Based in Los Angeles but with his heart in Japan, experimental artist Original God has found a way to do what he loves in a way that is completely his own. Growing up in Philadelphia and Hawaii the anarchic singer incorporates elements of manga, anime, philosophy and film into his art while still preaching a message of hope and individualism. Original God has created a distinct sound that has started to capture the attention of many being influenced by various genres such as hip-hop, metal, industrial, pop, and many others. It is easy to understand where Original God’s versatile sound stems from all blending with his aesthetic and beliefs to create a surreal and beautifully dark world of rock n roll, anime, death and love.
