STARSET is an American rock band formed in 2013 by lead vocalist Dustin Bates, who aimed to blend ambitious music with a compelling science fiction narrative. Their music, characterized by cinematic soundscapes and thematic elements drawn from technology, space, and the future, has captured the imagination of a global audience. The band's genesis was inspired by Bates' background in electrical engineering and his passion for space and storytelling. This unique blend of interests led to STARSET's distinctive approach to music, marked by a fusion of rock elements with cinematic orchestration and electronic music.

Over the years, STARSET has released several albums including "DIVISIONS," "Vessels," and "Transmissions," each unfolding parts of an intricate narrative that explores themes of human condition, dystopia, and cosmic wonder. Their work extends beyond traditional music releases with an immersive multimedia project involving graphic novels, videos, and an AR app, deepening the lore surrounding their conceptual universe. With tracks like "Waiting On The Sky To Change" and "INFECTED," the band continues to evolve their sound while maintaining the thematic underpinnings that have won them a dedicated fanbase. Their innovative approach to music and storytelling has not only redefined the boundaries of rock but has also established STARSET as a unique voice in the modern music landscape.
