Alex Nahas loves limits. That may seem odd coming from Brooklyn N.Y.’s singer / multi- instrumentalist who plays the Chapman Stick and harbors a deep affinity for the likes of Peter Gabriel and Talk Talk, but Nahas’s solo project Bright Brown is a case study in how to wring more from less. As Bright Brown has evolved over the course of three LPs, two EPs and, most recently, the new EP / Illustrated Lyric Book, ‘And So...’, reflecting the post 2020 world seen through his dark but hopeful lens, Nahas has carved out a niche that slots into the same lineage as David Byrne, David Bowie, Daniel Lanois and Elvis Costello: all one-of-a-kind artists who shoehorned unorthodox approaches into highly digestible pop music. There’s the unmistakable common thread of a seasoned songwriter with a flair for mood, texture and atmosphere.Thoughtful and reflective with a knack for rendering outside-world concerns in the landscape of the personal, Bright Brown continues to venture into new frontiers, casting the Stick in a fresh light as a songwriter’s instrument with each successive song.

The Deep Pink pops with well crafted songs that pinnacle with blistering choruses and dynamics that mesmerize those in the vicinity. 

  Based out of Brooklyn NY, and led by front man and composer Alex Goumas, the music combines elements of classic and 21st century pop. The music crosses over to different genres with hints of funk, synth rock, and electronic/dance, leaving audiences buzzed from the eclectic mix. Backed by a talented band that executes schooled musicianship and fierce creative punch, the group promises an experience worthy to any audience.

Before The Deep Pink, Alex was hustling as bassist and sideman. He performed in a slew of bands, the very first band being Freaks for The Festival, and funk jam band from NH. Migrating to Boston to attend Berklee College of Music he was the bass chair in many different projects including Boston party funk band PocketSauce, the eclectic free jazz group, Dope Directive, and O.G.M.F. 

In the fall of 2008, Alex made the transition to NYC. Soaking up the eclectic and diverse music in Brooklyn left a lasting impression on him. He slowly started writing his own songs and indulging in his home studio. In 2011 he formed his own group under his artist name Alex Goumas before changing over to The Deep Pink, with Grant Fisher on guitar, Isamu McGregor on keys/synths, and Adam Sadowsky on drums.  

2012 saw the release of the debut EP Great Design, which has received both airplay on KLED Live (91.1FM) in the Greater Los Angeles Area, and Off the Charts Radio in the UK. The first two singles, Dancer Girl and Summer Color were #1 for 5 weeks in row on Jay Adkins “Best Unsigned Artist” poll. The Deep Pink finished up the year with the release of their first Music Video for Dancer Girl.

New EP, Separating From Normal, due out this Fall 2013.
