BENCH TALK #197 - Hoxxoh - The artist who paints with sound waves

In this episode, we dive into the vibrant world of Miami-based muralist HoxxoH, as he shares his creative evolution from high school musician to one of the pioneers of Miami’s street art movement.

We talk about how architecture shaped his approach to design, what it was like working with El Mac, and how projects like Primary Flight and Wynwood Walls changed the landscape of public art.

HoxxoH opens up about the role of music in his art, the tools he builds himself, and how he balances the controlled environment of the studio with the raw unpredictability of mural work.
