'''Neffex''' (stylized as in all caps) is an American music project by Bryce Savage (born December 30, 1992) and, until 2021, Cameron Wales. They produced remixes and original songs characterized by a mixture of electronic and rap genres. While still a duo, Savage wrote the lyrics, produced the tracks, and sang the songs while Wales mixed and mastered them. They have released most of their songs royalty-free (under CC BY license) which have featured in media by content creators globally.
