Conjure One

Rhys Fulber gained widespread recognition through his contributions to Delerium and Front Line Assembly, and he earned further acclaim for producing tracks by Sarah Brightman, Josh Groban, P.O.D., and Mudvayne. Following nearly twenty years of involvement with foundational electronica groups, he launched the project Conjure One. Sound has formed a constant thread throughout his existence. Raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Fulber grew up immersed in musical instruments from childhood onward. His father worked as a musician, and Fulber began performing on drums at age five. By eleven he had embraced punk rock, purchasing Dead Kennedys albums while exploring recording techniques. The synth-oriented album Homosapien by Pete Shelley captured his attention, prompting his father to present him with a drum machine and keyboard at fourteen and thereby setting his electronic explorations in motion. In 1999 he adopted the name Conjure One and spent the next three years journeying internationally to gather diverse global music influences that would shape his distinctive electronic approach. The album Redemption served as Conjure One’s first official release in 2001. The following year Fulber collaborated with Sinéad O’Connor, Poe, and Israeli singer Chemda on a second self-titled album. On the 2005 release Extraordinary Ways, Fulber made his vocal debut by interpreting the Buzzcocks classic “I Believe.”
