When you are given the name Martin Luther King Chavez Dosh, it's a safe bet that you're in for a pretty atypical upbringing that likely won't result in punching the clock as a typical 9-to-5er.

"My parents are pacifists and named my brother after Ghandi as well," shares electronic musician Dosh in an interview with The Japan Times prior to a gig in New York. "In general, people always thought I had a cool name. I thought it was cool for sure. It is pretty hard to live up to, though."

Born to a former Catholic priest and a mother who nearly became a nun, the Minneapolis-based artist took an active interest in music from a very early age, seeking training before he was barely out of diapers.
