Abandonment, though painful, reveals a stark and liberating truth: without the weight of others’ expectations, the individual is free to rise through sheer will. In the absence of support, self-reliance becomes a virtue, offering the chance to assert independence and shape one’s destiny without interference. To walk alone is not weakness but opportunity.
The philosophy of individualism celebrates the profound struggle of the self, highlighting the power of the mind and the pursuit of achievement independent of others. While the world may often call for support, solitude serves as a sacred space for self-reflection and the evaluation of one’s true worth. In these quiet moments, one can rise—not for the approval of others, but for one’s own sake. Abandonment by the world should not be perceived as a tragedy; instead, it can be a powerful invitation to assert oneself, drawing strength from inner abilities. True strength is uncovered when you acknowledge that you are your greatest asset. It is through this realization that genuine freedom and a fulfilling life truly begin.
Jacquelyn Dady, known as Nyxx, carves out her space with raw force in Gun. Like the fierce goddess from Greek myth, Nyxx stands crowned in darkness, exuding power, strength, and undeniable femininity through piercing lyrics and bold beats. Her presence is commanding, a storm gathering strength.
“Gun is an anthem of self-reliance, born from the struggle of feeling abandoned—an empowering reminder that you can rise alone,” says the artist. “The message is clear: you don’t need help or hindrance from others; your self-reliance is your greatest strength.”

Starting out as the fiery frontwoman for a high school pop-punk band, Nyxx transformed into a solo powerhouse, debuting with the single Wicked in 2013. It wasn’t until her 2016 EP Nightmare, however, that Nyxx truly defined her sound—producing each track in her Los Angeles apartment, every note a reflection of her own relentless drive.
After a long silence, she returned in 2023, roaring back with the dreamlike hearse and the feral intensity of her collaboration with MORIS BLAK on FERAL. Her much-anticipated EP, releasing this fall under SHVDOW Records, promises to show her evolution, a testament to her resilience and creative ferocity.
Gun, the fierce first single from Nyxx’s upcoming EP salt, strikes with sharp intensity. Produced by David Dutton (genCAB) and mixed by Walter Kazmier, the track pulses with raw emotion, tapping into themes of power and defiance. Nyxx, rooted in gothpop, channels boldness…and autonomy.
As she prepares to promote salt, Nyxx sets off on a 13-date tour, beginning November 2nd at QXT’s in Newark, New Jersey. She’ll be joined by Danny Blu, known for his theatricality and intensity, along with newcomers Die Sexual, whose edge promises to stir audiences.
