Welcome to SYNTHIAN: Your Ultimate 80s Electro Experience At SYNTHIAN, we’re passionate about bringing the electrifying sounds of the 80s to life with a modern twist. We love the 80s and are driven by a deep passion for music that transcends generations. Our goal is to deliver an unforgettable experience that gets everyone on their feet and dancing to the beats of a bygone era, infused with our unique style. Why We Perform Music Our love for music runs deep. We believe that music has the power to bring people together, evoke memories, and create new ones. For us, performing isn't just about playing notes; it's about connecting with our audience and sharing our love for the 80s. Each performance is an opportunity to relive the vibrant energy of that decade and to introduce it to new audiences. We perform music because it’s our way of spreading joy, creating unforgettable moments, and celebrating the timeless appeal of 80s electro. Our Musical Journey Our keyboard player, Jay, is a seasoned musician with over 30 years of experience. Having played in various bands since the 90s, Jay’s expertise and dedication to his craft are evident in every performance. His journey began with a passion for the synth sounds that defined the 80s, and over the years, he has honed his skills to perfection. Jay’s ability to recreate those iconic sounds with precision and flair sets the foundation for our band’s authentic 80s vibe. Steve, our vocalist, brings a dynamic energy to the stage with his background as both an electro house DJ and an 80s DJ. His experience behind the decks has given him a unique understanding of how to engage an audience and keep the energy high. Steve’s transition from DJ to frontman adds a charismatic presence to SYNTHIAN, making our performances not just a musical act but an all-encompassing entertainment experience.
