Astralakt

Aaron Lewis known by his stage name Astralakt (born 8 May 1996) is an American electronic music producer, DJ, and visual artist from Northern California.

Lewis began his journey as a producer at age 6 when he was given a keyboard for his birthday. He would record his melodies and beats on cassette tapes. 

In 2004, at the age of 8, while attending the boys and girls club, Lewis attended his first music workshop where he learned how to structure beats using Sony Acid Screenblast. The following year in 2005, his dad sent him a midi controller and a PC that included Propellerheads Reason and Rebirth and that is when it all began. 

Once again eager to learn more in the music production world at the age of 11, Lewis attended an after-school computer class where he was exposed to FL Studio. For the next four years, he worked on his craft while promoting his music on Myspace. 

In 2012 at the age of 16, Lewis signed with a production label in LA through whom he produced a song for Wiz Khalifa and continued to get placements. In 2013, he found himself creating more outside of the box music and became more focused on originality rather than what was popular. 

In 2015 after having a mental break, Lewis went off the grid and moved to Joshua Tree, California, where he would focus on his own music. In 2017, Lewis was diagnosed with Schizophrenia which has become his biggest inspiration. In 2020, after years of experimenting under different names and perfecting his production skills, he adapted the moniker Astralakt.
