Alexei Moon Casselle, known on stage as Crescent Moon, is a father, educator, and artist who first discovered the power of words at age 12—thanks to a teacher who turned classroom outbursts into creative writing assignments. By 15, he was writing rap lyrics and performing at South High School, launching a music career rooted in Hip Hop that remains at the core of his work. As a former member of the group Oddjobs and current member of Kill The Vultures, he has toured internationally and shared stages with artists like Snoop Dogg, Shock G of Digital Underground, and De la Soul. Over the years, his creative expression has expanded to include Folk/Americana, Spoken Word, and experimental music that resists easy categorization. Alexei is the proud father of a teenage daughter, and together they write and perform as the duo DoubleDragon. His journey as a parent deeply shapes both his songwriting and his work as a secondary educator, where he helps amplify young voices.
