BIOGRAPHY

If you ever found yourself cruising through downtown LA and Southern California’s meticulous freeway systems at 3am, try cranking up alan vuong’s music in the car.

Reminiscent of the nebulous era of neon-noir, alan vuong’s nu-psychdelic tinted brand of r&b sounds effortlessly excellent. He cares less about weaving genres–though he is certainly masterful at doing so–alan vuong attempts to capture feelings that persist through past, present and future. Whether it is unrequited love, a fading illusion, flickering hope or an unflinching desire, he has the ability to paint just the right sonic dreamscape, that feeling of well, sometimes, it just doesn’t work out.

Always referencing his roots in Soundcloud-era rap and R&B, with sparing and intentional uses of synth wave, this new era of alan vuong is avidly more psychedelic and indie-inspired. His upcoming EP, HEAVEN SENT ME, sounds undeniably Southern California. At just 22, alan vuong’s music is scarily good at capturing the cyclical nature of love and that dazed and confused feeling–so good that it has won the hearts of millions. “DEEP IN YOUR SOUL,” the first single off of the upcoming project has amounted over 34 million streams on Spotify–and that’s despite the fact that alan vuong has done this all alone: no label, no distribution, no management, just a one man show from the very beginning.

His ability to produce one hit after another makes alan vuong one of this generation’s most anticipated hit machines, yet this is only the beginning. With the upcoming project, the hazy dreamscapes become something cohesive and a world of its own. With his falsetto vocals taking center stage, chasing the dreams and phantoms of the past with audacious production experiments, he is saying the things that have been left unsaid. This time around, the mostly-anonymous musician that has soundtracked the lives of millions wants you to put the spotlight on him. You can catch alan vuong on the road this year. His debut hometown show in Santa Ana sold out weeks in advance. With Los Angeles and New York headline dates in the books, this time around, it’s no longer just about the feelings: alan vuong wants to be seen.
