Nowandformerly is the sonic alias of Kevin Figueroa — a bedroom experimentalist, self-taught visual alchemist, and rhythm-obsessed shapeshifter born in California’s Central Valley and raised between the dust of Michoacán and the concrete pulse of San Francisco.

Rooted in DIY ethics and noise-drenched honesty, Nowandformerly is a one-man force: drums, guitars, synths, voice — all warped through his own lens. His music bleeds genres, fusing post-rock atmosphere, ambient textures, and drum-heavy experimental rhythms into immersive soundscapes that hit hard and haunt quietly. Every track is self-recorded, self-produced, and paired with visual elements Kevin builds himself — a raw, audiovisual world built from scratch.

What began as a teen obsession with drums in punk/hardcore bands evolved into a feverish exploration of sound after relocating to San Francisco. Kevin cut his teeth as a session drummer before launching Nowandformerly in 2018. Since then, he’s released two full-length albums: Alone with Everyone (2020) and Everyday is a Lifetime (2021) — each one a deeply personal dive into isolation, movement, and memory. The third release is on the horizon.

Known for his unpredictable live sets and shape-shifting visuals, Nowandformerly has shared stages with boundary-pushers like Weval, Blue Hawaii, Faux Real, and Casino Hearts, always bringing a raw, hypnotic energy that sits somewhere between a dream and a breakdown.

This is music for the in-between moments — fractured, loud, and alive.
