about artist

So this is SIXX … the young nine-piece band that delivers some of the sexiest urban sounds with captivating vocals and edgy rap backed by live instrumentation on horns, drums, guitars, bass, keyboards, synthesizers and everything else you can imagine.

Led by ELLE’s Music Act of the Year, Kevin Lester, this exciting 9-piece band delivers live performances that are second to none. They are adept at warming up the crowd and “bringing the crazy” to international audiences, having played at concerts & festivals like ZOUKOUT‘s 10th Anniversary 2010, Sunburst KL International Festival 2009, Mosaic Music Festival 2011, Roktober 2010, Asia Hip Hop Festival 2011, MIDEM 2012 amongst others.

With a sound that focuses on bridging the new, electronic rock and Hip Hop while paying homage to funk, soul and jazz of the 70s, SIXX is already being billed as a act to look out for in 2012. Think The Roots meets The Black Keys meets Jamiroquai, and you’d have a taste of SIXX.

Their highly anticipated single “Supersonic” is releasing end January 2012, to coincide with their travels to France. SIXX will also be apart of the Singapore Night showcase at MIDEM 2012. “Supersonic” Music Video will also debut mid/end February and is produced by the award winning creative agency, Kinetic. SIXX played a key part in MINI’s viral push to promote the Cabrio in Singapore, reaching 250,000 people and earning 13000 complete views in less than 1 month.

They have just wrapped up a feature in a TV programme that airs in 8 countries, including China, in March 2012. They have 3 other singles already in production, and will be releasing a new single every quarter. Their full album will be released in End 2012.

Having played alongside popular international acts such as N*E*R*D, Korn, David Guetta, Booka Shade and Midnight Juggernauts among others, SIXX continues to experiment, meshing soundscapes yet staying true to form – a stunning live act.

SIXX has been hailed by the media and fans as “the best Hip Hop band in Singapore”.
