*V*I*R*G*O* HAS CONTRIBUTED A COVER VERSION OF STEREOLAB'S SONG "MARGERINE MELODIE" FOR THE TRIBUTE COMPILATION "THE POLITICS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS", NOW AVAILABLE ON ITUNES!
..*V*I*R*G*O* takes both name and inspiration from the sign of his birth. True to the Zodiac, *V*I*R*G*O* is a keen observer of the world around him. His razor-sharp tongue cuts straight to the bone, and he is rarely at a loss for words. His music is a dark and sensual electro-fantasy.
A true groove scientist, *V*I*R*G*O* constantly seeks new sounds and innovative ways to create them. From these sounds, he weaves rich rhythmic and harmonic textures which carry intricate detail for the skilled listener. Still, his inspired vocals and unique stylistic approach are what set him apart. He approaches both the angry defiance of one track and the brooding sensuality of another with equal and unflinching sincerity. In the tradition of classical and blues singers, he has spent years honing his voice into a powerful and versatile instrument, singing with a unique style and a finesse that is undeniably rare.
Throughout his career, *V*I*R*G*O*'s inimitable live appearances have captivated audiences. His intense, impassioned performance style and over-the-top theatricality have been aptly called
'mesmerizing'.
*V*I*R*G*O* recently contributed a track to the Stereolab compilation album The Politics of Photosynthesis, available on iTunes. He is currently in the studio finishing his next TWO albums, "Red Black & Blue" and "Clarity".
