WILKINS IS GOD

Much like Daniel Larson, Cyraxx has been pursuing music ever since he was a kid - more specifically, becoming a rapper and DJ. Cyraxx has been making "music" since the inception of his first channel such as rap-style content and occasional rock music, but like any form of art he tries to produce, the end product lacks any sort of quality. In Cyraxx's delusion world, his music is of course pure gold waiting to be discovered by a producer or the wider public, upholding his work as nothing less than pure genius and going as far as claiming that he created his very own genre of music.[1] Cyraxx's music, even though it isn't very good, is the only real job he's had, as he has made a staggering $5.81 off of music streaming and was once signed onto a record label by Erik Skrubbalo before betraying him and getting kicked off of it. Cyraxx has "made" many songs on his SoundCloud,[2] Spotify,[3] and YouTube channels where his discography is archived. Sffice to say, his music is frankly ass and he got no talent. He very rarely actually makes his own original music, only screaming over pre-made beats at 3 in the morning and waking up his parents, as shown in the Chester Bennington scream video.

Much like his art, his music is extensively stolen and plagiarized from people with actual talent.[4][5] One of the more well-known examples of this is when he stole music from an artist called Zentrix Beats and tried to frame Zentrix as the bad guy when she took it down for copyright reasons, as Cyraxx was apparently paying her with "exposure," as if exposure from a known pedophile is worth anything.

History

Some of Cyraxx's earliest content are music videos, and his first known music video is a was a skating music video called "Its So Delicious Demo DJ shadowBlad FT The Pozzezzed one,"[6] which was released on the 3rd of April, 2012.

Around the time he started uploading online, he was signed onto a Juggalo record label out of pity by an artist named Erik Skrubbalo, who had involvement with a label named "Killer Clown Sounds." After making presumably no money for the label, he soon betrayed Erik by throwing his dog tags into a lake after disassociating himself from the Juggalo community.[7] Erik, of course, kicked him off the label, which caused Cyraxx to then immediately make an "apology" video to get back on the label,[8] where he claimed that Sally told him to throw Erik's dog tags into a lake and that he only did it because he was angry. This obviously did not work.

Copyright

Copyrights and due royalties have been an ever-pervasive issue in Cyraxx’s musical “career." While Cyraxx is more than happy to steal beats from other artists, use AI to create tracks (if not entire songs) and whine at musicians and producers for charging too much for their work,[9] he is extremely defensive about the rights and value of his own “work”. However, due to laziness, limited intellect, or non-existent financial means, Cyraxx was never able to formally protect any of his work, leaving the door wide open for trolls to swoop in and claim his music as theirs.

His understanding of copyright law appears to be both deeply flawed and highly self-serving. While he is correct in believing that intellectual property is automatically granted upon the creation of a work, he often overlooks the practical realities of enforcement - namely that rights typically go to the party who registers or files first. This has left him vulnerable to copyright trolls and largely powerless to dispute their claims, as he lacks the knowledge or means to properly contest them. In addition, he seems to be under the impression that intellectual property falls under criminal law, and thus threatens whoever takes his music with prison sentences.

When the topic of him taking music material without permission is brought up, Chance is quick to deflect with excuses or claim that his accusers have no proof. He frequently cites "sampling" or covering songs as justification for using another artist's track, arguing that adding his own lyrics or vocals makes the work his own. However, for such uses to qualify as fair use, they must be meaningfully transformative, Chance’s alterations usually fall well below that standard, leaving him open to legitimate infringement claims.

Speaking of faire use, Cyraxx does not believe in this concept. While what constitutes "fair use" can be a blurry line, for Cyraxx however, the author must give express permission for their work to be quoted verbatim no matter what.[10] He brushes off any claim to the fair use clause as a "loophole" used by trolls to steal his content, especially against archive channels repuloading his videos for documentation or commentary channels.

Wance Chilkins

Wance Chilkins is a character used as a stand-in by William Gloryhole to mass-copyright Cyraxx’s music, thus effectively preventing him from publishing his “work” as his own without getting copyright claimed. This caused much chagrin to Cyraxx who has repeatedly threatened William with legal action to reclaim his music, usually with ridiculous prejudice to satisfy his juvenile vengeance fantasies.  

Of course, he brushes off the glaring contradiction that pretty much his entire discography consists of either stolen tracks or AI-generated content, which cannot be copywritten in due form in the first place.

Discography

Cyraxx has made an extensive amount of music ever since his early internet days.

Lost Innocence

Cyraxx made a music video[11] during his early internet career where he tactlessly made a rap cover of a poem made by a rape and human trafficking victim, which is probably one of the best examples of his lack of empathy and social skills.

Street Racing Scene

Street Racing Scene is a self-indulgent mess of a song about his non-existent racing career. Despite the fact this song doesn't rhyme a single time, it still is the best song - and arguably thing - that Cyraxx has ever produced.

Ey yo, here we go! Light 'em up boys! Rev those engines! Let's go! Rev those engines here we go!

Cruising around town with nowhere to go

Cruising around town just me and my homies

Hitting in with the drift scene hitting up the drag scene

Doing everything that we gotta do to get our names on here in the street racing scene

Going fast as we can, got that ass 15

Looking real up town with that nice ass drift pack

Got that lambo with that motherfuckin' underglow, looking real mean god-damn

Chevy TAHoE with that motherfuckin' lift kit, everybody wanna face me, it's me and my crew

Doing what we gotta do here on the street racing scene, who the fuck do you think you are, can't battle me

See you on the drift track with Vaughn Gittin Jr. right behind me

Call me the motherfucking DK of the drift scene

You can't even catch me ain't no street I'm lost up on me and my team, me and my homies

Keep it underground where it should be the, underground racing is where we are

We run the scene, I've been running the scene since I was 16

Ain't nobody stopping me whenever I see red and blue lights in my rearview, hit the nothing never look back

Live by the street code

Die by the wheel and I'm gone

I was pulling by the legendary wheel, die by the wheel is all I've known

Me and homies cruising around in the street scene

Ain't nobody doing it better than me or my team

The underground racing is where is that for me, keeping it stream a hundred all the time

Live by the street scene 100 percent underground for me

Wonderwall

In May of 2023, Cyraxx, recorded himself doing a cover of the song "Wonderwall" by Oasis on a Kick stream after his viewers nagged him to sing it despite Cyraxx hating the song. This cover is quite possibly Cyraxx's worst cover ever.

He put a demon voice filter on to hide how bad his singing voice is, and as a result, his weird screeches clash with Oasis' music, which is a Britpop band. Cyraxx clearly didn't memorize the lyrics as well, as throughout the cover, he misses almost every verse and chorus. What didn't cross Cyraxx's mind when covering Wonderwall was that Wonderwall is infamous for narcissistic amateurs loving the song and singing it horribly - this joke predictably went over Cyraxx's head

Sound of Silence

One song that Cyraxx has sung on more than one occasion is Disturbed's rendition of "Sound of Silence" by Simon and Garfunkel. In each cover, Cyraxx's piss poor vocals are in plain view for everyone to hear. To top it off Cyraxx more than likely has no idea that this is a Simon and Garfunkel song and thinks that Disturbed were the true writers of the song

Music Taste

Like all things relating to Cyraxx, His taste in music is fucking atrocious. Many of the artists that Cyraxx listens too often come from the same genres: Nu Metal, Metalcore, Screamo, Emo Rap, MAGA Rap, Pop Punk and Butt Rock (all of these are awful music genres). Some of the artists he has been known to listen to besides Linkin Park are also noteworthy specifically: Trapt, Tom Macdonald, Falling In Reverse and Pantera due to them having racist views or known for pushing racist ideologies which isn't too far from how Cyraxx is as a person

Singing

Cyraxx claims that he specializes in metal screaming. This is a singing technique that requires extensive skills and training, as it puts significant strain of the vocal chords. Cyraxx, however, attempts to replicate the effect by tightening up his throat to produce a raspy voice, resembling more of a guttural scream or a vocalization reminiscent of someone being choked.[12]

Although Cyraxx can follow the beat of a song to some extent, he is incapable of hitting any of the notes properly. Presumably due to this, he also makes copious use of autotune to compensate.

Artificial Intelligence

Gorillaz better watch out

Like many talentless hacks of his era, Cyraxx is heavily relying on AI to generate songs. As generative artificial intelligence became more powerful and readily available to the wider public, Cyraxx has been putting less and less of his own work into "his" music, instead letting the AI do everything for him. When criticized on the fact that he is not actually creating his own music, Cyraxx will get defensive about his "process", or attempt to twist his lazy use of AI into an avant-garde creative decision of combining "human and machine". Furthermore, Cyraxx generally uses free or very outdated models, and never reviews the result before showing it to the world, leading to laughably janky, unstable compositions.

The most egregious example is his "Hollow Frequency" animated band, where both the music and visuals were created using AI. The result, naturally, was a feverish slop of broken, looped animations and bland lyrics screamed over computer-generated music.[13][14]

Cyraxx still had the gall of threatening trolls of legal repercussion and DMCA strikes if they ever so dare to use his "intellectual property" without permission, despite the fact that AI-generated content cannot be copyrighted.[15]

Instruments

Cyraxx owns a whole orchestra of instruments bought for him by Sally over the years. However, he has never bothered learning how to properly play any of them. The biggest issue in that regard is that Cyraxx will tinker with one instrument for some time, and promptly abandon it for another. When given the advice to learn the basics one instrument at a time, Cyraxx rebuffs by saying that it would "hold back" his creativity, and that he is deliberately ignoring basics to create something entirely new from the ground up. Speaking of which, Cyraxx's narcissistic delusion that he is a "musical genius" is enough to convince him that the noises he makes with those instruments are instant masterpieces that need no further improvement, therefore seeing no use in even trying to practice.

Electric Guitar

Cyraxx owns multiple guitars, either gifted to him by enablers or bought for cheap. His main guitar of choice which has been nicknamed "The Scabbicaster" by some is a Glarry GST HSS which is an incredibly cheap clone of a Fender Stratocaster.

Like every other instrument that the Goblin touches he can't play at all. Anytime Cyraxx performs a cover of a song on his guitar he usually either completely ignores how the song is supposed to be played or he plays to the vocals. His playing technique revolves around him using only using his index and middle fingers akin to that of Django Reinhardt whereas Django had lost the ability to use his ring and pinkie fingers due to a fire and was already an experienced guitarist, Cyraxx is merely a fucking idiot. During one of his first streams with the guitar, Cyraxx accidentally dropped it (Glarrys are incredibly lightweight by the way) which unironically made a better sound then when Raxx is actually playing.

Acoustic Guitar

In a few Pre-Marty Era livestreams Cyraxx is seen playing a completely different guitar, more than likely purchased by Sally. The guitar appears to be some sort of cheap Nylon String classical guitar. The fate of this guitar is currently unknown with some believing he simply broke one or 2 strings and couldn't be fucked to figure out how to change the strings.

Ocarina

Gifted by Lava, Cyraxx damaged it by throwing it against the wall and eventually broke it.

Harmonica

Cyraxx owns an harmonica which he used on few of his covers. Cyraxx seems to struggle with producing notes, leading to a monotonous, barely melodic result.[16]

Violin

Unknown fate, probably destroyed.

Keyboard

Cyraxx owns multiple synthesizer keyboards, which he generally uses to play piano. Keen-eyed observers have noticed that Cyraxx never uses the black keys, suggesting a nigh-complete lack of understanding about the instrument. When commenters started pointing out this detail, Cyraxx attempted to save face by saying it was a deliberate choice of style that only his "genius" musical mind would understand.

Didgeridoo

Cyraxx owns a Didgeridoo, a traditional aboriginal wind instrument which he never bothered to learn how to properly play. Instead of producing the instrument's distinctive droning sound by vibrating his lips, he attempts to vocalize notes in the instrument's chamber, producing a childish, amateur cacophony.[17]
