Your Funny Uncle is electronic music with a twist. based on synthesizers, sequencers, drum machines, vocals and vocoders. Is it electro? Is it art? Is it pop? Or something in between? It is electroArtPop!

The artist behind Your Funny Uncle is Vinnie Albani, who was born in Basel, Switzerland, and lives in Zurich since 2005. He always has been fascinated by synthesizers and is inspired by artists such as Vince Clarke, The Human League, Martyn Ware, Soft Cell, Depeche Mode, Kraftwerk, Jean-Michel Jarre, Anne Clark, OMD, Marsheaux, LCD Soundsystem or Pet Shop Boys. Actually, a Pet Shop Boys song inspired the projects name Your Funny Uncle.

After his musical art project Vision, Vinnie formed the synth pop duo This Play with Dominique Zahnd in 1997. The critically acclaimed CD 'Popcorn' and several live gigs followed. The artsy video for the song was directed by Dominique Zahnd and marks the (unofficial) end of This Play. After a creative pause, Vinnie started to write and produce songs again in 2012 and officially started releasing material under the name Your Funny Uncle in 2019.

With Your Funny Uncle, Vinnie Albani proves his passion for electronic (dance) music and his sense for solid synth- and electropop. Your Funny Uncle celebrates and stands for diversity, freedom, respect, positivity, queerness and a positive attitude to life in general.

Your Funny Uncle - sometimes it's pop, sometimes it's art and sometimes it's just freakin' electro sound that refuses to be categorized: simply electroArtPop!
