S1 Episode 130 - Interview with Atlas Cage - Multi-instrumentalist and Producer
Atlas Cage was born during the setting sun of a Friday night, one month after the Chernobyl incident, in an East German town that was still being covered by the ash that drifted in from the skies like dirty snowflakes. It seems only fitting that years later he would adopt a form of the radiation symbol as the marker for the Urban Hard Rock band known as “Strings of Atlas”.
Part beat poet, part rock-n-roll, and a full time wandering soul, Strings of Atlas has been on the underground scene since late 2006. With several self-released albums (including the most recent success “In A Better World”), an independent film score, three short films, appearances on Ninja Warrior and an amazing head of hair, he has managed to climb indie charts from Florida to Texas, garner some FM radio play, find inclusion in numerous podcasts and blogs and tour the west coast in his 1974 Chevy Nova. The first big break for SOA was with the album “Atomic Girls” which made its way on to iTunes, Rhapsody, and several other major platforms. He is also the host of the vlog “Strings Of Atlas TV” on youtube.
In 2019, there were two very significant events in Cage’s career: One was that he began his wrestling run with the indie pro wrestling federation known as PWR (Party World Rasslin’) in Austin Texas. The second was that he founded the indie record label and new home to Strings of Atlas, Sky Titian Media. Sky Titans' mission looks beyond the conventions of the genre, striving to develop artists who feel a deeper connection to people. It was established to act as an independent media incubator, active in the landscape of music, culture, film, and technology and cultivate creativity through connection, both with other artists and the community who supports it.
