Celldweller is the best-known musical project by Detroit-based artist, songwriter, remixer, programmer, producer, performer (also as DJ), label founder and entrepreneur Klayton. He created the project in 2000 after he abandoned his previous musical effort Circle of Dust for various reasons.

Celldweller is known for genre-bending musical production, ranging from Industrial and Thrash Metal to Punk Rock, Electro House, Ambient, Drum & Bass, Orchestral, Acoustic Rock with influences of Hip Hop and Synthwave – one song almost never only fits in only one of those classifications.

Klayton is a multi-instrumentalist, adept at drums, bass guitar, electric & acoustic guitar and piano, provides vocals and also produces sounds with an enormous collection of modular synthesizers in his studio, dubbed “The Celldweller Spaceship” located in the HQ of FiXT, the label Klayton and James Rhodes founded in 2006.

Celldweller has had many music placements in video games, television and films, in addition to several movie soundtracks as synth programmer.

Celldweller’s self-titled debut album was one of the few albums ever achieving a licensed placement with every single song off it. Its lead single Switchback was his breakthrough song through sharing of its music video on various video platforms of the time (YouTube didn’t exist yet in 2003).

Celldweller has toured twice – once after the release of his debut album with a live band, called “The Swirling Mantles” who also appeared in the Switchback music video, and once with the release of Wish Upon a Blackstar with Bret Autrey (known as Blue Stahli). One show from the second tour was released on DVD, titled Live Upon a Blackstar.

Celldweller has released 3 vocal albums, 3 albums in his Soundtrack for the Voices in my Head series – instrumentals made for soundtracking and licensing – as well as 3 albums of Transmissions which are experimental and often ambient recordings of his modular hardware. Additionally, Celldweller has created 2 soundtracks and several remix albums, EPs, commentaries, and more.
