Emperor X (real name Chad Matheny) is a former Jacksonvillian who plays one-man pop songs, sometimes with little more than an acoustic guitar and a port-a-mic. Typical descriptions of his sound often include the words "electronica" and "indie". In live shows, Emperor X usually includes motley and mercurial backing musicians, most often Matheny's friends and acquaintances. Most Emperor X songs riff on Matheny's life, usually straying into the realm of the future or his obsession with mass transit (see "Everyone in Jacksonville", "Right to the Rails" and "Edgeless"). Due to an eye injury earlier in his life, Matheny wears thick glasses and cannot drive. Emperor X's official website is www.emperorx.net.
