I'm Siren313 aka Alex V, born 1974 in Detroit. Mom was born in Germany, etc. I grew up in SW Detroit in the 80s. My community was working class and very multicultural. I grew listening to Classic Rock, Motown, New Wave, Swing, Electro-Funk, and Early Hip Hop. I was also influenced by the music of the many cultures that expressed themselves in my community growing up. Incidentally, Jack White was a classmate of mine.
My first CD came out in 1995, but I put out tapes earlier than that and was even played on the radio as early as 1993. I published a few full length CDs and was featured on a string of compilation CDs in the 90s and 00s. I also scored and did the music direction for a cult movie called "Shadows on the Wall" which most notably featured the music of Stromkern.
I've collaborated with Gabe Gonzales from the PFUNK All-Stars, Lolly-Pop and Hard Electro guru ENDIF. I've played shows with Shiny Toy Guns, All the Pretty Horses, Caustic, Screaming Mechanical Brain and many others.
Now I live in Minneapolis. Since moving here I published the most recent and most popular CD in my catalog, "Trite Permission". Since then, a single, "Stop" has been released.
I do 99% of my recording in my home studio and I am unsigned. So if you like what you hear, please consider ordering a CD. I hope you enjoy the time you spend reviewing my work. Peace and Solidarity.
