A B o u t

Monsterboy LIVES, The love story of non-binary rocker meets classical girl, using old and odd instrumentation with modern elements. Antique saxophones, soulful vocals, vintage keys meet electronic beats, world percussion, and found sound samples. In a world still clinging to the binary, this couple celebrates the space in between.
