Punk Rock Musician, Guitarist, Crossdresser, Virtual Rock & Roll Legend, Millennial, YouTuber, Gamer, Myth Maker. 🎸 💻 🎮 📼 📖
25+ years of making unique music and being in a digital-native rock band since I was in high school. Back in the 2000s, before it was cool to do so.
Been posting videos and shorts on YouTube since 2007. I also been crossdressing as my female alter-ego Madeline Lew since Halloween 2015. I am from San Francisco loud and proud!
I play guitar, bass, sporadically rap and sing. And I produce all of my music found here at my house here in San Francisco's finest Excelsior District. Sometimes, I use AI to create the music and art that we do. I was in a few local punk bands that toured the West Coast sporadically during the late 2010s, but flying solo was always better for me as a musician & artist.
I am influenced by 90's alt-rock, classic rock, J-Rock, K-Pop, blues, chiptunes, city pop, punk...My all-time favorite band is Nirvana and a lot of the grunge bands that came from Seattle back in the 90's! I started playing the guitar because of my Sino-Japanese cousin Andy from Hong Kong at age 13. I graduated from Wallenberg High School in 2004, the same high school that Wisp and Coco Lee attended. And I'm a proud alumni at California State University, East Bay.
Lewnatic's music is angsty, anthemic, yet positive. Very digital and modern. But at the same time. Still very much rock & roll and captures all my 90's and early 2000s musical influences on point. So far, 62 countries has heard me out worldwide online. And thousands of people have connected to this "band" of mines on social-media? Despite the bad algorithms on my page.
I don't do mainstream, and I keep it real my way or the highway.
I am the "Artist Formerly Known as PLB." Lewnatic, my male self and my stage name. And Madeline, my genderfluid persona-driven alter-ego. By day, I'm pushing shopping carts with tractors and with my hands at Costco. Off the clock, I'm my own rock star locally and on the Internet 24/7.
