An underground synthpop artist.
The story of a boy from a small community in Portugal, once expected to become a religious leader, now a heretic that fled to London in search of a creative output, Alex Born creates music as a distant memory to his past. Back in 2017, he started producing music in his own bedroom at the age of 16 with soundscapes from a simpler time, exploring industrial montages with surrealist elements. Now, the vision is greater than ever, creating sounds that redefine the meaning of pop and electronic music, akin to someone trying to draw something from their mind, his recent projects aim for a looming feeling that something is not entirely correct. Drawing inspiration from internet culture, liminal spaces and video game ambient music, alongside pop music from the late 90s and 2000s, these have been key elements in shaping his artistic identity, relating his lived experiences with fantastical stories, drawing religious undertones in the lyrics of his tracks, parallels to the subconscious and selt-acceptance signalling.
