HjNX is a Toronto-based duo fronted by multi-instrumentalist Gregory Ambrose Calderone and supported by co-writer/co-producer Nicemark. Calderone has contributed to North America’s music and film industries since 2005. A seasoned guitarist/keys player, Calderone turned to electronic-based songwriting that largely utilizes programmed drums and digital synthesizers when he launched genre-bending studio/label Apt.
