The Synesthetic Architect of Alt-Pop
In a landscape crowded with genre mashups and trend-chasing experimentation, Alon Mylo stands out as the rare artist who makes the fusion feel inevitable rather than forced. An alt-pop, hip-hop, and trap singer-songwriter-producer, Mylo constructs songs the way a director builds a film: scenes of sound, emotional close-ups, and wide cinematic sweeps stitched together through a synesthesia-driven connection between color and music. For him, melodies aren’t simply notes — they’re pigments. Beats aren’t just rhythms — they’re textures, shadows, and moving visuals.
