Onicks is a multi-instrumentalist singer and songwriter, originally from California’s San Fernando Valley. The self described “Queerdo latchkey kid” learned to play the drums, trumpet and keys at an early age. As a teen he experimented drugs and ended up fighting with substance abuse and authority. Ultimately though, his love of music and pulled him through. Singing and songwriting were his escapes.
A few years ago he launched a popular YouTube channel and began publishing wildly creative music videos. The eccentric artistry and sexual energy of videos like “Double Dose” and “Manimal” struck a chord within the global LGBTQ community. Onicks suddenly counted his fan base in the tens of thousands. Last year the artist began releasing a series of successful singles, once again connecting with fans worldwide.
“Half to Death” is the singer’s latest single. Release October 28, 2020 the song pairs an upbeat Pop vibe with a catchy melody, some very funky guitar and dark lyrical undertones. The upbeat Dance groove takes the song to the club as Onicks sings of a toxic relationship that is barely in the rearview.
The song’s video features scenes of the singer in various states of dress amid images of weapons, blood and roses. It is a visually captivating video paired with an infectiously catchy tune. The lyrical nod to Lady Marmalade is a nice touch as well.
I want to emote pure sexual energy, aggression, and passion in my music that you can feel. I hardly do something for shits.
