The power of music is undeniable -fusing persons of all cultures, ethnicities, races, & genders. Its hard to separate oneself from the feeling that it brings and from the first free style session overlooking the city of Honolulu, the sacred language spoke and Andy Jenkins came to be.
Respectively known as Jazz & Sno, the two joined forces through what some would call a string of synchronistic events. What began as rapping evolved into singing & rapping,  & soon followed acoustic, as well as a deeper understanding of the true nature of the collaboration.
Cultivating their skills from opposite sides of the country for most of their lives, ascending from Maryland, Sno evolved & harvested a love for music from legends of all genres, such as Phil Collins, Michael Franks, Sting, Nas, Eminem, Lauren Hill, & Alicia Keys. Representing LA, Jazz developed an early love for percussion which only broadened the thirst for sound, paving the way to melody. Majority of the artist that have affected her music reign from hip hop dynasties and smirk in the shadowy haze of blues and jazz clubs. With both naturally poetic lyricists and passionate musicians wanting to ignite and unite, the bond came supernatural.
Today, the duo looks forward to bringing people a fresh look and sound that uniquely resembles the roots from which we came.
