Viral Sensation “1STNAMEDIZ” is a Sonic Wichita Wizard

DATA-X’s Curation Lands in three specific sound pockets “Intense” (i-Type), “Cinema” (C-Type) & “Vibe” (V-Type)

Listening to him is like entering into a rare audio tunnel: there are jets flying by left and right, drums are going off at the bottom and his voice like an instrument, ripping through whatever you can hear sonically. His straightforward can’t-miss approach to songwriting coupled with a polished delivery system nets incredibly replay-worthy sonic mosaics as far as this writer is concerned.

Thankfully however, he is not just a studio perfectionist but rather an introspective 20-something looking to find meaning in a world saturated in mainstream narrative. His infamous internet-wide meme moment of him tearing through a Panic at the Disco! ensemble was coming from a place of haunted place self questioning: a ripe place for great tunes to come alive.

1STNAMEDIZ by DATA-X is a three pronged approach to listening as you can pick between “vibe” “intense” & “cinema” modes to run through his specifically curated online discography.

All three sound unique but the cinema mode (exclusively on YouTube right now) has the most rare tracks. Listen below for the “Cinema” (C-Type) formation.
