History

Percy Alexander Meza Bravo was born on April 18, 1992 in Iquitos, Peru. He attended Scientific University of Peru where he graduated with a Bachelor of Communication Sciences.

He entered to music as "self-taught artist" in 2011 after having a brief start in literature, writing short stories and novelles of science fiction, horror and fantasy; all were published as e-books.[1][5] Originally, he was known as Percy Meza before adopting the new alias.[6] His first steps in music were influenced by the experimental genre,[6] influenced by Björk, The Prodigy, Crystal Castles and Kraftwerk.[2] In 2012, he adopted the alias of Alexian Kernel, created from his middle name "Alexander" and German word kernel, meaning nucleus.

Directed by Paco Bardales, Kernel produced the music video for "Downtown Iquitos", included as a two-chapter short-film in 2014.[7][8] The same year, Kernel released "A-OK" and "Hey Joven Charapa" in iTunes and Spotify.[1][2]

In early 2016, he released another single titled "Smooth Ready".
