Working on stolen Gadigal land, Kyoshi is a conversation of rhythm and melody.
The Sydney-based four piece have synthesised their own distinctive voice, a crossover sound of London jazz and psychedelic soul - that soulfully stimulates both the mind and body.
Grounding their sound in nu-jazz and future-soul, the tight, honey drenched rhythms will send you to the moon and back - the perfect foundation to sit beneath the breathy croons of lead vocalist Leah Wilkie.
Kyoshi’s live show has developed into an instinctual, artistic experience - a collaborative experiment between four immensely creative students of music. Their musicianship alone constitutes for an unbelievably tight concert, that’s scored them festival slots as Bohemian Beatfreaks, Psyland, Paisley Days and sold-out countless east-coast venues.
Their audience grows with each performance from a shared love of syncopated rhythms and lo-fi, head-nodding grooves.
Their debut LP ‘Kyoshi’ is set for release later this year, and will demonstrate Kyoshi’s ability to add character to each genre they weave through.
