Drew Fortier is an award-winning filmmaker, actor, author, and musician known for his work with a multitude of artists spanning many mediums; most recently and notably as a co-founder and guitarist for The Lucid which also features Sponge front man Vinnie Dombroski, Megadeth co-founder/bassist David Ellefson, and Fear Factory drummer Mike Heller.
Fortier established himself as a multi-faceted creative force by way of directing the critically acclaimed rock documentary Attack of Life: The Bang Tango Movie followed by joining Bang Tango as a guitarist which led him to write Dark, Depressing, and Hilarious; a sarcastic and sardonic memoir about his eclectic experiences cutting his teeth in the music business up to that point which also included joining the solo band for now late Faith No More front-man Chuck Mosley.
After taking a left turn into acting, Fortier co-starred in the low budget cult horror film Her Name Was Christa which has been critically acclaimed as being 'the most romantic necrophilia love story ever told'.
In 2021, he went on to portray a fictionalized version of himself in the critically confused and multi award-winning zero budget found footage horror film Dwellers which has been described as C.H.U.D. if it were shot like The Blair Witch Project.
Fortier has gone on to co-star in films: Brimstone Incorporated, Trivial, and the upcoming Side Effects May Vary which is indie cult legend J.R. Bookwalter's first directorial effort in twenty years.
In addition to his book 'Dark, Depressing, and Hilarious' he also co-authored the fiction thriller Rock Star Hitman with The Lucid bandmate David Ellefson.
2023 saw the release of Saddle Up and Ride, the sophomore effort from The Lucid; a 5 track EP which features Insane Clown Posse's Violent J on guest vocals.
