Alpaca Presents
The King Chameleon
+ Butterjunk, Amri
The King Chameleon is a fusion jazz group inspired and personified by a range of styles, sounds and concepts from instrumental hip-hop to psychedelic rock. Founded upon the lofi beats of producer Vivek Varia, this newly formed band seeks to both maintain and expand such sounds into the realms of experimentation and improvisation.
Following success through editorial playlist placements on both Spotify and Apple Music, as well as being scouted by A&R Apple Music subsidiary Platoon, the time has come to transpose the minimalist yet certainly noteworthy sound of these beats to a band ready to embark upon sonical freedom. Their debut live session at Bristol’s Jam Jar, as well as their debut EP, tracks of which span from house-infused electronic grooves to samba-tinged disco, demonstrates the grandiose of this transposition as well as their chemistry and individual talent as musicians.
Amri blends smooth, sultry edges of jazz and soul within the colourful lyrical melodies reflecting her Carnatic roots. Branching into a range of sounds Amri balances relatable lyrics to a fun fresh groove. She touches on her exposure in the world as a young woman of colour; translating this into getting you to feel, sing and move with her.
