Meet US3R, the Seattle electronic artist who is hacking pop music. The California native relocated to Downtown Seattle in 2017 and quickly began crafting his unique brand of electronic pop music. Like a combination of Justice, Daft Punk, The Weeknd, Billie Eilish, and Disclosure, his music feels familiar and boundary-pushing at the same time.
He describes his sound as hacking pop music because he loves creating unconventional sounds and weaving them into slightly dystopian lyrical themes. In his recent album “INFLUENCE”, US3R created a stunning grungy electronic 11-song concept album that explores social commentary about modern love, acceptance, and belonging in the era of social media, where people's worth get's measured by the number of likes they get.
In February 2020, US3R embarked on his INFLUENCE Tour, playing shows across the USA and Canada in support of his album. Due to the pandemic, he was forced to come home and go into quarantine, where he began re-imagining his approach as an artist. Soon after coming home, US3R created used this new way of life as an opportunity to create a hybrid of live performance and visual art installation by bringing in a full tour lighting rig into his home and then layering the video with live edited video. Since then, US3R used his time at home to reflect on his music and was able to produce several powerful new singles that demonstrates his versatility in crossing genres and pushing boundaries.
