Celldweller, based in Detroit, Michigan, is the versatile outlet of the art… Read Full Bio ↴Celldweller, based in Detroit, Michigan, is the versatile outlet of the artist, performer, producer, songwriter, programmer, and remixer Klayton. It began as a producer pseudonym in the early 90’s, amongst his many other projects including Circle of Dust, Argyle Park, Brainchild and Angeldust, the latter with Criss Angel on vocals (later reissued and renamed simply as Criss Angel albums). Now, over a decade later, Klayton (born Scott Albert) uses the name to deliver his vision of progressively combining multiple genres of music. Taking a unique approach to mixing styles, Celldweller fuses the electronics of drum & bass, Electro and techno, with rock and orchestral elements, meshing the synthetic and the organic, darkness with beauty, into a cohesive blend entirely its own.
In 2003, Klayton independently released the self-titled debut Celldweller album, and reached 17 on the Billboard Internet Sales Chart. The album garnered Top 40 Metal Radio charting, and the track “I Believe You” reached 11 on the R&R Alternative Specialty Show Chart. The debut album also received 7 awards at the 2004 Just Plain Folks Music Awards, including: Producer of the Year and Album of the Year. Guest appearances included Jarrod Montague of Taproot and mixes by Ben Grosse and Grant Mohrman.
During Summer ‘06, Klayton co-wrote and performed the Theme Song to long-time friend Criss Angel’s A&E Television Show Mindfreak, co-produced the Mindfreak CD Soundtrack, created a remix to, co-starred in a music video for the theme song, and also made a cameo appearance on a Mindfreak episode. Incidently, Criss Angel was the one to dub Scott "Klay" because of his ability to shape sound as a sculptor molds clay.
Klayton’s fierce electronic programming & production skills have captured the minds of the electronic music world as seen in the full page feature of the February ‘06 edition of Keyboard Magazine and a recent appearance for Apple Computer’s Logic Pro audio software at Remix Hotel LA. Klayton has also received special attention from EQ Magazine & Keyboard Magazine as co-sponsors of the Celldweller Remix Competition v2.0 - Take It & Break It. The Take It and Break It competition is still on going, with voting on round 3 scheduled to end on Feb. 13th. CDs with the finalist and winning mixes are currently available (see information below).
Klayton has also captured the interest of the Film/TV industry after having licensed every track from the Debut Celldweller album. Credits include: “Spider-man 3 ”, “Doom”, “Mr. and Mrs. Smith”, and many other notables. Though his new album has yet to be released, he had already licensed "Birthright", the first single for that album, to Warner Brothers for usage in the Speedracer original trailer, www.speedracerthemovie.com. Birthright is currently available for free download from the Fixt Music Store, store.fixtmusic.com .
The Celldweller live show is a fusion of performance art, rave culture, and the raw energy of a rock show, entirely synchronized to projected video. Brought to life by members Klayton (Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion, Eyris, Programming), Dale Van Norman (Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar, Keyboards, Percussion, Backing Vocals), Kem (Bass, Guitars, Keyboards, Percussion, Backing Vocals) and Cais (Acoustic & Electronic Drums and Percussion) the show is driven by multi-instrumental performances, including mass percussion ensembles with the incorporation of trance/electronic elements.
Klayton is currently preparing the next Celldweller release, which promises to be another effort towards breaking stereotypical genre boundaries. The new album will feature a cover version of the Bee Gee’s hit “Tragedy” along with new tracks “Louder Than Words,” “Blackstar,” “The Lucky One,” and “So Long Sentiment.” With each track, Klayton continues to redefine the Celldweller vision, while maintaining his signature sound. The album was slated for a 2008 release.

The simple repetition of "I remember when I was younger" in Celldweller's song "Younger" actually speaks to a deeper nostalgia and longing for the innocence and carefree nature of youth. The repetition of the word "younger" at the end of each line speaks to the cyclical nature of life, as we are all growing older with each passing day. The emphasis on this word also reminds us that youth is fleeting and cannot be recaptured.
Furthermore, the use of nostalgia in the lyrics can also be interpreted as a way to cope with stress or anxiety that comes with adulthood. The memories of youth provide comfort and a sense of security in a world that can often feel chaotic and unpredictable. Ultimately, the lyrics of "Younger" convey a universal desire to go back in time and recapture the simplicity, joy, and freedom of youth.

I've been a fan of celldweller since his self titled album came out and I've got to say that I actually love this. Artists move on with trends and I think that if he was still producing the same sort of music everyone will be commenting saying how repetitive he is.

See, I'm really digging this, like I do most of the stuff he puts out. Its not just that he is doing the wubs, which I like on occasion, its the vibe of the song and the beat, its the way it repeats and grows into something more, especially with the vocals, that sets it up something greater. Not only do i think this is wonderful, I think this song has room to grow in a fairly big way. This ain't no shitty ground beef, this is the seasoning and supporting dishes for that steak coming our way.

People need to understand that musicians make music that they like to make, music that makes them happy. If they make music and they don't like it or if it doesn't make them happy, it's not going to be good. Musicians evolve over time, if they don't ever song will sound the same. I love everything Klay has made. We get older, our interests change, musicians must change too. True supports will find the connection between each album that keeps them similar, but also witness the growth. <3

Klayton makes the music that sounds cool and good to him. He doesn't make dubstep. He makes awesome. But seriously... he just makes the music he wants to make and that's why I love celldweller so much. You don't keep hearing the same thing over and over. It's as close to organic music as you can get.

Oh nooo my favourite artist is creatively experimenting within other genres of music, the horror! The audacity!

I love this song, I love all of Celldwellers songs- the new and the old. He is the most amazing musician I've ever had the pleasure of hearing!

I don't know what genre this song would be, either way it kicks ass!!! The one thing I like that Klayton does, is he doesn't try to make a song by one genre, he mixes almost everything together into his own cool thing
