Singer/Writer Tye James and writer/producer Jon Buscema draw upon a fondness for vibey, mood driven sounds, honest lyrics, and explosive pop hooks to deliver the dynamic sound of KNGDAVD. Tye and Jon met at the University of the Arts where they both considered themselves Jazz school rejects. The two rarely worked together at Uarts, but Jon did give Tye his first cigarette, subconsciously incepting him with the idea for the first song they would write together - "cigarette." The duo reconnected a few years later and hid away in a basement studio for two years to develop their sound. Their lead single SAY MY NAME, which went #1 on HypeMachine has been called a hybrid of Maroon5, Prince & AWOLNation. KNGDAVD's follow up POPPIES from their upcoming EP was just released, be sure to catch them playing live around NYC soon.
