Gene Sophia Bogolepov (they/she)
ARTIST‘S BIO
Art for Gene became the way to deal with the suffocating grip of capitalist standards and therapy to process their weird, yet exciting life.
Their first electropunk project drew the attention of critics in 2002, who praised them for their exquisite melodic talent and provocative honest lyrics.
Later electro-rock project of Gene – Gender ID – supported Ladytron & Placebo and shared stages with Sparks, She Wants Revenge, Apparat Band, Architecture in Helsinki, Editors, Gotan Project, etc.
2013 saw the re-birth of Gene as 1314 – a stage persona brave enough to share the experiences of their life with HIV, anxiety, and loneliness of a queer person in a patriarchal society.
In 2017 anti-Putin anthem ‘Mother Russia’, triggered an outburst of aggression from patriotic members of society, so they left Russia, seeking asylum in Berlin, Germany.
In 2021 Bogolepov released the ‘Art Brut’ album and played tours in Germany & Netherlands.
New album and full live shows are due in Fall 2024.
