“Who will beat the test of time? Who will fall, and who will climb?”

Alice Longyu Gao invented a world that inspires their generation’s taste in music, fashion, and fine art.

Born and raised in the far east, ALG is recognized globally for being one of the pioneers that defined the genre Hyperpop. Furthermore, via their events and art performances, ALG orchestrates together a culture and a community that supports it.

Grinding from their East Village tiny apartment in Manhattan, ALG was invited to deejay at institutes such as MoMA, Parrish Art Museum, and Galerie Perrotin. ALG soundtracked for fashion shows and events such as Acne Studios during Paris Fashion Week, Juicy Couture during New York Fashion Week.

Relocating to Los Angeles, ALG released their critically acclaimed EP – Let’s Hope Heteros Fail, Learn, and Retire. In 2023, they went on a 34 cities solo world tour with sold-out dates in London, Los Angeles, and New York, to perform live with an ensemble of harp and MIDI controllers.

ALG’s art practice inspires adjacent spaces such as video games, TV/movies, anime, and AI. As a featured artist for The Sims 4, Electronic Arts invited ALG to sing their song in simlish for the game. Hulu picked ALG to create and sing an original song for their iconic hit LGBTQ+ TV series Love, Victor 2.

ALG wants to create art until the day they die, and they hope their work will continue to challenge and inspire our humanity for a long time.
