“What if Johnny Cash made folks songs for vampires?” The answer might very well describe the music of Aurelio Voltaire.
Often described as a modern day renaissance man, Voltaire is an accomplished singer/ performer, author, creator of films, animation, toys and home decor.
As an internationally touring musician for nearly 30 years, he is at the forefront of the Gothic and Dark Cabaret genres and has consistantly headlined some of the biggest horror, sci-fi and comic book conventions. Known for mixing mirth with the macabre, his music is a vast collection of fun songs about frightful topics. Perhaps that is why he has become such a fan favorite around Halloween, a time of year where his sizable audience doubles its listeners and his dark ditties appear on everyone’s Halloween playlists. Walk through a Spirit Halloween and you’re bound to hear a few of his songs, like Brains! Or Land of the Dead from the Cartoon Network show The Grim Adventures of Billy And Mandy.
Many know him for his songs from the viral animated videos of Daria Cohen’s Vampair series (The Night, Land of the Dead, Zombie Prostitute, Stuck with You, Raised by Bats and Chupando) that have a combined 80 million views on Youtube.
The New York Times did a feature on Aurelio Voltaire and the Gothic Homemaking show calling him, “The Martha Stewart of Macabre Homemakers" and "a lifestyle guru to people who embrace spookiness in all seasons.”
