Biography
Femina-X
Members: Alex Scheel, Jai Roots, Darian Thomas, Daniela Riojas, Jeff Palacios, Chris Cooper (40)
Band from San Antonio, Texas, Femina-X created by Daniela Riojas (vocals, autoharp, programming) and Alex Scheel (synthesizer, guitar, programming), who were later joined by Jeff Palacios (bass), and Chris Cooper (drums). Using a blend of electronic beats, atmosphere, and foundational live instruments, the music stems from a hunger to evolve and merge magic with blues, trip-hop, progressive tribal and ethnic dance, jungle, Caribbean, industrial, punk, and drum'n bass. The band identifies itself as "New Alternative", creating unconventional fusions - taking from sounds of nature, ancestors, electricity, modernity, and visions of ecstatic living.
