Biography
Primo the Alien is the stage name of Austin-based synthpop/retrowave/synthwave artist and producer Laura Lee Bishop. She writes and produces each song herself, with a unique blend of humor and drama that leaves listeners captivated.
Her wild tales of epic showdowns, interplanetary tourism, and hyper-sensual scenarios are guaranteed to make you feel like you're living in 1987… if 1987 was a dangerously sexy, post-apocalyptic wasteland complete with kick-ass parties, flying motorcycles, and lots of glitter. The wings of this retro rainbow Pegasus are Primo's signature powerhouse vocals. Primo sings with urgency, from the gut, hitting notes so high you'll wonder if she's hiding a soprano sax in her throat. With eccentric bravado, compelling intensity, and colossal production style, Primo the Alien delivers the punch music fans of all genres have been oh-so-eagerly anticipating.
A classically trained vocalist, musician, and passionate performer since the age of seven, who came from humble beginnings in the small town of Gilmer, Texas, Laura Lee Bishop has been heavily influenced by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Tracy Chapman and The Chicks over the years. Ultimately, she followed her dreams to New York City where she enrolled in New York University and received much acclaim as a songwriter in the school's competitive Department of Recorded Music, founded by the legendary Clive Davis.
