User:Impostor - Musical artist

Impostor is a DIY / home studio cyber-funk artist who combines elements of electronic music with funk, disco, hip-hop, gospel and synth-pop influences. Impostor is an alter ego. The artist has chosen anonymity to keep the attention focused on the music. In December 2016, Impostor self-released the debut album 'Storytelling' on Way Past Cool Records. This album was a proof of concept project to see if an album could be released from end-to-end without using the conventional industry process (i.e. the album was recorded produced and mastered entirely on iPad/ Mac Air). This was swiftly followed by the EP release of 'Wake-Up America' in 2017 which was released in response to socio-political turmoil of recent times. Impostor then self- released 2 more albums ('Imagine' - 2018, 'Road To Damascus' – 2019) continuing the unconventional mode of recording. The first three albums form a musical trilogy charting the journey to spiritual enlightenment.

Impostor has since completed and self-released the 4th album, 'The Love Above'- 2020 on Way Past Cool Records.

Impostor is well known/distinguishable for the branding of the red star in the artist's name/logo.
