PopVoxX is believed to have been abandoned as a newborn somewhere in the rural hills
of Bulgaria. He was found & raised by a band of Gypsies who, over the next five years,
worked their way west across Europe. It was in the Tuscan hills of northern Italy where
the Gypsies left PopVoxX with a tiny sect of monks who had taken a lifelong vow of
silence. It was in this silence where, thanks to century old chants, the foundation for his
love of music was laid. This was also the place where he would learn of his destiny &
receive his name. PopVoxX (the Latin root vox populi literally translates to “voice of the
peopleâ€) became a title to which he would prove himself worthy in years to come.
At the ripe age of 13, PopVoxX was sent off by the monks in pursuit of his destiny. He
began walking his way across Europe in search of truth & reason. All of this time he
was documenting his life by writing lyrics & original music. As his love affair with music
blossomed, he rapidly became a noticeable fixture in the underground club scene of any
city he found himself in.
At the age of 18 PopVoxX had taught himself to speak English by listening to American
music. This was also the age he was given his first chance to perform. He took the
stage at an underground club in the coal mining town of Kiruna, Sweden & the legend of
PopVoxX was born. The never before seen energy bled from the stage and into the
crowd and his performance is still fondly referred to as “the night the mad silence
turned to rad violenceâ€. As the legend of PopVoxX grew in the European underground,
so did his legion of followers. All of this took place while he simultaneously and
intentionally avoided the mainstream. There were always rumors of his existence, but
rarely proof. He became underground music’s version of The Loch Ness Monster.
PopVoxX was to the underground, what Punk was to Rock & Roll. His fans even
branded his unique sound and storytelling prowess as “Pop/Hopâ€. But, with success
came a price. The more he performed, the more his popularity grew and so did his
chances of being exposed to the mainstream. The crowds became more
uncontrollable with every show and PopVoxX realized that drastic measures needed to
be taken. Then, on the eve of the new millennium while performing his song “PopVoxX Is
Dead†the legend disappeared from the stage, never to be seen or heard from
again...that is, until now.
After an eerie silence of over 8 years and in almost prophetic fashion, PopVoxX has
emerged from the depths of creativity with a renewed power & vigor. Claiming to have
cleansed his soul, he now feels ready to share his gifts with the world.
PopVoxX is after all the “voice of the peopleâ€...so, why not let that voice be heard.
