With a unique energy and sound that bounces between genres, Your Cousin Avi brings listeners together with music that is refreshing, vulnerable, groovy, and relatable. His EP “Asher” arrives digitally and via Limited Edition Cassette April 22nd via The Hopes & Dreams Club, courtesy of Jakarta & 823 Records.
The 6-track EP sways from raw, percussive-driven rhythms to stunning harmonically driven ballads to jubilant danceable grooves that showcases Avi’s breadth and skills as a young, up-and-coming artistic talent. Creative powerhouse Ta-ku, Hopes & Dreams Club founder, says that “everything Avi does feels so special & fills me with raw inspiration.” We’re excited to bring this bright, creative energy out into the musical world!
Growing up, Avi developed his talent as a musician through singing in Synagogue, playing bass in a blues band, and learning several other musical crafts in his free time. In high school he discovered a strong passion for dance, and through his time spent performing musicals, there was no denying that he was indeed a triple threat. During his time in college, Avi took a short hiatus from music to continue pursuing his passion for dance, but after just a couple years, found that dance was bringing him full circle back to music. Now with his focus set, his skills fine-tuned, and his determination to continue growing at all costs, Avi is starting to turn heads and make a unique impact on the music world.
“Asher,” Avi says, “is an accompaniment for many emotions, many occasions, and quite characteristic of the spontaneity in life that I seek & cherish.” This EP sways between infallible dancefloor ready gems and contagiously bouncy grooves while showcasing a well-honed¬¬¬ sound. Your Cousin Avi has developed a finely tuned ear in bridging different sounds cohesively. As 823 head Ta-ku says of Avi, “From the very beginning, Your Cousin Avi has been a musical powerhouse. Filled with such spontaneous & bright creative energy that oozes out of everything he does. I’m excited for the world to hear our very first Hopes & Dreams Club musical output. Much love and eternal gratitude goes out to Avi for allowing us to showcase his heart.”
