Aleron Kelley, Alterations

Aleron Kelley, Alterations

Join us next Thursday, July 12th for Capitol Hill Art Walk. We will be hosting musical guest Aleron along with our artist Kyra Anderson. 

Aleron Kelley is a poet, producer and MC known as Alterations. The Alterations project is a culmination of a experimental audio collage and hip hop instrumentals accompanied by poetic lyricism and ambient textures. This project spans an array of emotions from love to heartache sprinkled with cunning word play. Alterations has not released an official full length project and doesn't share much music online so everything you hear is exclusive and will be about as raw as it gets.

Read on to learn more about Aleron and his music.

How would you describe your musicality?

Passionate lyrical delivery and stage presence with inventive instrumentals

 Who has been your biggest inspiration in the music world and why?

Probably Digable Planets and The Blue Scholars . My dad played Digable Planets for me as a kid and it was the first exposure to hip hop. As I got older and more involved in the local scene I started going to Blue Scholars shows and really dug Sabzis production and decided to start making beats. Oh, and MF DOOM.

Do you have any exciting upcoming gigs/performances? What are they?

I kinda play shows as they come around but don't have any specific plans on playing next. Although my brother has a little group called Apt_E which throws techno parties around town and I'd like to open up for one of those sometime soon. Follow Apt_E on Instagram.

What is your biggest goal as a musician?

To make people feel an array of emotions and get a peak into my head and see my vision.

What's your favorite part of being in Seattle? 

I’m Seattle born and raised and have traveled a bit but always come back to Seattle with a fond sense of home. I love the seasons. I wish the summers were longer.

If you could describe yourself in 3 words, what would they be?

Empathetic, explorer, deep-thinker.

What do you wish to convey to the audience through your music?

I would like to convey a feeling that just because things end it doesn't mean that its over. Stories can still be told and I hope that the stories I'm telling resonate with the people listening. Also to just vibe out to some cool beats.

Anything else you'd like people to know?

 It takes me a really long time to write music these days and I haven't made beats in ages. I'm kinda experimenting with performance at this point, but doing things like this inspire me to get back to work.  So thanks for the opportunity and expect more dopeness coming soon.
