Biography ofThe Fascinated
Beki Colada
Beki Colada is an Australian native who grew up on a steady diet of
Cyndi Lauper and Missing Persons. From the very beginning, her voice
possessed a rare quality — simultaneously playful, fierce, and emotionally arresting.
Beki first found success when her band The Mavís's topped the charts in her
home country, won numerous awards, and toured with Kylie Minogue and
Green Day. After travelling the world and working with a myriad of
well-known producers — from London to Tokyo — Beki settled in
Los Angeles in 2010.
The city's perpetual warmth and nocturnal energy proved the ideal backdrop for her
next chapter. With a decade of hard-earned experience behind her and an unmistakable
voice still evolving, she was ready to build something new — something that felt like
driving down Sunset Boulevard at midnight with the windows down and a perfect song on the radio.
lionel Cohen
lionel Cohen is a French-born New Yorker who grew up on
Duran Duran and Genesis. His NYC rock band
"The Plastic Fantastics" is well known in the underground scene of the 2000s —
a cult favourite known for angular guitars and synth-drenched atmosphere.
While his solo albums have amassed over 2,000,000 plays on Spotify,
most of his acclaim comes from scoring films and television with over
500 IMDb credits and producing over 300 albums
across every genre imaginable. lionel's ear for melody is cinematic in scope —
every track a miniature score, every arrangement a world unto itself.
He relocated to Los Angeles in 2013, and within a year he would
meet the voice that would make all those instincts snap into focus.
The two found each other through Craigslist in 2014 — a wonderfully
21st-century origin story for a duo steeped in the analog warmth of the '80s.
With lionel producing and Beki's unmistakable voice front and centre, they formed
"The Fascinated".
What emerged was something immediately distinct: driving percussion and shimmering synth
textures beneath a voice that turns every hook into a memory. The Fascinated make music
that sounds like it could have been a No. 1 in 1985 — and yet feels entirely alive and
urgent today. Based in the heart of Hollywood, they are proof that the '80s never really
ended. They just went underground, waiting for the right moment to plug back in.
