Onyx Collective are one of the most talked about artists in NYC's burgeoning new jazz scene. The group are known for their pop-up performances in both rugged DIY spaces and esteemed clubs, and have previously collaborated live with artists such as Princess Nokia, Wiki (Ratking), Dev Hynes (Blood Orange) and Julian Soto. With band-leader Isaiah Barr boasting 3 features on the new David Byrne record and making a recent cameo in Ibeyi’s live band for their performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
Following the critical success of his debut EP series "Where Will We Go”, psychedelic soul artist Nick Hakim released his acclaimed debut album "Green Twins" last year, featuring the Onyx Collective collaboration ‘Those Days’. Nick also joined Onyx on their recent run of UK dates, a whirlwind 6 shows over 4 days, including playing to a full-house at Ronnie Scotts 'Late Late Show’.
Onyx will be back playing live in the UK in May, with an album due later this year on Big Dada. You can also catch their monthly NTS show here.
