Jaewar & Vibe Riot is a forward-thinking and charismatic collective with an Acid Jazz sound that bridges the gaps between several musical genres. The brain-child of Creative Director and lead vocalist "JAEWAR", Vibe Riot is like a fine red Bordeaux where notes of Jazz, Reggae, Soul, and Spoken Word dance with an aroma of vintage Hip Hop and a not too sweet or tart wall of percussion and brass. Inspired by artists as diverse as The Roots, Lauryn Hill, and Yasin Bey (Mos Def), Jaewar & Vibe Riot are all about connecting with listeners through their energy and organic feel. The collective puts a particular emphasis on the live aspect of their music, mostly producing and performing their work as a unit, exploring the unique chemistry that can only come from a group of musicians performing together. Jaewar & Vibe Riot’s retro sonic aesthetics and thought-provoking lyrics are the most compelling weapons in their arsenal, alongside their verve as a live band and diverse musical palette.
