About sprites
1. Sprites was formed in Washington DC in 2002 by Jason Korzen (along with his wife, Amy Korzen) following the breakup of Barcelona. Korzen's frustration with the difficulties of being in a band led to the dissolution of Barcelona, and as a result, Sprites has an ever-changing line-up. Participants include Christian Scanniello, Ivan Ramiscal, Kevin Alvir, Armin Pruessner, Derek Strausbaugh, and Reid Dossinger, with only Jason and Amy remaining as constant members. The band released Starling, Spiders, Tiger and Sprites in 2003 on March Records, the EP Bionic Hands in 2004 through the Spanish label Lejos Discsos and their second album titled Modern Gameplay was released in 2006 through the Darla Records label. 2. Sprites is a 11 year old self taught handpan artist who exploded on social media worldwide within just a few months. When she touched the handpan in March 2025 for the first time there was an instant and undeniable connection. Refusing to get a teacher she taught herself entirely by intuition. In autumn she began sharing her music on Instagram and TikTok. Within just a few months, her improvised performances have reached over 80 million views and gathered 500.000 followers across both platforms. Listeners describe her music as magical, healing, and beyond her years - as if she were channeling something timeless. Her upcoming debut album will feature both acoustic handpan and produced versions with energetic beats, blending pure emotion with rhythm and flow.
