“Meet new school old school crooner BSKi, (pronounced “bee-skee”) with a touch Jamiroquai and neo-soul, it’s the pure poetry he’s writing that takes his sound to another level…” -Elevtrtrax.com
Brian Collazo, also known as BSKi, is a singer and songwriter based in New York City. The first generation “Nuyorican” grew up in a musical family, influenced by everything from the sounds of ‘90s R&B and Hip Hop, to the classic bolero music his father would sing & play around the house.
This musical upbringing led to a career as a highly sought after session singer and live vocalist in New York, working with the likes of the Roots, Shawn Mendes, Lorde, Lisa Lisa and many others.
His own music blends R&B, Funk & Hip-Hop with afro-latin rhythms in a style he half-jokingly refers to as “sancochofunk” (sancocho=stew or gumbo); infusing an often tongue-in-cheek lyrical approach with a highly percussive and magnetic stage show. More experiential than merely musical, these vibes are crafted to make you move something.
BSKi’s latest single “Get on the Floor” is a collaboration with long-time musical partner Greg Mayo and pairs lush Janet Jackson-esque harmonies with Puerto Rican plena rhythms and a New York club aesthetic. Like he said, sancochofunk. ;)
