Scandroid is the brainchild of Klayton, an artist and producer hailing from Detroit, best known for his multi-genre project Celldweller. Scandroid serves as Klayton's nostalgic undertaking, drawing inspiration from sounds of the ‘80s, ‘90s, and beyond.

The self-titled debut Scandroid album (2016) and sophomore album Monochrome (2017), each received critical acclaim with #1 iTunes Electronic Album charting, plus Top 5 Billboard Electronic Album Sales Charting. Scandroid's success has spawned tens of millions of online streams, over 500,000 global monthly listeners and 250,000 worldwide followers and a collection of remixes from respected artists, including: Dance With The Dead, PYLOT, Lazerpunk, Daniel Deluxe, GosT, Makeup and Vanity Set, Waveshaper, Fury Weekend, Volkor-X, VHS Dreams and more.

“Scandroid is my musical destination that allows me to explore the sounds that defined some of the best times of my life.” - Klayton
