Full Crate & Mar are
on the international forefront of progressive electronic and soul music.
Hailing from Amsterdam, they are on a headlining North American tour.
Since the buzz, which started in 2009 with their independent
free release of “She was Fly” which later became part of their debut ep
entitled “Conversations With Her”, Crate and Mar have worked and performed with
artists such as Eric Roberson, Erykah Badu, Mark Pritchard, Electric Wire
Hustle, Seiji, The Park, Daru Jones and Jesse Boykins III to name a few and
made remixes for Chris Turner, Anthony Valadez and Steve Reich. Both
having a recent solo EP to their name, Crate’s “Golden Glasses” and Mar’s
“Seeing Her Naked”, they are currently working on their full length album which
will release later this year.
Jesse Boykins III has
a timeless sound. He shares a point of view that crosses all genres,
generations and cultures. Every note and each word in all his recorded works,
to his live performance is skillfully crafted evoking emotions that can move
any listener across the world to examine and acknowledge those feelings within
themselves.
With the success of three great albums,music videos and many collaborations
with contemporaries such as The Foreign Exchange,Theophilus London,Full
Crate,MeLo-X, Machine Drum,and Phantom Lover he has gained international
recognition and built a loyal worldwide following.
Jesse’s talent and hard work was also recognized by BET in 2010 when they
tapped him to be a major component in their BET Music Matters campaign granting
him the distinction of being one of the first Independent Artists to premiere a
video on their popular show 106 & Park. Jesse was further rewarded by
earning a nomination for a 2010 Soul Train Award, which can be largely credited
to his release of the video, “Amorous” (dir. Jarrett Woo) and his worldwide
Romantic Movement Tour that year.http://jbiiimusic.com/
