The music industry is teeming with talent just bubbling from under the surface. Spanning multiple genres, artists, and adept musical stylings, the industry has become a wellspring of inspiration for aspiring musicians to stake their claim within a burgeoning enterprise. Ali Spartels is among these talented individuals. Carving out her legacy in the music and entertainment industry with unabashed enthusiasm, the prominent musician has unveiled a solo project under the moniker Babalon.
Donning the Babalon persona, Ali Spartels has crafted a musical icon that fully embodies her sheer artistry. The artist utilizes a synergistic blend of genre elements straight out of Indie, Electro Pop, and Dark-wave Electro Pop. Babalon is a vehicle for Ali’s creative expression as she immerses herself in character and blurs the lines between her artistic creation and her own personality.
Ali’s talents took root way before she decided to pursue a career in music. Since the early days of her childhood, she had already shown tremendous promise as a musician. She learned jazz piano at a young age and now carries what she has learned throughout her musical journey. Plucking her influences from revered artists such as Prince, Sting, and Joni Mitchell, Babalon’s music has a way of captivating an audience and seamlessly blending the artistic stylings of one Ali Spartels.
Apart from her sonic influences, Ali Spartels also heavily draws visual inspiration from the legendary filmmaker David Lynch. With every new release, Babalon has allowed Ali to express her artistry through music accompanied by compelling music videos. Coming from equally talented parents, it’s no surprise that Ali Spartels has made an indelible mark in the music industry.
Both of her parents are well-known actors in the Australian entertainment industry and have featured in multiple leading roles in theater, film, and television. Her father, George Spartels, was a staple in “Playschool,” a long-running children’s television series on ABC where Ali began her songwriting career at the age of five. She wrote songs on her father’s albums for the show, which continues to be celebrated today.
Her mother, Liz Alexander, is a famous Australian actress who recently starred in the highly successful Netflix series, “Clickbait.” Her mother’s talent for visual flair has carried over onto Ali’s dazzling onscreen presence, allowing her to become a magnetic force throughout her many music videos.
Babalon premiered in the Music Magazine in 2020. Since the solo project’s inception, Ali Spartels has garnered radio play all across Australia. Her latest single, “Scream,” is part of a larger project that Ali is currently brewing up. This new undertaking brings the likes of Max Vangeli, Stonebridge, and Going Deeper to rework the tune and bring various EDM stylings accompanied by Ali’s hauntingly beautiful vocals.
Since its initial release, “Scream” has enjoyed tremendous success all across the United Kingdom, consistently being played across the club and radio circuit of prominent venues. The single is currently available to stream across all mainstream digital platforms, along with a hypnotic music video that audiences just couldn’t take their eyes off.
