Theon Cross is expanding the sonic possibilities of tuba playing and is at the forefront of the thriving London jazz scene. Reflecting his own heritage, the young musician melds jazz with dub, hip-hop, soca, grime and other sounds from the Afro-Caribbean diaspora. In addition to his solo endeavours, Cross is a core member of Mercury-nominated group Sons Of Kemet and has collaborated with Little Simz, Stormzy, Moses Boyd, Nubya Garcia, Kano and others. An incredible live performer who's constantly looking to push boundaries, Cross participated in SXSW Online earlier this year with both a live set recorded at Abbey Road Studios and, using motion capture technology, as a virtual avatar in a VR showcase. His sets were featured in the likes of The New York Times, Rolling Stone and more.
Stay tuned for more from Theon Cross throughout 2021.
