I'm mostly an actor/writer and I rarely perform live. I have a show on the internet called "(The) Del Rivers Show" on Funny Or Die. I used to play tambourine/maraccas/backing vocals with The Quatloos, Fertility Rite Brothers, and McFadden's Parachute. I also co-write with Luther & The BBB's, Squires Of The Subterrain, and The Mudflaps. A semi-fictional band called "Fudge Club" (and/or "UFO Day Orchestra") feature co-written songs with director Frank Stamm (Movie: Fudge Club Profile). My newest CD will be available soon at CD Baby ("Perugia Way"; also see "Comedy CD" with Chuck McCoy). Older studio tracks are available on I-Tunes.

I like to sing and write in a jazz-pop style.

OKeh short history: 

OKeh was founded by Otto K. E. Heinemann when he set up his own recording studio and gramophone record pressing plant in New York City in September 1918. Heinemann formed the name of the record label "OKeh", from his initials.  OKeh began by issuing popular songs, dance numbers, and vaudeville skits similar to the fare of other labels, but Heineman also wished to experiment with music for audiences neglected by the larger record companies. OKeh produced lines of recordings in German, Czech, Polish, Swedish, and Yiddish for the USA's immigrant communities. In 1920, Ralph Peer's recordings by African-American blues singer Mamie Smith were a surprise smash hit for Okeh. The company perceived the significant, little-tapped market for blues and jazz by African American artists. Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bix Beiderbecke are only a few names of jazz greats that have recorded for the label. By 1926 Columbia Records bought the label and kept it running into the 60's with jazz and R&B recordings. 

In 1994, Sony Music reactivated the OKeh label as a new-age Blues label. Okeh's first new signings included Keb' Mo, Popa Chubby, and Little Axe. By 2000, the Okeh label was again retired, but in 2013 it will see its re-launch as a jazz label once again.

Artemis X makes guitar-based electronic downtempo altrock music.
Music Magic Animals Egypt.

To Find a Soul is a finely-produced album possibly in search of a label. It contains a downtempo dance remix of a 400 yr old aria (Dido's Lament), a Scottish traditional about murder (Henry Lee), alt rock anthems (Burn the Witch and False Flags), a baroque post-industrial earworm (Box and the Machine), cosmic musing (Dying Star), steampunk Nola nod (Life too Long) and a sweet descent into madness (Title track).

Artemisia Xene worked with co-producers and musicians from Paris to NY but does the bulk of singing, playing and producing. Andy Ellis of Guitar Magazine described AX as a cross between Leonard Cohen, PJ Harvey and Dead Can Dance, among others.

Artemis X does not pander to female stereotypes or care too much about pop culture. 

Thank you for listening to my stories. Artemis X
