IAMX is the British electro artist Chris Corner's solo project. Corner began their successful music career in the trip-hop band Sneaker Pimps in the 1990s. After branching out into a solo career, the artist released his IAMX debut, "Kiss & Swallow," in 2004. The sound of the IAMX project combines electronic music, dark-toned synth-rock, and industrial elements. Corner's wide-ranging voice and distinctive music production have drawn comparisons to Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, and Placebo. Themes of sexuality, eroticism, and androgyny, which are central to the lyrics, draw deeply from Chris Corner's personal life and resonate with listeners through their openness. The idea of breaking traditional gender roles is also present in IAMX's visual expression, alongside the thought-provoking lyrics.
