Description:
Ai is at the forefront of the next generation of fresh young musicians. Fusing pulsing electro beats with drum & bass rhythms and alternative rock, the band has created an exciting repertoire of seductive and original songs. A.I.'s cornerstone is their animate ability to perform every sound live using a combination of vintage, acoustic and electronic instruments (without the use of sequencers or DATs) while putting on a captivating party experience. Based in West Los Angeles, Artificial Intelligence consists of Nick Young (vocals, guitars), Zack Young (acoustic and electronic drums, triggers) and Milen Kirov (synth bass, keyboards).
Band Members:
Nick Young (vocals and guitars): This year, Nick co-wrote and sang on ?Sleepwalking Away,? a song featured on Tweaker?s 2am Wake-up Call, the latest album by former Nine Inch Nails drummer Chris Vrenna. Young?s unique voice and remarkable stage presence inspired Vrenna to land Nick as the lead vocalist on Tweaker?s five-week U.S. tour opening for Skinny Puppy in the summer of 2004.
Zack Young (acoustic and electronic drums, triggers): In 1991, Zack was discovered and mentored at age 13 by guitar virtuoso Steve Vai, touring as a member of the band Bad 4 Good (Interscope) and opening for such acts as Bon Jovi, Joe Satriani, Sepultura and Body Count. More recently, Zack performed drums on the track ?Break Open My Shells? for Beastie Boys' keyboardist Money Mark's latest E.P. Demo? Or Demolition?
Milen Kirov (synth bass, keyboards): A pianist, composer, arranger and teacher, Milen Kirov represents a new generation of world musicians. Combining his Bulgarian background with rigorous European education and conservatory training, Kirov is a dynamic performer working with equal success in a variety of genres. His incredible playing and creativity have earned him the experiences of playing with some of today?s top jazz musicians.
