Artist History The band Strangeways was formed in 1992 by keyboardist Joe Sepia and vocalist Ari Zider. The two experimented with different projects relating to electronic music. After many disheartening attempts at songwriting, the two decided to find a new member who could compose innovative songs. As both members kept their eyes and ears open for new members, Joe stumbles upon a fellow schoolmate Sachin Sud who had the same interests in electronic music. The two decided to work on some music projects together to see if their directions were compatible. After establishing a common goal to produce quality innovative music they brought the vocalist Ari Zider back in the picture. The format established back in 1992 remains the same today. Sachin writes and produces all the music and lyrics, Ari sings, Joe plays the instruments.
