Phony Ppl is an eclectic and dynamic group hailing from Brooklyn, New York. This band brings a fresh mix of soul, funk, R&B, and hip-hop to the music scene, with a sound that refuses to be pigeonholed. Formed in 2010, the group is composed of Elbee Thrie (vocals), Aja Grant (keyboard), Elijah Rawk (guitar), Bari Bass (bass guitar), and Matthew Byas (drums). Together, they create groovy and melodically rich compositions that capture the energy of their diverse musical influences.

The band has steadily built a name for themselves with their irresistible blend of laid-back beats, intricate instrumentals, and thought-provoking lyrics. Their portfolio of innovative tracks includes singles such as "Fkn Around," which notably features Megan Thee Stallion and has been remixed by various artists, demonstrating the group's influence and versatility. Not only do they stand out in the studio, but their live performances, such as the one at NPR's Tiny Desk, highlight their ability to bring spontaneous energy and musicianship to their audiences. With the release of albums like "mō'zā-ik." and singles like "Nowhere But Up," Phony Ppl continue to push the boundaries of contemporary music while weaving a narrative that resonates with listeners worldwide.
