Description
Brian Ebejer (born March 21, 1974), known professionally as Edsel Dope , is an American musician who is the lead singer, rhythm guitarist and main songwriter for nu metal/industrial metal band Dope. Dope was founded in 1997 by Edsel and his brother Simon (keyboards) in New York City. Since 2018, he has also been the lead vocalist of Static-X, in which he performs under the name Xer0.
Edsel co-produced all of Dope's albums. On Felons and Revolutionaries , Dope's first album released in 1999, Edsel played and programmed most of the musical instruments.
In 2019, a masked lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist joined Static-X under the moniker Xer0 , which led to speculation and rumors that it was Edsel Dope. Edsel initially denied being Xer0, but later admitted to his role, saying that he and the band felt Xer0 should be a separate entity from Dope.
