LEFTI IS A PROJECT BY PRODUCER ALEX SUAREZ (BROOKLYN, NY) AND YES, HE IS LEFT HANDED. WHILE PURSUING A PATH IN CULINARY ARTS, JUST AFTER HIGH SCHOOL IN FLORIDA, ALEX HAD BEGUN HIS JOURNEY IN MUSIC.  HE STARTED TOURING AS A MUSICIAN AND BEGAN DJING AS A HOBBY SHORTLY AFTER HE GOT INTO THE NIGHTLIFE SCENE IN MIAMI BACK IN EARLY 2K. HIS PATH QUICKLY BLOOMED INTO A FULL TIME CAREER TOURING THE WORLD AS A BASS PLAYER AND WAS DJING WHEN HE COULD. IN 2013 A NEW CHANNEL OPENED UP, HE STOPPED TOURING AFTER 10+ YEARS  AND HE BECAME A PUBLISHED SONGWRITER AND PRODUCER, WORKING WITH OTHER ARTISTS AND LABELS AS WELL AS DIPPING INTO THE SYNC AND LICENSING ARENA. A FEW YEARS LATER HE STARTED HIS PROJECT "LEFTI" AND HIT THE GROUND RUNNING WITH A STEADY STREAM OF REMIXES AND ORIGINALS, WITH RELEASES ON THE LEADING INDEPENDENT HOUSE LABELS AROUND THE WORLD AND REMIXES FOR JUST ABOUT ALL OF THE MAJOR LABELS. IN 2021, LEFTI STARTED QUINCY BOY RECORDS WHICH HOSTS A LOT OF HIS OWN RELEASES, ALONG WITH A GROWING COMMUNITY OF INCREDIBLE TALENT.

I was born from a south Indian father and jewish mother. They named me after Ravi Shankar.

I learned guitar by playing along to Cure, R.E.M. and Smiths cassettes. I spent my high school years writing and recording terrible songs on a Yamaha four-track recorder. In college I started an indie-pop band called Charming. We made three records on a couple of great labels. 

Then I moved to NYC and started writing music for ads, films and video games. Millions heard my music but never saw my face, and rarely heard my voice or knew my name. I missed playing onstage so I formed a Smiths tribute band called The Sons & Heirs. I learned deep secrets from songs I loved and got better on guitar while playing pipe dream stages like the Bowery Ballroom and the Avalon. I also started teaching music composition at VCFA, where I even lectured once on songwriting.

I've spent a lifetime telling other people's stories. Hybird is where I tell my stories.   

Some things that interest me lyrically: the space between technology and nature; truth in a post-truth world; mundane personal mythologies.

Refuge for leftfield pop, imaginary soundtracks and the English chanson.
