Jonathan Paul Fredrick Schnell,[1] known professionally by his stage name Quix (stylised in all caps),[2] is a New Zealand DJ and electronic music producer.

Personal Life and Career

Born and raised in Auckland, Schnell grew up in a Christian home. At a young age, his mother home-schooled him for a period of time. He started experimenting with music when he was 9-years-old by playing in bands, and started getting into EDM when he was 14. He adopted the moniker Quix after translating his last name, which means "fast" in German.

In 2017 he dropped his debut EP titled "Heaps Cool".[3] One of his most popular songs is his collaboration with Boombox Cartel "Supernatural", which has received millions of plays and was released on the label Mad Decent.[4] He also has a collab with Alison Wonderland titled "TimeE".[5][6][7]

Schnell considers himself Christian due to his upbringing and currently goes to the Hillsong Church along with his wife Olivia. Since 2020, he has also been a part of the electronic music duo known as Tiger Drool, alongside fellow record producer, Robert Vincent Hughes.
