My virtual band: five avatars performing under the name Stalign.
Stalign has performed for real people represented by their avatars in Second Life. Second Life is the largest user-created online virtual 3D world with about one million subscribers. In it’s heyday, bands like Duran Duran, ELO and Suzanne Vega streamed live music into Second Life’s virtual nightclubs. A result of the lockdown, Second Life, like many other forms of online entertainment, experienced a threefold increase in player activity.
The Stalign band’s original music isn’t restricted to Second Life. Stalign has a Sound Click account. Sound Click is an online, music-based social community with 4.5 million registered members (real people). About 530,000 bands and artists have uploaded/posted almost 5 million songs in categories such as instrumental, jazz, hip hop, EDM, rock, metal, classical and blues. As of 25-2025, Stalign has had seven number one songs (as measured by number of plays) in five genres: Jazz, World, Synthpop, Latin, and EDM.
Here is the EDM/Rock fusion song ‘Street People’:
