Samurai Del

A transplant based out of Seattle, WA Alex Lawrence, or known by his stage name Samurai Del, creates engaging and lush music that spans multiple genres. In his early years Samurai Del made sample based music reminiscent of the golden age of hip-hop. After seeing electronic music live for the first time at Sasquatch, Del was inspired to switch gears in 2015 and move away from sampling. After making the decision to switch lanes stylistically Del began to form his sound in creating electronic music. First releasing a more synth focused EP with vocalist MistaDC entitled MistaSamurai in 2015, Del decided to follow it up with his first full length album. Hodgepodge was released in early 2017 and was a turning point for Del as an artist as a whole.
