Wifiskeleton

Simms was born on July 24, 2003,^[10] in Atlanta, Georgia, United States.^[11]

In the late 2010s, Simms gained popularity through a YouTube commentary channel under the name Cyrus.^[11][12][13] Around this time, Simms began writing music under the aliases Fuxkcy,^[12] Moody,^{[citation needed]} and Secretsaturdays.^[10] In the early 2020s, Simms began performing hyperpop^[14] and sigilkore songs^[15][14] under the alias *67 (or simply Star).^[16][11] His work gained attention on streaming platforms and social media during the COVID-19 pandemic.^[5][17][18]

Simms later gained recognition under the names Wifiskeleton and Skeleton Archive^[16][17] (both stylized in lowercase), with Wifiskeleton being his primary alias. As Wifiskeleton, he co-founded the underground collective GothAngelz with fellow artists and collaborators Keepsecrets, Witchbox and Mandy.^[17][10] Coverage of his work during this period describes his music as incorporating elements of emo rap,^[7] lo-fi,^[14] guitar music,^[16] and hip-hop, creating a "digital underground"^[7] sound. According to AllMusic, his lyrics often explored "extremely depressive themes of death, despair, self-harm, and other joyless topics".^[11][5][19] In 2024-2025, he released over three mixtapes, including Lovefool, Suburban Daredevil and Pony.^[17][20] Wifiskeleton released new music prolifically, but would sometimes remove large portions of his back catalog from streaming platforms without notice.^[11] In 2025, Pitchfork published an article by writer Kieran Press-Reynolds which stated that Simms had allegations of grooming circulating online shortly before his death.^[8]

On May 5, 2025, Simms died in Miami, Florida, due to a drug overdose.^[11][8] The report of his death was initially shared by fellow artist Witchbox in the GothAngelz Discord server,^[3] stating that he was "already cold" when police and medics arrived.^[17][18] On the day before he died, he appeared on an Instagram livestream in which he made statements indicating suicidal intent: "I’m finna pull up to the gas station and post addy on my story. If you wanna pull up and kill me, it’s the time to do it. If you wanna get a flick with me, it’s the time to do it. I’mma overdose tonight and kill myself", though he later insisted that he made the remark in jest.^[2][17][5]

On May 7, 2025, Hallwood Recordings and 9th St. Records confirmed Simms' death in a statement reported by Billboard, describing him as "a rare soul whose art, energy and presence moved so many."^[20] In the days following his death, Simms' Apple Music and Spotify accounts were compromised, resulting in the unauthorized upload of a track titled "Cinco de Mayo Was a Nightmare Lol". The upload was later removed. ^[21]

According to Pitchfork writer Kieran Press-Reynolds, Wifiskeleton became a stylistic reference point within the "online indie music boom" and "new wave of SoundCloud 'indie rock'".^[8] Artist Ayowitty stated that a new wave of musicians were making "Wifiskeleton type songs" and replicating his sound to the point of cliche,^[8] with fellow artist Bunii adding that artists imitating Wifiskeleton's sound were popular across TikTok.^[8]
