Self-described “Brass House” trio Too Many Zooz make manically kinetic instrumental music that combines avant-garde jazz, EDM, punk rock, and sundryother traditions into their own distinctive brand of high-energy dance music. A viral sensation since theyfirst emerged as New York subway buskers in 2013, Too Many Zooz have evolved into a globally recognized phenomenon who tour often and produce YouTube videos that have garnered millions of views. Formed in 2013 in New York City, Too Many Zooz features thet alents of baritone saxophonist Leo “Leo P” Pellegrino, trumpeter Matt “Doe” Muirhead, and drummer David “King of Sludge” Parks. Pellegrino and Muirhead initially met while students at the Manhattan School of Music where they studied jazz. They eventually joined forces with percussionist Parks, whom Pellegrino had played with in a separate busking outfit. They began playing live at various New York subway stations and quickly attracted crowds with their aggressive instrumental sound and Pellegrino’s ability to dance and hype the audience like a DJ while playing. In 2014, a video of the band went viral and helped set the stage for the group’s meteoric rise. In 2016, the trio released their debut full-length album, Subway Gawdz, which featured guest spots from Kreayshawn, Armani White, members of Galactic, and Beats Antique. That same year they were featured on Beyonce’s Lemonade album, and performed with Beyonce and The Dixie Chicks at the 50th Annual CMA Awards. Over the course of the next several years, Too Many Zooz continued to release EPs and singles–including ZombiEP (2019), a concept album about a fictional band playing a music festival during a zombie outbreak, plus collaborations and remixes with The Floozies, Beats Antique, Spencer Ludwig, Moon Hooch, Dot Cromwell, Nitty Scott, Lester London, and RoRo. All of that set the stage for the band’s 2024 sophomore album Retail Therapy–a 13-song chronicle of auditory subway cinema that features appearances from Moon Hooch, Thumpasaurus, Lucky Chops, and Too Many T’s.

Versatile and passionate, Täbï Yösha is a Quebec singer of Haitian origin who distinguishes herself with her rich and powerful voice. Following numerous collaborations with figures from the hip hop and electro scenes, she is now ready to unveil her own project. With her electronic and neo-soul infused R&B, she explores universal themes such as love and seduction in a way that is as personal as it is refreshing. Trained in singing, theater and dance, Täbï quickly started performing as a member of The Souldiers, a jazz/house band with which she played numerous shows. Her talent and stage presence also brought her to the forefront as a solo artist, notably at Femmes en blues, an event that showcases female musicians and singers from the Quebec scene, and at the Sugar Bar in New York City, a venue founded by Ashford & Simpson, the legendary songwriting couple behind some of Marvin Gaye’s, Chaka Khan’s, and Aretha Franklin’s greatest hits. She then went on to lend her voice to Ariane Moffatt’s Aquanaute 2022, which was nominated at this year’s Gala de l’ADISQ. In January 2020, Täbï Yösha released All Day All Night, a sultry and sensual R&B track. Move On, a francophone neo-soul song, followed in September. The impromptu performances she would post on Instagram quickly caught the attention of beatmaker Suiker, who sent her some instrumentals that soon convinced her to put her voice and songwriting skills to work. From this collaboration are born the songs assembled into her debut EP, True Colors, which was released via Bonsound in August 2023. Bearing witness to a period characterized by setbacks and heartbreak, True Colors takes the form of a collection of emancipating tracks that embodies the lover in Täbï’s heart.
