His unique blend of traditional African rhythms with modern pop has made him a favorite amongst fans around the world. He continues to push boundaries with each new release and is sure to be remembered for years to come. Kuria has collaborated with many different artists over the years including Wizkid, M.I., Patoranking, Sarkodie, and more. He has also performed live at many festivals around the world including the Afrobeats Festival in London and the World Music Expo in Tokyo. Elijah Fox is a critically-acclaimed multi-instrumentalist, singer, and producer based in Los Angeles. He began playing piano at age 11 and was mentored early on by Yusuf Salim, who played piano in Charlie Parker’s famous bebop band, before going on to study piano at Oberlin Conservatory of Music, where he studied with legendary modern jazz pianists Sullivan Fortner, Billy Hart, Dan Wall, and Gary Bartz. Elijah is the primary keyboardist for Yusef Dayes and performed with him recently for a weeklong residency at the Blue Note in NYC. Fox is influenced by Art Tatum, Ravel, Ahmad Jamal, Scott Storch, Robert Glasper, and Erroll Garner, and his irresistibly unique sound blends elements of jazz, impressionism, and psychedelic soul. His extensive and much sought after samples, which themselves have been sampled by the likes of Drake, span genres of neo-soul, R&B, lo-fi hip hop, trap, and indie rock. Fox has performed his original music at sold-out shows across the United States and Europe, at iconic clubs including Ronnie Scott's (London), Biko (Milan), and Monk (Rome), among many others.
