After a decade fronting rock outfit
the Cab, Las Vegas singer
Alexander DeLeon switched courses as the solo act
Bohnes. Taking inspiration from a trip to the Paris catacombs,
DeLeon started the project as a genre-hopping outlet where he could delve into pop, taking cues from childhood influences like
Michael Jackson,
Stevie Wonder,
*NSYNC, and
Queen. He released his debut single, "Guns and Roses," in 2015, quickly followed by "Middle Finger," which recalled the mainstream rock of
Imagine Dragons and
Twenty One Pilots. In 2016, he issued a cover of
Frank Sinatra's "Witchcraft." A year later, he recruited Matt Johnson (
Matt and Kim) and Bryan Sammis (
the Neighbourhood) for the single "Six Feet Under." He also released "702" and "My Friends" as additional teasers for his debut full-length. ~ Neil Z. Yeung
