IN ALIGNMENT HOUSE OF WAX II HEADLINE TOUR HITTING 20 DATES ACROSS NORTH AMERICA

April 7, 2026 – Globally acclaimed producer and artist Wax Motif ushers in a new era of his career with his highly anticipated sophomore album, House of Wax II, arriving in tandem with a 20-date North American headline tour in celebration of his special release. The LP features marquee collaborations spanning global genres, seamlessly blending house, hip-hop, R&B, Brazilian funk, Latin, and more, showcasing Wax Motif’s rare ability to merge styles in a way few artists have ever achieved.

The album arrives as a bold, genre-defining statement, anchored by a dynamic tracklist that underscores his evolution as a global music force beyond dance music. The project opens with “You Forget” featuring rising R&B standout MAETA, known for her Roc Nation co-sign and collaborations with Kaytranada, setting an emotive, vocal-driven tone before moving seamlessly into groove-driven, club-floor standouts like “Touch It” and “Got Your Money,” records that carry Wax’s signature sound and instinct for crafting undeniable dancefloor anthems.

Across the album, Wax continues to tap into an impressive roster of collaborators, including R&B icons Ty Dolla $ign on “Bad & U Know It”, while three-time Grammy-winning powerhouse Jozzy delivers a standout performance on “What U Want.” Brazilian funk trailblazer MC Lan brings global energy to “Bota,” while hip-hop mainstay 24hrs and Latin crossover act Juos connect on the high-energy “Run It Up.”

Electronic collaborators further elevate the project, with DJ Jazzy Jeff, a pioneering, Grammy-winning icon, appearing on “Sync Button,” while the multi-platinum, GRAMMY-nominated ZHU joins forces with Camden Cox, one of dance music’s most in-demand vocalists, on “Sun Goes Down.” Rising singer-songwriter and producer Sarah De Warren, known for her breakout collaborations across the electronic space, adds a melodic edge to “Girl On Girl.”

Across House of Wax II, Wax Motif effortlessly bridges house, hip-hop, R&B, Brazilian funk, and Latin influences, crafting a cohesive yet globally expansive body of work. The album delivers records that hit with precision in the club while resonating far beyond, cementing his reputation as one of the most versatile producers today.

Wax Motif has established himself well beyond the album as a dynamic collaborator across both electronic and hip-hop, building strong creative relationships with artists and producers Kanye West and Timbaland. Following the success of his debut album House of Wax, which amassed over 33 million streams, alongside years of global touring and high-profile collaborations, he now steps into this next chapter with a more focused and fully realized vision.
