Bio:
lux was born on August 12, 1985. At the age of twelve she learned how to play drums at a Mexican music school she and her sisters attended. They learned to play cumbias, rancheras, and balladas; Mexican dance music. By the age of 13, lux and her sisters were playing paid gigs at weddings and parties. For the next three years they continued to play this music until they were introduced to the song "Zombie" by The Cranberries... After being exposed to hard rock, there was no turning back. lux went on to teach herself to play hard rock while listening to bands such as The Cranberries, Van Halen, Megadeth, and Sonic Youth. During her sophomore year of high school, her brother brought home a Judas Priest album: Painkiller. lux was amazed at the incredible double bass speed and fast rolls so she bought a second bass drum and has been playing double bass ever since.
lux has achieved major credibility in the 9 years of her drumming career. She has thousands of loyal fans and is recognized in the male dominated metal and experimental scene. Her signature drumming combines heavy metal double-bass with complex rhythms and dynamics, all while playing in Stilettos and it doesn’t stop there. She also has the creative mind to incorporate elements of progressive and experimental rock rhythms.
This young drum goddess with an attitude opened up for Third Eye Blind in ’03, Joan Jett in May ’06, Christian Death 1334 in April ’07, and played last summer’s Vans Warped Tour (2006) with the bands Shiragirl and Mystery Hangup, which she received recognition for in the September issue of Drum! Magazine. lux does not lack the attention of rock fans alike and has also been recognized in the September/October 2006 issue of Music Connection Magazine for her “…off kilter, Keith Moon inspired drumming.” In December 2006, lux and Cat of Mystery Hangup were announced as 'Miss WFD 2007' for the World's Fastest Drummer competition at the NAMM '07 Convention where lux amazingly set the record for Single Strokes in the Female Category at 901 Strokes in 1 minute. Shortly after, she was seen once again in Drum! and Modern Drummer magazines.
lux has a very promising future. With her ability to play double bass like Dave Lombardo and fast rolls like Terry Bozzio (both her personal drum heroes) she takes music seriously and enjoys playing it. Her current projects are: Mystery Hangup (all female Experimental/Indie Rock) and Sacred Storm (Thrash/Progressive Metal), both scheduled to release their debut albums in May/June. Her current tour schedule includes Sacred Storm's SHRED OR BE DEAD TOUR which will kick off on June 1st in support of their debut album, Man Versus Machine. Mystery Hangup also has a tour lined up this summer; The Sound + Vision Tour. Scheduled to start in August, this tour will take the band across the nation in support of their debut album Three Moons And The Crashing Sun which was produced by Paul Roessler and Geza X at Satelite Park Studios in Malibu, CA.
