"M.A.G.S. is the solo moniker for Buffalo-bred, Los Angeles-based artist Elliott Douglas. His style seamlessly glides between genres ─ from funky garage rock to minty alt-pop with a punk-inspired energy. Growing up, Douglas was immersed in music at a very early age, teaching himself drums, bass and guitar, picking up instruments belonging to different members of his family (his parents are musicians too). “I also got a demo of Adobe Audition,"" says Douglas when talking of his formative years ""and I started to mess around with the idea of simple songwriting and recording.” Admittedly, the “local scene was a little dead at that point, and we got to be a part of starting a new wave of Buffalo bands,” he remembers. “It was definitely a lightning-in-a-bottle scenario, a perfect storm of the right people playing the right kind of music at the right time.”
