Tesla Boy is charismatic frontman and producer Anton Sevidov, who from an early age learnt to speak the international language of music through his father’s old vinyl collection that included Ray Charles, Prince, Stevie Wonder and Blondie. From here, a clear affinity with ‘80s pop and soul from the US and Britain emerged, and has since played a strong role in crafting the Tesla Boy identity. From their beginnings with the release of debut single 'Electric Lady' and first LP 'Modern Thrills' in 2010, the sounds of Tesla Boy’s global influences are immediate, with their acclaimed follow-up single Split, produced to a high level with deep catchy melodies and disco undertones.
Band members Leo Zatagin (bass), Mike Studnitsyn (drums) and Stan Astakhov (guitar) complete the Tesla Boy lineup, coming together to round out the trio in 2010. A collaborative project at its core, all music and lyrics, stylistic decisions, concepts, and the direction of music and production, are made collectively. At the forefront, Sevidov remains the heart of the band, with his penchant for charming songwriting, complimented by the band's incredible musicality and tantalizing live shows that have created a cult following in cities across the world.
Following the standout success of their sparkling debut, 2012 saw the band return to the studio to work on their highly anticipated second album, 'The Universe Made of Darkness,' due to drop May 21, 2013. March saw the band share the first single, '1991,' an infectiously optimistic groove that is an exciting teaser to the finished LP that takes their previous albums' 80’s inspired synth sounds to even further heights. Second single 'M.C.H.T.E.' is a bouncy and percussion heavy track with rhythmic, funky bass lines and synths that flicker across the surface. 'Broken Doll' sees the band team up with London crooner Tyson to create a dark, full-bodied and sensual track. As the chorus of the track would suggest, 'Broken Doll' is an invitation to the dance floor, with Tyson's vocals positively electrifying as he asks, "Do you want to dance?"
As only a preview to what is to come, it is obvious Tesla Boy are not to be mistaken with passing club trends that have come out of Russia in previous years. Tesla Boy carry a shiny pop sensibility, combined with sleek and sophisticated production that takes their nostalgic synth sound and punching soul hooks into the new wave era of EDM with global appeal.

Synthetic Prince
Tesla Boy Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
So I am bound to serve the crowd
I am Synthetic Prince
I am to live like this
Here is my breed
Pulsing to the beat
I've got synthetic bliss
I know why you gonna hate me, you gonna hurt me
I know why you gonna kill me, you gonna heal me
You've got no choice
But to dig my noise
I'beg your pardon, miss
You'd better dance like this
I am the light
Breathing through the night
I am Synthetic Prince
I'm gonna live like this
I know why you gonna hate me, you gonna hurt me
I know why you gonna kill me, you gonna heal me
In Tesla Boy's song "Synthetic Price," the lyrics describe the life of someone who has made a vow to serve the crowd and live like a Synthetic Prince. The character seems to be fully entrenched in the music scene, with a breed pulsing to the beat of synthetic bliss. The lyrics are somewhat paradoxical in that while the character is bound to serve the crowd, the crowd has no choice but to dig their noise.
The lyrics suggest that regardless of whether someone loves or hates the Synthetic Prince, they will feel something towards him. The lines "I know why you gonna hate me, you gonna hurt me, I know why you gonna kill me, you gonna heal me" imply that strong emotions are inevitable. The references to hate and hurt could be interpreted as a nod to how musicians in the current digital age face criticism, negativity and harassment.
The lyrics present a character who is fully immersed in the music world, and perhaps, the lyrics are commenting on the idea that in order to make it as a musician, one must commit themselves entirely to the market. The song suggests that there may be a price to pay for this level of commitment and that whether it is positive or negative, the individual's impact on the community can be immense.
