Quami.xyz – GoDaddy customer (United States)
From chart-topping superstars to open-mic regulars, all artists and musicians know the importance of their online presence. The internet is one of their most important tools to promote their work, and building a fanbase means that fans need to be able to find and follow them online. This week’s #WebsiteWednesday features an artist who takes that principle to heart by seamlessly integrating his stage with his domain name, making them one and the same: Quami.xyz.
Quami.xyz is a Toronto-based musical artist who’s pushing the boundaries of R&B with his grandiose melodies and tight stream of consciousness narrative. Compared to the likes of Frank Ocean and Kendrick Lamar by fans, online music publication Pilerats writes that he is “both something different but easily accessible, straddling that fine line between left-field and commercial that’s particularly hard to nail.”
Quami.xyz released his debut album, Et Cetera, last August, garnering rave reviews for first single and video, “Clementine”. Listened to over 250k times on Spotify alone, Earmilk says he “croons his *** **** heart out” in the song and “the visual component only furthers the notion that he is an artist, an artist that you need on your radar”. Our favorite from the album? Xyz (the anthem).
Head to Quami.xyz to watch the full “Clementine” music video, and stream Et Cetera now on Spotify, Apple Music, and Soundcloud. To follow Quami.xyz for his latest news and upcoming tour dates, find him on Instagram @quami.xyz and Twitter @quamixyz.
