Roxiny's "Hero" conjures an earthy darkness she promises to keep throughout her 2nd EP. Heady, spiritual, exploring new textures with every song, unfolding like some sort of beautiful ritual. The video for "Hero," directed by Shan Nicholson, was shot in the Dominican Republic, Roxiny's country of origin and backdrop to most of her visual work. This time, at night, in the ocean. The song speaks to a new kind of hero, one whose strength comes from intuition rather than force. Hero swells and stretches from deeply vulnerable to fiercely unapologetic. It's evident, this is one for the girls. - HYPETRAK

"Life never seems to follow the path that we have projected. While some of us may see ourselves doing one thing, life has a way of making you try another. Roxiny, a Dominican singer/songwriter knows of the universe and its little tricks. After touring with Sony records as a member of the girl band Jzabehl, and poised to take over the Latin and English community simultaneously, the group was disbanded and her whole life had to change course.

Roxiny says the experience was “the best thing that has ever happened to me.” There were struggles along the way: “After I left Sony, suddenly all the money was gone.” She took that time to reflect on her life and allow the events that unfolded to inspire the music for her new EP. “Just being an artist, there is nothing worse than being suffocated [when] the true beauty of art is expression.”

Her most recent single, “Cheree,” a Suicide cover, is about a boy and the love that followed their first encounter. “I was on a date with this guy and he put on a song and it became the theme song for the relationship. I wanted the song to express the magical yet gritty feelings of the night. The feeling that everything is possible.” After the song was spread throughout the Internet and radio waves, members of Suicide gave her the nod or approval. “That meant so much to me.”

“When I write it comes from a very visual place. It is almost as if I can see the video in my mind.” The film is a compilation of vintage footage that shows both the romanticized and hidden sides of New York City, as well as a few of Roxiny’s interactions with the cityscape."- GuySpy - GuySpy

"There continues to be an incredible amount of talent coming out of New York City. One of the NYC-based artists that caught our ear recently is a singer named Roxiny.
The Dominican singer has an EP coming out on March 20th called QOYA. The project’s first single is the sultry “CHEREE.”
The instant you play the song, the first thing you’ll notice is Roxiny’s voice: It’s smoky, jazzy and has almost a spooky tone to it.
As for the video, it features Roxiny around New York City, while old school clips of the city pop up.
The song and the video are both quite good.
For more info on her, check out her site, Roxiny, and look out for her EP, QOYA."- Global Grind - Global Grind

"La comparaison à Lana Del Rey sera surement facile me direz vous, mais l’univers de Roxiny, sa voix et son nouveau clip pour le titre Cheree s’approche fortement de ce registre.
