Phony Ppl (USA)

Phony Ppl

ニューヨーク・ブルックリンで結成された5人組バンド。
彼らの音楽は、ジャズのハーモニー、R&Bの滑らかなグルーヴ、ヒップホップのリズム、そしてソウルフルなフィーリングが絶妙にブレンドされており、他に類を見ない独自のサウンドスケープを創り上げている。
2015年にリリースされたデビューアルバム『Yesterday's Tomorrow』は、インディーズシーンで大きな話題を呼び、その後の作品も高い評価を獲得。洗練された楽曲と、各メンバーの高い演奏力、そして何よりも彼らが生み出す独特の空気感が、多くの音楽ファンを惹きつけている。
ライブパフォーマンスも精力的に行っており、そのグルーヴィーでエネルギッシュなステージは観客を魅了し、世界中のフェスティバルやライブハウスで熱狂的な支持を得ている。

Comprised of the cream of Brooklyn’s young musician crop, each classically trained member is a product of musical parents who gifted their children exceptional DNA, exposure to the greats, and most importantly, wings for exploration and self-discovery. The result is a collective that’s as limitless as its music; one that has received praise from the likes of Tyler The Creator and Childish Gambino, performed with Erykah Badu, Jill Scott and The Roots, and killed festivals, late night television and their own residency at New York City’s legendary Blue Note.
The warmth of lyrics are mainly credited to lead vocalist Elbee Thrie, a former Manhattan School of Music student whose vocals possess a disarming charm and lyrics glow by advanced perspective and retrospection.
Trained composer, Aja Grant provides co-writing, the keys and much of the band’s arrangements. Strings are manned by guitarist Elijah Rawk and Bari Bass, PHONY PPL’s visual artist and bass player. The crew’s heartbeat is percussionist and former Music Conservatory student Mathew Byas (whose father is DJ Jazzy Jay of the legendary Zulu Nation).
After several jam sessions throughout high school, different iterations of the band, and honing in on their sonic cornucopia – the band has taken pride in their genre-less sound. Throughout the years, their music offerings have dabbled in experimental splashes of jazz, hip-hop, R&B, reggae, soul, rock and many more sub-genres.
