The animated worlds

THE SONGS
BECOME STORIES.

The album gives you about 30 minutes of music. The full dimension gives you an 80-minute animated movie. Every song becomes a chapter on screen. There is no single origin story: each album has its own world, characters, rules, and emotional truth.

WORLD 01

Magnum Opus

Fantasy · Adventure · Mystery · 80-minute dimension movie

Houston, 2030. The city is lush and green because electricity and everything built on pure logic shifted out. The people left have soul. They do not fight—they rap or sing battle, and what they speak becomes reality. Only UNK carries the secret Nano Bot technology.

  1. UNK leads La Unu down an overgrown 59 from Austin to Houston
  2. Yayo—one of four Guardians—keeps the true history of Hip-Hop
  3. Cixx pulls up in the last SLAB: a 1978 Lincoln Continental Mark V
  4. The Man Hold Up Tribe battles Necromancers from another dimension
  5. UNK falls, bequeaths the Nano Bots to La Unu, and La Unu finally speaks
WORLD 02

DeaD MediA

Dark animated series · music-driven episodes

A grounded story drawn from the real band: Cixx, guitarist Frank Liu, drummer Dominic “Doc Pocket” Hawkins, and bassist Alan Garcia. A breakup opens the wound; an offer points the band from Houston toward Los Angeles; faith, ambition, brotherhood, and consequence decide whether they come home.

  1. Bleeding Thumbs opens before dawn after the breakup
  2. Prayer and songwriting reveal what Cixx cannot say out loud
  3. The full band turns the private wound into a shared mission
  4. A deal points west and tests the bond between them
  5. Paper World asks where the dream ends and real life begins
WORLD 03

K80-CIXXED

Two-act EDM cyber-romance

A logic-dominated machine world where art, chaos, and feeling have been erased. K80 is a humanlike female cyborg rejected because her emotions disrupt the grid; 6CIXX6 can cross between human and machine states.

  1. K80 is sent into the Logic Dimension
  2. Her compassion makes the system suspicious
  3. K80 and 6CIXX6 become star-crossed lovers
  4. The machine network works to stop their union
  5. They run toward a place where love can exist freely

Official biography · on-page EPK

OUT OF
THE ASHES.

Out of the ashes of a violent past, a legend has re-emerged—Cixx The Phoenix. His story reads like a prophecy uncovered in ancient scrolls, hidden until the earth shook and the world was ready to hear it.

Working the doors and selling drugs to survive, Cixx came through Houston’s streets as a Rolling 60s Crip, debt collector, and organizer. He was marked for destruction. But God intervened. Called out of darkness, he witnessed miracles, surrendered a record deal that would have destroyed him, and was transformed into a man reborn to carry fire, truth, and testimony through music.

The name carries its own meaning: CIXX represents six—the number of man, always falling short of the glory of God. The Phoenix is the divine exchange: a pagan symbol repurposed through the truth of Yeshua HaMashiach. Where man fails, the Lord raises. From ashes and ruin comes a flame lifted by the God who redeems.

Musically, Cixx The Phoenix weaves Hip-Hop, Rock, R&B, Pop, and EDM into a sound cinematic in scope and streetwise in tone. Dormant while waiting on God’s timing, he now rises to unite communities, transform hate into love, and turn scars into anthems of survival, faith, and transformation. This is more than music—it is the sound of a soul on fire.

The testimony behind the catalog

THE LONG
ROAD HOME.

This is the point of the entire story: redemption.

God can take a man from ashes to glory when that man seeks Him first. Cixx does not sell perfection. He speaks openly about anger, language, cannabis, lust, and pride—the failures that keep sending him back to grace. In spite of all of it, the Lord planted a seed he believes will one day stand like a mighty oak.

01
THE ASHES

Raised inside the fire

Abuse, abandonment, poverty, violence, gang life, and the drug trade taught Cixx how to survive before they ever taught him how to dream. Music became the language strong enough to hold what ordinary words could not.

02
THE CALL

A Saul of Tarsus moment

An industry door opened, but God interrupted the road. Cixx stepped into discipleship, worship, guitar, spiritual warfare, and a life that made no sense without the Lord. He saw enough to know the call was real—even when he was not ready to obey it completely.

03
THE PRODIGAL

Loud rooms and a long rebellion

Hard Rock, Raging Apathy, Paradigm Grey, Scout Bar, live stages, and nights at the door carried the music forward while Cixx ran from the altar. Houston nightlife kept paying for the next record. It was survival, community, temptation, education, and another road God would later redeem.

04
THE LOSS

Brothers, studios, and unfinished songs

Campus Recordings joined Cixx with Frank Liu as roommates, partners, and brothers in the work. Music multiplied, but addiction and conflict pulled them apart. After Frank died, Cixx returned to the unfinished story, reconnected with Cy Fyre and Rockaway, and began building the rooms needed to finish what had been started.

05
THE RETURN

The promise comes back to life

Business taught Cixx how to build, lead, fund, and finish. Now that experience is being poured back into the catalog, the studios, THA KITCHEN, and a universe where songs become dimensions. The goal is not self-glory. It is to do his part, give the Lord the glory, and let the rest belong to God.

“I will do my part. The rest is up to the Lord.”

Opening transmission

THE FIRST
SIX MONTHS.

A new Cixx record every two weeks.

Cixx @ THE BLENDER and DeaD MediA alternate every four weeks. The larger two-year runway stays living so the strongest records can move forward.

The dimension atlas

ALBUMS ARE
DIMENSIONS.

Fourteen albums. Fourteen dimensions inside the Cixx The Phoenix Universe—each with its own hero, rules, sound, look, and reason to exist. Characters can cross dimensions, but every world stands on its own.

The visual archive

ARTWORK
OF THE WORLDS.

Project covers, single art, alternate identities, and visual studies supplied directly from the Cixx archive. Together they show how every dimension earns its own language without losing the Phoenix.

K80-CIXXED is one locked 19-song story told in two movements: 10 chapters in Act I and 9 chapters in Act II. Four connected cover pieces carry the same cyber-romance across both sides.

Songs to Live By

Cixx The Phoenix Universe

THE MACRO.
THE MICRO.

Big picture: a life gets destroyed, rebuilt, and transformed. Up close: every song is a room, a choice, a wound, a character, a memory, a consequence. Every album turns those chapters into a dimension.

01

Song = chapter

Every song moves the story. Nothing is just filler.

02

Album = dimension

About 30 minutes of music creates a world with its own hero, laws, and sound.

03

Movie = full dimension

Every album and song is animated. The whole story becomes an 80-minute movie.

04

Catalog = universe

Every dimension connects. La Unu is the one destined to unify them.

The career archive

BEFORE THE RISE.
THROUGH THE FIRE.

This is the real archive: bands, recording rooms, performances, nightlife, collaborators, and the people who were there while the sound was becoming what it is now.

01

The first songs

The catalog begins—writing, experimentation, and the earliest versions of the artist.

02

The door taught everything

Working as a bouncer and selling drugs to survive, Cixx learned Houston from the doors, streets, rooms, and people most histories leave out.

03

Paradigm Grey · The Pride

Bands, rooms, collaborators, and the Rock foundation that still burns inside the current sound.

04

Campus Recordings

A deep physical and digital archive of sessions, versions, performances, photographs, and unfinished history.

05

Collision becomes method

Hip-Hop, R&B, live rooms, parties, and collaborators expand the universe beyond a single genre.

06

The Phoenix system

THA KITCHEN organizes the rights and releases while Cixx turns the entire catalog into one connected world.

BAND I

Paradigm Grey

The early band chapter—street portraits, the lineup, live performance, and the rooms where the Rock foundation took form.

LIVE · THE BLENDER · CAMPUS RECORDINGS

From the Room to the World

One complete studio chapter. Live rooms first. Then every unique THE BLENDER session image. Then the full Campus Recordings archive—now joined by original live, rehearsal, and studio footage—running directly into the DeaD MediA chapter.

LIVE

Live in the Room

The stage, the players, the crowd, and the rooms where the songs learned how to breathe in public.

THE BLENDER

THE BLENDER Studio

The control room, the microphone, the collaborators, and the sessions where collision became the method.

CAMPUS

Campus Recordings

The complete surviving photo archive—studio sessions, equipment, performances, collaborators, events, and the life surrounding the work.

BOUNCING HERE & THERE · UP LATE · HOUSTON NIGHTLIFE

After Dark

The doors, the rooms, the artists, the crews, the party buses, the pool decks, and the nights that paid for the next record. Houston after dark was not a detour. It was part of the journey.
