Gunpoint

Dallas-based artist Gunpoint (born Aviel Samuel) found a deep love for music at a very young age, while learning to play the piano. Though he specializes in bass music, he draws inspiration from many different genres, including alternative and hip-hop music. Some of his biggest sources of inspiration include: RL Grime, Zeds Dead, Boombox Cartel, and Deadcrow. Being held at gunpoint is undeniably an intense experience. When coming face-to-face with death, your life flashes before your eyes – evoking powerful memories both good and bad. Gunpoint seeks to mirror this contrast, providing both hard hitting bass and emotionally rich tones with breathtaking intensity and poetic ethereality. He hopes to provide an immersive experience that not only hits hard, but allows listeners to share in his excitement and passion for music.
