Pultixima

Pultixima is the solo musical project of Doug Cannon, an alternative artist based in Wilmington, Delaware, known for a rootsy, melancholic sound that blends rock and folk influences with a unique personal touch. The name "Pultixima" originates from a mythology tale Cannon once began writing about an overbearing idol, reflecting his interest in storytelling and creating a distinctive artistic identity. His music often explores themes of solitude and introspection, and he describes his creative process as immersing himself in loneliness on his own terms to find his sound. Over the years, he has built a following through intimate, emotionally resonant songs like "Enchanters," and he embraces collaborations as well as solo work to push his music into new territories.

Doug’s musical journey includes an early start playing in punk and metalcore bands during high school, which laid the foundation for his songwriting and instrumental skills. His sound today contrasts with his early days of loud, technical punk by focusing more on mood and narrative, often capturing deep, raw feelings. He cites a wide range of musical inspirations from his father’s classic rock record collection to the punk and hardcore scenes. Pultixima’s recent releases like "Fiction," "Minnesota Nights," and "Cold Heart" showcase his evolving style that still thrives on emotional depth and indie authenticity.
