BIGYUKI is NYC’s musical secret weapon.
The New York based, Japanese keyboardist, composer and producer has built an international reputation for blending jazz, hip hop, rock, electronic and dance music influences into something wholly his own. His unique sound has attracted collaborators from across the musical spectrum, with credits including landmark recordings with A Tribe Called Quest and J. Cole, tours with Kamasi Washington, and collaborations with artists including Lauryn Hill, Robert Glasper, Meshell Ndegeocello, Snarky Puppy, ATARASHII GAKKO and more.
But on stage with his own trio is where BIGYUKI truly comes alive. This is music that demands to be experienced in person: high-energy, unpredictable and utterly immersive. Expect thunderous grooves, explosive improvisation, deep bass and moments that veer from hypnotic to euphoric without warning. Bold, bracing and built for late-night abandon, BIGYUKI doesn't just cross musical boundaries. He erases them.
