Sychosis, better known as Alexander Dias, was born on September 14, 1981, and hails from Hayward, Ca, a unusual suburb of San Francisco. Music has always played a large roll in his life; in early childhood, he jumped right into acting and singing at school plays, and at the age of seven joined the Golden Gate Boys Choir and Bell Ringers. An internationally known childrens choir, all students are given formal classical training in voice and music theory, and with them, Alex toured Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France and Italy. One very memorable concert was performing the New Years day Mass at St. Peters Basilica in Rome, an unprecedented opportunity for someone so young.
The San Francisco Bay Area is a musicians paradise, and even the high schools offer an array of musical activities. Alex took advantage of the many programs at Mt. Eden High School in Hayward, participating in the extremely intense choir program, including Mens and Concert Choirs as well as the Chamber Singers, Jazz Ensemble, and Show Choirs. Alex regularly competed on a statewide and national level, both with the choir and as a soloist.
It was during this time that he became aware of a second passion, the love of making and producing music. This love led him to a brief stint in the San Francisco State University Audio Production program. More importantly though, he learned how to DJ and became very involved in the San Francisco rave scene. As his love of electronic music scene continued to grow, Alex was pivotal in the start up of an all electronic music radio show, The Bounce, broadcasting from Chabot Community College. He also began producing independent electronic music very heavily, and is still creating and producing a fresh style of break beat, combining all of his varied and diverse musical influences.
