Somewhere outside the city limits of St. Louis, where Pink Floyd's psychedelic soundscapes collide with Jon Bellion's art pop, there lives Alesdi.
Born out of an eclectic blend of genres and the desire to defy categorization, Alesdi, crafts worlds all his own. He stands at the crossroads of musical exploration, with his roots firmly grounded in the audacious spirit of indie and psych-rock, and his sights set on the future reaches of pop and hip-hop.
In the midst of a global pandemic in 2020, Alesdi released his first solo project. A set of raw and introspective entries depicting the struggles and healing of an artist during unprecedented times. The project was well received by those who heard it, but its limited reach left the ‘Catharsis’ artist with more to be desired. He knew he had more to give. Unsatisfied with being lost in the crowd, he was compelled to evolve.
Thus began his two-year retreat from the public eye. A retreat to live, learn, and realign the direction of his journey. This period of introspection and experimentation for the artist brought forth a new sound - rooted in dance and pop music but woven with the more organic souls of psych-rock and hip-hop. This fusion of sounds gradually influenced by Alesdi’s recognized inspiration from legends like Pink Floyd, Jon Bellion, Kendrick Lamar, and The Weeknd, gave birth to a new aesthetic the St. Louis artist coined 'Neo-Nostalgia'.
Now, Alesdi has returned to the public eye preparing to take listeners on a multi-medium, artistic journey built around this self-coined aesthetic. This is not just about the music; it is about creating a world. A world where listeners are not just passive bystanders but active explorers inside the mind of the questionable protagonist in Alesdi and his collaborator’s handcrafted dimension.
The American Dream artist goes out of his way to encourage all those who interact with his work to explore, love, and grow endlessly. He has set out to build an artistic sanctuary where listeners can feel like they belong. His mission is to bring everyone on a journey into this world, into the city of Home. To all the listeners, supporters, and fellow explorers out there, Alesdi extends an invitation… Strap in. Stay weird. And welcome home.
