"A Phoenix, to be transformed, must burn!"
Music is Medicine
NghtPhnx has navigated joy and hardship through expression in the arts and the sciences. The journey of self-discovery is arduous, but the dark night of the soul can either be the undoing or the proving ground. NghtPhnx chooses to use love and pain as grist for their mill; using music and visual art as paint for the canvas of life. Sound and color are the vehicles by which NghtPhnx creates aural environments where one can be moved, transformed or lose themselves.
NghtPhnx's eclectic musical style originates in a long time love for the work of Prince, Kate Bush and Joni Mitchell (see Prince’s cover of "A Case of You", songs "Ballad of Dorothy Parker" and "My Computer", and Kate Bush’s "Why Do I Love You" for clues to how these fantastic artists are connected). Add to that the influence of a mother who painted and sewed to smooth jazz, country and pop (think Dolly Parton, Gloria Gaynor, Olivia Newton-John and Donna Summer) and a father who worked and studied to a background of funk and soul, (think James Brown, Miles Davis, Rick James, and Curtis Mayfield). NghtPhnx peppers these core ingredients with a mixture of 80s New Wave and Hip-Hop, 90s House and Techno, and the beats of queer culture and the gay club scenes of New York and Los Angeles. This creates a genre-bending style that goes beyond categories. NghtPhnx will bring the party and get the vibe turned up or set a chill vibe for that perfect backdrop to life's meaningful events.
