IAMX is the solo musical project of Chris Corner, who first came to prominence as a founding member of the British electronic band Sneaker Pimps in the 1990s. Launched in 2004, IAMX originated as a deeply personal project for Corner, allowing him to express his own unique musical vision and emotional landscapes without the constraints of a band dynamic. The project's name is a juxtaposition of 'I Am' with the variable 'X,' symbolizing the core idea of personal transformation and the constant shift of identity.

IAMX's music is a rich tapestry of dark cabaret, moody electropop, and introspective synth-rock, combined with hauntingly confessional lyrics and an intense, theatrical stage presence. Over the years, IAMX has garnered a loyal fan base through a prolific output of albums and a reputation for immersive live performances. Among the array of remixes, EPs, and live recordings, tracks like "Thanatos," "Fault Lines," and "Bernadette" encapsulate the distinctive sound of IAMX's later work. With a production style that is intricate and avant-garde, IAMX continues to evolve its sound, delving into themes of politics, sex, mental illness, and existential angst, all while maintaining a signature blend of electronic and alternative music that defies easy categorization.
