Oxis on Her Music Creation Process
Oxis explains her approach to songwriting: “For me, music isn’t something that’s planned. Nothing in life is.” She reflects on how her music-making process feels like capturing fleeting moments, saying that the beauty and challenge of her art is in seizing those transient, powerful emotions as they arise. “When something feels raw and real, you have to bite at it quickly, or else it disappears. That’s how Oxis 8 was made.”
2025: A Year of Remarkable Growth for Oxis
The year 2025 has been one of significant growth for Oxis. She released Oxis 7 and the surprise Sardine Tin EP, which featured reimagined covers inspired by her marine-themed artist project. Additionally, she recently wrapped up her North American tour, supporting Magdalena Bay, further solidifying her position in the industry.
Oxis’ Music: An Invitation to Explore
Oxis’s music invites listeners to dive deep into the vast ocean of her creative world. Layers of synths, instrumentation, and her own spellbinding vocals form a complex sonic landscape, reflecting the intense emotions of adolescence—those moments when life feels either like the highest euphoria or the deepest despair.
The Origin of the Oxis Project

Over the past two years, Oxis has released seven projects, continuing to evolve her sound and develop a dedicated fanbase in the process. Her music has caught the attention of notable figures in the music industry, including Julian Casablancas, with whom she performed in Los Angeles and New York City.
