Oxis is the musical project of Los Angeles-based producer and singer-songwriter Valentina Cy, an independent artist known for a prolific output of intimate, DIY electronic pop often described as marine electronica. Debuting in 2023 with the single "Fish", Oxis quickly established a cohesive visual and thematic identity, naming nearly every song after an underwater creature and consistently featuring fish on the album covers of her numerically titled, self-released series (Oxis 1 through Oxis 8, with Oxis 9 announced for mid-2026).
