Alaric West

Alaric West chose his own last name. That tells you most of what you need to know. Born in the south, raised on country roots and hard lessons, he left at eighteen and didn't stop until he hit the California coast.

His music sits somewhere between pattern recognition and raw confession — he sees the cycles people repeat, the damage they inherit, and the quiet work of becoming someone new. High emotionally raw vocals over synthwave and country-electronic production, with banjo woven through as a reminder that not everything from home was worth leaving behind.

Some patterns are inherited. Some wounds you make yourself. And some days, the room goes tangerine.
