Aléxein Mégas

I arose as a rock guitarist. When I began I had strong will and I was thrilled to emulate my favourite bands at the time: Slipknot’s smashing riffs, System Of A Down’s intensity, Pearl Jam’s virtuoso solos, it was just the top for me.
I spent so many hours in my days studying electric guitar as an autodidact, trying always to overcome my own limits.

After some years, 13 more or less, electronic music, although it entered my life quietly, it began to fascinate me in a way that I never thought possible. Artists like Bonobo, Nicolas Jaar, Jon Hopkins and Trentemoller broke through my rough and hardened rocker heart, becoming reference points but mostly a joy for my ears and my musical inspiration.

My songs are born essentially from a disengaged mood, beauty of nature, my strong desire for freedom and my visceral attachment to optimism: they lead me to look for the positive side, always bringing out good from bad.

Sometimes the problems I face and the experiences derived help me to write better, just like those more touching that easily associate states of mind and I often prefer, as a meditative guy, to isolate myself in order to assimilate and understand better any stimulus coming from the outside.

When I need to idealise the emotions I gathered, I only need to embrace my guitar, look at the white and long keyboard and close my eyes. Everything else is spontaneous, like I am controlled by something remote that follows me through writing my lyrics and, most of all, my music.
