DOROVÅ embraces the unconventional. His fresh take on electric guitar is built on who he is and by the music that molded a passion for guitar-driven anthemic rock.
Alex, aka DOROVÅ, debuted in the 2010s with alt-rock band Valadares, releasing an EP and playing regional U.S. shows, including at Vans Warped Tour, The Whiskey a Go Go, Moore Theatre, with artists like The Home Team and an appearance with Sheila E.
Alex kickstarted a solo venture in 2016, releasing the ballad-turned-epic “Fool” and pop anthem “Love is Free”, followed by funk-infused track “Way I Do”. These singles presented a heart-driven perspective of his adolescence with a pinch of levity and humor in the videos that followed. An EP, ‘genuality.’ released in 2019 before everything paused in 2020.
Post-2020 proved to be a major growth point, serving as a period of self-discovery and a time of renewed inspiration in his songwriting and ambitions. An example was the guitar-centric EP, DOROVÅ’s 'Rona Tapes, a collection of basement-tracked demos recorded during the pandemic, heralding a renewed focus around his affinity for rock forward music.
DOROVÅ’s latest chapter finds him residing in Los Angeles, relaunching with the initial rock hectic single, ‘Out and Awake’—a blistering declaration to accept ourselves for who we are, regardless of what others may perceive. Followed by riff driven, ‘Never Gonna Die’, out on November's Friday the 13th, these electric new tunes are produced and mixed by Eric Emery (Blink-182, Yellowcard, Yungblud). Looking ahead, 2027 will mark the debut of DOROVÅ’s new live show premiering Saturday, January 16th at Three Clubs in Hollywood, California, along more music to follow through the year.
