WHAT DO YOU DREAM ABOUT? DOES YOUR LUCIDNESS REMAIN WHEN YOU WAKE? DEPENDING ON YOUR RESPONSE, THE COMPANY MAY DISPATCH AN OPERATOR TO YOUR LOCATION FOR REMEDIATION. DON’T SEEK US. WE’LL FIND YOU. YOU WON’T SEE US, YOU’LL HEAR US.

Originating from Fullerton, California—Dream Operator dispatches Edward Figueroa [lead vocals, guitar, keys], Richard Napalan [drums, percussion], and Andrew Gao [bass] to bring about changes in your brainwaves through moody guitar lines and a driving bass that carries with it haunting synths and emotionally confessive lyrics. Sink into your vulnerability through our melodic tension and dissonant resolution.

Dream Operator started as a passion project that quickly gained traction after winning a battle of the bands in Long Beach. That early win opened the door to a string of live shows, including sets at legendary venues like The Viper Room in Los Angeles, The Middle East in Boston, and Rockwood Music Hall in New York City. These aren’t just stops on a map—they’re rooms known for breaking emerging talent and hosting artists on the rise.

Their debut EP, Leave Her to Heaven (Oct 2024), was written during the isolation of the pandemic and shaped by the uncertainty of life for everyone. It’s a raw, thoughtful collection that explores heartbreak, anxiety, and connection in a world that often feels like it’s moving out of our control. With a growing fanbase and more music in the works, Dream Operator is making their way through Southern California’s indie, alternative, and rock scene—building something real, one show at a time.
