- Alan Vega (born Boruch Alan Bermowitz on June 23, 1938) is the vocalist for 1970s and 80s no wave duo Suicide. Bermowitz graduated with a degree in art from Brooklyn College and began his artistic career doing light sculptures. In 1974 he opened a small gallery in lower Manhattan, where he started to create the "Project of Living Artists", a pluri-artistic place to develop various happenings or artistic attempts. Here, he met a jazz band called Reverend B, in which Martin Rev (Martin Reverby) played electric piano. Martin Rev would later become Alan Vega's partner in Suicide. In 1980, Alan Vega released his eponymous first solo record, which contained "Jukebox Babe", one of his best known songs, and defined the kind of rockabilly style that he would follow for some years. Later in his career he made a commercial attempt ("Just a Million Dreams"), which proved to be unsuccessful.. Vega teamed up with Martin Rev again toward the end of the 80's and released the third Suicide album, "A Way of Life" (1988), then met future wife and music partner Liz Lamere while piecing together sound experiments which would evolve into his fourth solo album, "Deuce Avenue" (1990). "Deuce Avenue" marked the return toward a more repetitious and electronic approach (similar to his work with Suicide) in which Vega mixed beat driven machines and effects with spoken word and free-form prose. More solo albums, Suicide performances and music collaborations followed, then in 2002 Vega constructed the exhibit "Collision Drive" which contained a series of light sculptures mixed with found art and crucifixes. 2007 saw the release of Vega's tenth solo album, "Station" on Blast First Records, which took five years in the making and can be considered his most politically charged and cacophonous work yet. Alan Vega still continues to perform solo and with Suicide to this day.

- Alan Vega est le chanteur du duo electro/post-punk Suicide. Le chant rockabilly d'Alan Vega semble influencé par celui d'Elvis Presley. Il a commencé comme artiste, avec une certaine notoriété acquise par ses "sculptures de lumière"; il gérait et vivait dans une sorte de galerie à Manhattan, appelée "Projet d'Artistes Vivants" (the Project of Living Artists). L'endroit était fréquenté par les New York Dolls, Television et Blondie, ainsi que l'ensemble de jazz Reverend B. , au sein duquel Martin Rev jouait du piano électrique. Alan Vega et Martin Rev formèrent bientôt Suicide, dont la musique minimaliste et agressive — mélange des claviers répétitifs et inquiétants de Martin Rev et des cris et halètements rockabilly d'Alan Vega — ouvrit la voie pour les artistes de musique électronique à venir. En 1980, chacun des membres entament aussi des carrières solos. Dans ses deux premiers albums (Alan Vega - 1980 et Collision Drive - 1981), Alan Vega continue à explorer la voie du Rockabilly fracturé. Saturn Strip sorti en 1983 et produit par un fan de longue date, Ric Ocasek, marque l'entrée d'Alan Vega chez Elektra Records; mais ses relations avec le label s'envenimèrent pendant la production de Just a Million Dreams en 1985 au point qu'ils essayèrent d'évincer le chanteur de ses propres sessions d'enregistrement.
- Negli anni settanta e ottanta è stato la voce dei Suicide, duo no wave.
