz, creating music like nothing you have ever heard. Cynix is bringing audiences what they are hungry for: a connection and a change.
Probably due to the fact that this off-beat crew with their off-stage antics are anything but newcomers to the music industry themselves, Cynix is bringing their unique sound to audiences worldwide. Built from the ashes of a few of NYC's most popular bands gone wrong, Cynix has a story that would rival any Oscar-winning screenplay. It is a tale filled with deception, cheating, theft, violence, tragedy, and the determination to tell it like it is. The addictively unique sound coupled with their mind-blowing, and often times, bizarre stage presence is sure to keep those venues packed. With over 10,000 CDs sold independently, a website growing in popularity, and a rapidly growing fan base, Cynix is ready to bring music back where it belongs- to a state of creativity - that still reaches audiences like nothing else. The group is led by vocalist Karen Xerri, keyboardist/guitarist Mark Paradiso, and drummer Rick Donato.
Cynix members have achieved international exposure in their current project as well as numerous former projects. Notable highlights include: * Songs co-written by Paradiso have been heard on a few big-stuff tv programs and on over 370 college radio stations, regularly making Top 20 Playlists.* Media exposure has ranged from Maxim to The Clear Channel's New Music Network.* Snatching 1st place in the International John Lennon Songwriting Competition* Becoming a Top 10 Finalist in MTV's Band Warfare Nationwide Unsigned Band Search.
Cynix's members have brought their mind-blowing music to every corner of the world- from Europe's live music venues to Cynix's native NYC to the band's headquarters in Los Angeles. After all this, they have managed to stay true to their unique sound, brutally honest lyrics, and above all...the music.
