Huxley was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and grew up in New Jersey and Athens, Greece before moving to North Carolina to attend UNC-Chapel Hill.

This iteration of the group issued the album How to Rock: Ten Easy Lessons (Moonlight Records, 1980), again produced by Don Dixon, and then broke up.

Three of its tracks ("Double Our Numbers", "Guest Host for the Holy Ghost" and "Chance to Be Loved") were released as singles during that year.

Although the album received favorable reviews (Rolling Stone Magazine called it a "monumental debut"), it did not sell well[1] and this ended his association with Columbia.

In the meantime, he joined Electric Light Orchestra Part II in January 1999, replacing singer-guitarist Phil Bates, and he toured with them through the year.

Later in 2001 he recorded with The Orchestra for their album No Rewind, which featured four songs written or co-written by Huxley:

The second P. Hux studio album, Purgatory Falls, was a deeply personal and sometimes harrowing song cycle that chronicled the devastating experience of his wife's untimely death.

Huxley signed with Universal and a single, "I Loved Everything", reached #1 on Rolling Stone Magazine's Exclusive Download Chart.

Homemade Spaceship: The Music of ELO as Performed by P. Hux was awarded 2005 Tribute Album of the Year by Just Plain Folks, the world's largest online musicians community.

The album featured performances by McCartney guitarist Rusty Anderson, Go-Go's drummer Gina Schock, ELO/ELO Part II/The Orchestra violinist Mik Kaminski, and others.

The album's songs and sounds were hailed by well-known fans of Huxley, including Don Dixon, Al Stewart, McCartney guitarist Rusty Anderson and many more.
