ALEXANDRA NORTON, THE VOICE AND SONGSTRESS BEHIND ECHOS, WEAVES HER MUSIC FROM THE THREADS OF HER OWN TUMULTUOUS JOURNEY. "IT'S A SANCTUARY," SHE CONFIDES, HER VOICE A BLEND OF HAUNTING VULNERABILITY AND QUIET STRENGTH, “A PLACE TO MAKE SENSE OF MY PAIN AND GIVE IT A FINAL RESTING PLACE.” WITHIN THE LABYRINTH OF HER WORDS, SHE DELVES INTO THE DARKEST RECESSES OF HUMAN EXISTENCE—ABUSE, SELF-INFLICTED WOUNDS, AND THE RELENTLESS DANCE WITH THOUGHTS OF OBLIVION. YET, AMIDST THE SHADOWS, SHE ALSO TOUCHES ON THEMES OF RESILIENCE, INTROSPECTION, AND EMPATHY. "IT'S ABOUT EMBRACING THE FULL SPECTRUM OF EMOTIONS," SHE REFLECTS, “CREATING A SPACE TO FEEL, RELEASE, AND HEAL." WITH THREE ALBUMS ALREADY TO HER NAME, HER LATEST ENDEAVOR PROMISES TO BE HER MOST CHERISHED WORK YET—A TESTAMENT TO HER EVOLUTION AS AN ARTIST AND HER JOURNEY—A JOURNEY THAT RESONATES WITH LISTENERS SEEKING SOLACE AND CONNECTION AMID THEIR STRUGGLES. HER VOICE, LIKE A SPECTRAL ECHO, INVITES LISTENERS TO EXPLORE THE DEPTHS OF THEIR EMOTIONS, RATHER THAN BURY THEM IN SILENCE.

Sworn enemy of the genre police, Essenger spawned into the metaverse in 2018, becoming the ultimate nexus to unite fans of retrowave, hip hop, and electronic dance music. With lyrics ranging from emotive anthems to sci- plots, his formidable powerhouse of synths and infectious vocal hooks and are no match for the alternative music scene. Essenger signed with independent label FiXT Neon in 2020 with his debut album After Dark, followed by various Monstercat collaborations and setting the stage to bring his live act into virtual reality and perhaps soon, a city near you.
