Azure Star was formed in 2008 by collaborating artists Sonic Remix of Illusion and Cameron Hons. The collaboration came when Illusion announced that it would be working on its second album, project name "Sonic Illusions 2" (Now Azure Star). Cameron approached Shayne with a demo remix of Illusion's "Save the World". After resquencing the song, the two collaborators came up with the final remix. Since then, they have been working on songs for the upcoming first album "A New Generation"

Sound
Azure Star isn't typically a genre. Instead they use a wide range of genres in their music. You won't expect what you'll hear next! It's like a computer wanting to be in a band....so it needs drums...and robots to operate the instruments....sounding like that you are in the future while listening to the album.
Production
The band does not have a recording studio. So instead they make their songs on the internet. They then send them to each other online.
