Keitrix

Rejn better known as "Keitrix" is a producer and vocalist from the UK. She goes by any pronouns and often works in any genre she deems best to express herself. Xe has been making music since 2018 and shows no intent on stopping, with 2023 looking to be vae's biggest year yet.

## **KEITRIX LORE // BACKSTORY**

In 2017, Rejn was forced into attending an after-school club; music tech was the one that had his interest. In the club, they used a mix of Logic Pro X and Garageband, while at home Keitrix messed around with a plethora of browser daws; notably Soundtrap and Music Maker Jam. She eventually landed on a trial of FL 11, and from there she started making music under the cleverly well thought alias "Mr Joebeats". A name that not only is cringe to read, but deadnames her, so it's like, double cringe.

Keitrix had also used the alias to record gameplay videos on her phone, or upload short "funny" videos to her YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@mrjoebeats3297) which garnered no attention because why would you watch any of this? Rejn continued to post to this channel up until sometime in 2020.

On January 21st, 2018. Rejn's dad did the only based thing he will ever do for Rejn; bought her Fruity Loops Mobile for her 13th birthday. This is the moment, this was where Rejn's life was irreversibly changed. As a 13 year old depressed cishet who was questioning who he was while in her second year of high school; music suddenly became her escape. Keitrix began making pieces of music everyday, but didnt post anything until April 7, 2019, under the name JoDed (a condensation of her deadname and her legal surname) with the song "Acid" (https://youtu.be/VQEgeMWkV74).

Acid, much like almost all of her music as Joded have either been privated or completely deleted, which makes archiving Keitrix's music very difficult. (especially when i dont have the files anymore LMAOOO).

Rejn would go under Joded for about a year before rebranding to TRIBRVTE (later Tribryte) - as well as starting the "Sorre" (later illyria; Skye Mortem; Skyeee5554) and "Jayka" (later Drowning; 16GHOSTS) aliases - in early 2020. Deleting her old releases and starting from scratch with a remix of Collixion - Charge which would garner almost 600 streams on soundcloud. Rejn had also joined "Prism," a group of producers who would create content (tutorials, sample packs, podcasts, instagram posts) aimed towards beginners. During this time Rejn had put out one sample pack, "DOOM VOL. 1" which was meant to be part of a trilogy, which of course never happened as Keitrix would leave sooner than she had planned due to unforeseen kicks in the road; depression and art block.

It was around this time that Rejn joined "veil." under Jayka and later as TRIBRVTE, in an effort to get back into creating music. veil. was a collective of artists founded by NVFNAL and HVSTAGE (later known as Nørth), consisting of: Easy Password, Haxor, SAYLED, Sonikyu, Hitury, He4xa and PTSD. The collective would release 3 songs with a fourth one never being finished, sadly however, all songs from the collective have been deleted from the internet and there exists no archive of them. This is due to not only infighting in the group as well as two of the artists quitting music, but also from the youtube channel that promoted the songs being deleted. Rejn would once again find herself leaving a group of people she had felt comfortable with due to aforementioned clashing.

CW// abuse / sexual harassment

The year is 2021. The corona virus is in it's peak in January, countries are locked down and travel restricted. For many people, this is the worst year of their lives and for Rejn; it is mostly certainly a contender. From facing breakup on her birthday, being manipulated by friends and lovers, to being groomed. Through all of this though, Keitrix would meet someone in August that would go on to be her girlfriend (basically) ever since. and added Win would be joining Neoluminum in November 21st, even BIGGER win is that Rejn's egg finally hatched in December!!!

2022 would be the year of growth for Rejn: leaving toxic communities, cutting out people who affected her health poorly, distancing herself from racist and transphobic individuals. In addition, Rejn would finally quit the Tribryte and Skyeee5554 aliases, beginning the Keitrix name and getting her name out there in the scenes that mattered most to her. She started playing more URL fests (her first was with Neoluminum in December, celebrating christmas in the Nawtystep discord server) and played sets for the sleepy.zone radio hosted by Blissom. She helped form SCXVRGE and Internet Insomniacs, a dubstep trio and a hyperpop-adjacent band/collective respectively. This was Keitrix's year to become a better person and associate with better people.

And i can say with confidence that i have. I have learned a lot about wrong and right. i've noticed my mistakes in the past and i spent last year doing my best to correct them, as of writing this it is January the 7th, 2023. i have the whole year to show you everything i've been working on, and proving not just to you, but to myself, that i AM a better person now. i have specifically left out details of any drama i was involved in and for good reason, they dont define who i am now. i hope everyone will still enjoy my company for the time i am alive 🤍
