Marcel Everett, better known as XXYYXX, is an electronic musician and producer from Orlando, Florida.

According to The Needle Drop, XXYYXX's music contains "every new sound sprouting up in electronic music". Everett himself described his music as "Doing drugs on a freeway ... underwater." in an interview with Relief in Abstract Records.[9] His style was also likened to Clams Casino, Zomby and James Blake and The Weeknd.[4][10] His musical influences include Lapalux, Star Slinger, Disclosure and Shlohmo.[7]

A music video for his song, About You, which has over 6 million views was directed by Jeffrey Vash.[11]

XXYYXX has also made remixes for artists such as Tinashe and Usher.[12][13][14]

It was announced in January 2013 that XXYYXX would be one of the headliners of the San Francisco Noise Pop festival in February, 2013[15] [16] . Noise Pop is a San Francisco concert series and festival inaugurated in 1993.[17]
