The Glitch Prophecy is a cyberpunk rock trio born from the tech industry's wreckage. Engineer, ethicist, and activist — Jax, Glitch, and Byte channel hard-won experience into a thunderous warning: AI is reshaping humanity, and time is running out.

The Glitch Prophecy emerged where the tech world and rock collide. Bassist and AI ethicist Jamal "Jax" Thompson, guitarist and AI engineer Alex "Glitch" Rivera, and keyboardist and policy activist Lena "Byte" Kim brought firsthand experience from corporate servers, ethics consultancies, and digital rights campaigns to forge a new kind of political rock. Their music is a manifesto — against algorithmic bias, reckless engineering, and the corporations that profit from both. Equal parts warning and war cry, The Glitch Prophecy exists to sound the alarm before the great glitch arrives.

The Glitch Prophecy is a political cyberpunk rock band founded in 2020 by three veterans of the technology sector who found that music was the only language powerful enough for what they needed to say. Jamal "Jax" Thompson (bass, backing vocals) spent a decade in tech, first as a self-taught developer in Chicago, then as an AI ethics consultant. He watched facial recognition software fail on darker skin tones. He watched companies promise fairness while delivering bias. Frustrated by the industry's pace of change, he turned to music to reach the people his reports never could. Alex "Glitch" Rivera (lead vocals, guitar) built generative AI models at a Los Angeles startup before witnessing his own creations spread misinformation and displace workers. The burnout was complete. The reckoning was total. He met Jax at a hackathon and found a collaborator who understood — not just the technology, but the human cost. Lena "Byte" Kim (guitar, synthesizer) came up through Seattle's digital rights activism scene, the daughter of Korean immigrants who worked in tech and saw its shadows clearly. A community college political education, years of NGO campaigning against surveillance, and freelance consulting work on AI transparency bills gave her a frontline view of how slowly institutions move — and how urgently they need to be pushed. Together, they formed The Glitch Prophecy: a band, a manifesto, and a warning. Their music draws on hard rock and industrial textures, filtered through the cold light of server rooms and the heat of protest lines. Every song is a transmission. Every show is a signal. The prophecy has been made. The glitch is coming — unless we act.
