Alexander Fleming, known professionally as Black Atlass, first gained attention in 2013 with his debut single 'Paris,' showcasing his versatility by pairing an acoustic piano version with the original electronic mix. This duality hinted at the boundary-pushing artistry that would define his career. In 2015, he appeared on Action Bronson's critically acclaimed Mr. Wonderful, further cementing his place in the industry.
Fleming’s career took a major turn in 2018 when he signed with The Weeknd’s XO Records. That year, he collaborated with Jessie Reyez on the haunting 'Sacrifice' for the Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack, which quickly amassed millions of streams. He also released his debut album Pain & Pleasure, earning critical acclaim and a Juno nomination.
In 2020, Black Atlass released Dream Awake, solidifying his genre-defying reputation. In 2022, he released Infinite, his most ambitious work to date, under his own label, continuing to blend genres and defy expectations in modern music.

I think the Sun should revolve around the Moon.
I think leaves should eat caterpillars.
Trees should crash into cars.
Water should dissolve in salt.
Televisions should watch people.
Walls should hang on pictures.
Oceans should float on pelicans.
Diamonds should steal people.
Buffalo should hunt lions.
Photos should take cameras.
Trees should fall from apples.
Fire should catch on toasters.
People should stop and pick up buses.
Skin should shed reptiles.
Targets should pierce arrows.
Birds should feed bird feeders.
Waves should catch surfboards.
Fishing hooks should bite fish.

Everybody has secret weirdness, Pete Holmes gets comedians to share theirs.

Pumping Norteño bass scored my childhood soundtrack in the small motor town of Bedford, Indiana. An energetic culture-clash forged my home, sparked by contrasting parents: My factory-worker father, a good ole’ boy from the Indiana backwoods, was my hero. He had nothing in his childhood, but grew to give us everything. My mother came from a tiny village in the Costa Rican rainforest to search for a better life in the US. A fantastic cook, she encouraged my spirit, music, dancing, and imagination. Once, we were coloring and I didn’t have a green crayon for the trees. “The trees can be any color you want,” she told me. That’s been my philosophy ever since.

Growing older, though, my imagination and independence could make for a hard time. My ever-changing, crazy hair and Madonna-wannabe ensembles were a bit much for Bedford. Bullied and picked on, a teacher once even threatened to beat out my sissiness with his fists, but the spirit of music kept me going. From age four, I sang, performed, and composed in school plays, recitals, choirs, and voice lessons: Glen Campbell at family parties. Bjork and Sinead O’Connor at my bedroom mirror. I prayed for Madonna to rescue me. She never showed. So I got the hell out of Bedford.

My mother loved Mexican music, and my father loved old country. Not until I started performing in New York City did I try experimenting with those old Ranchera and vintage Country songs I had grown up with. They matched my counter-tenor voice, often compared to Karen Carpenter, Patsy Cline, and St. Vincent. Audiences loved the Spanish classics combined with my original English songs at legendary venues such as The Knitting Factory, CBGBs, The Bell House, Pete’s Candy Store, and Galapagos. 

When people ask me to describe my music or who I sound like I have to admit that I have been inspired by everything I’ve ever heard. I may say I’m inspired by Loretta Lynn or Pink Floyd, not necessarily by sound, but maybe I’m using their approach. I think Indie Pop would be a general title for my genre; though DJs have also created hi-energy dance mixes of my material. My first release, In A Song, went to #13 on Billboard’s Dance Club Play Chart, spending 15 weeks on the countdown. Follow-ups All the Stars, Go, If, and Pura Vida were also worldwide hits. 

When not singing, I’ve been the founder and co-host of The Williamsburg Spelling Bee at Pete’s Candy Store. Since 2004, we’ve been covered by NBC, The New York Times, Vanity Fair, NPR U.S.A., NPR Germany, NPR Japan, Time Out NY, Paper Magazine, and many international newspapers and airline travel magazines.

From Indiana to Costa Rica, Country to Norteño, and “axolotl” to “sesquipedalian,” that’s my pura vida.
