Biografía
- Portrait XO is a soulful music artist and the inaugural resident artist at Factory Berlin exploring all the possibilities of where we can go with AI, sound, and new media.From a young age, Portrait XO has always been inspired by jazz and improv but her upbringing was strongly focused on classical piano. After listening to Radiohead and Bjork for the first time in the late 90’s, that changed her entire perception of music making. With an ongoing interest in exploring experimental approaches to writing, her move to London from 2006-2015 set her towards a new direction and appreciation for electronic music production. She’s a singer, songwriter, producer, and installation artist working in AR/VR/XR and AI. Her musical style has been compared to Laurie Anderson, James Blake, and Lana Del Ray. She continues to explore different sounds to keep her productions evolving. Her latest experiment with AI involves feeding a neural network with 1 hour of her vocals that generated 10 hours of new audio. Debut AI album is due for release end of 2019.
