Voltaire (real name Aurelio Voltaire Hernández) (born January 25, 1967, in Havana, Cuba[2]), is a musician popular in the goth scene. He takes his stage name from famous French Enlightenment writer François-Marie Arouet.
Voltaire is also an experienced animation and comic artist, and is a professor at the School of Visual Arts in New York.[3]
Name
Voltaire chose his pseudonym as he claims his namesake “saw through the hypocrisies of humanity and commented on them through satire. In essence, he was able to educate people about the world around them by making them laugh.”[4]
Voltaire has been asked about his real name on multiple occasions. He tends to not answer such questions, either suggesting that his real name is in fact Voltaire, or otherwise avoiding the question.[5]
One theory Voltaire has been asked about is the name “Bernie Weinstein”, based on a recurring character in his song lyrics and books. Bernie appears both as the boy who changes his name to Voltaire in What is Goth?[6] and as the “fool in the cape” in “The Vampire Club”.[7] However, Voltaire has adamantly denied being Bernie Weinstein, and stated that “Bernie is just an archetypal character that I think really sums up a lot of the people I have met in the Goth scene over the years.”[8]

I always ending up quoting lyrics from the "Happy Birthday" song to people and they don't understand how funny it is because they don't know Voltaire. :'(

Almost Human is a good choice, as it's my favorite. :) I would say, though, that his first CD, Devil's Bris, is an important one to have since it has many of his classic songs on it.
