Thundercat is a Los Angeles-born bassist and singer known for his eccentric and genre-blending artistry. He picked up bass at an early age, drawing heavy influence from jazz icons like Stanley Clarke and Marcus Miller. As a teenager, he began his professional career touring with punk band Suicidal Tendencies, and later collaborating with jazz and neo-soul acts like Raphael Saadiq, Erykah Badu and Kamasi Washington. His 2017 album Drunk cemented his popularity as a solo artist, gaining critical acclaim for his virtuosic style that weaves together deep funk grooves, bright, up-tempo electronica, intricate jazz rhythms and elements of pop, soul and psychedelia. Here he opens for rock band The Strokes.
