Alfunction, born Alan Leonard James in Costa Mesa, California on June 9, 1972,[1] is an American guitarist. His stage name was bestowed upon him in 1994, by future bandmate Lauren Boquette, in reference to his band at the time, "Malfunction". He currently plays guitar for Six, the band he formed with Lauren Boquette in 2001.
He was previously a hired guitarist for Cypress Hill during the Skull and Bones tours, making his debut U.S. performance for the band while playing keyboard on the Conan O'Brien show.
