A Los Angeles - based artist Dorian Wood is armed with a vocal charisma that would befit a preacher and an experimental streak that would make avant - gardists swoon. Born in Echo Park, California, Dorian began his musical education at a very early age, continuing his studies at Conservatorio De Castella in Costa Rica, and eventually making his way back to Los Angeles, where he first gained exposure performing on the queer bar circuit. His debut album, Bolka, received wide critical acclaim for its impeccable merging of folk, soul, Bulgarian choral music and experimental music. His follow - up EP, Black Pig Suite, featured members of the L.A. experimental orchestra Killsonic, of which Dorian was a principal collaborator and performer for 3 years. Dorians latest album, Rattle Rattle, is the official studio follow - up to Bolka. An epic collection of original doomsday - themed songs that form one strong, continuous piece, Rattle Rattle incorporates over 60 musicians, including a 45 - member choir assembled by Dorian himself, The Difficult Women, as well as guitarist Michael Corwin, bassist Sebastian Steinberg, trumpetist Daniel Rosenboom and members of Killsonic, and featuring duets with Angela Correa, Leah Harmon, Eddika Organista and renowned French artist Nina Savary. Most recently, Dorian directed the video for his song La Cara Infinita, which features a guest appearance by actor Margaret Cho.
