Sound of the Week: Nick Hissom – Hot Boy Things

This week, we are turning our ears to the electrifying sounds of Nick Hissom, also known as “Hizzy.” This UK-born American pop artist is making waves with his latest track, “Hot Boy Things.” Hissom has a remarkable ability to blend bold sexuality, raw lyrics, and conceptual presentation, creating a distinct musical universe that is hard to resist.

From a young age in the UK, Nick was influenced by iconic artists like Britney Spears, Daft Punk, and Michael Jackson. His sound is a delightful fusion of early 2000s European dance and pop, layered with fresh American beats. “Classy, with a little yeehaw,” is how he describes his unique style, which truly captures the essence of his musical vision.

Nick’s persona goes beyond his music; his strong visual identity melds sex appeal, cutting-edge concepts, and theatrical flair. His artistry offers a visceral pop presence that demands attention, and it’s no surprise that he is currently hot on the radar across streaming platforms, social media, and touring circuits.


Hissom, an openly gay recording artist, reignited the music scene with his comeback single, “So Cool Babe.” Following that, his cheeky club anthem, “Sexify,” addressed the media’s objectification of him and peaked at impressive chart positions, including #10 on the UK Music Week Commercial Pop Chart and #3 on Amazon Music Dance, amassing over 11 million views across platforms since its release on September 26, 2026.

Now, stepping boldly into his “hot boy” era, Nick’s latest single, “Hot Boy Things,” is an exhilarating experience. The release is accompanied by a choreography-intensive music video that serves as a scintillating electro-pop explosion. With aggressive synths and a pulsating bassline, the track showcases provocative lyrics and visually stunning elements that encompass fashion, dance, and performance.
