SEJVA

Atlanta producer Alex Locklair began working under the moniker Sejva in 2015 as an outlet for his electronic music, taking the name from his father's surname before fleeing communist Yugoslavia for America. He grew up playing guitar and participating in school chorus and orchestra programs, but as his interest in production grew, he turned to the warm sounds of analog synths and tape-saturated loops and samples to create a distinctive voice for his tracks steeped in the influence of house as much as they were Atlanta's rich hip-hop scene of the '90s. In the summer of 2017, Sejva's debut EP, Coquet, was delivered on Company Records, label of Toro y Moi member Chaz Bear.
