Local producer Oscar Key Sung has been around a lot this last year — and we are not upset about it in the slightest. This Thursday, January 12 he returns to Boney for a show in the bandroom, along with Kimchi Princi, Jalé and Nico Niquo.
Cutting his teeth in the music industry as one half of Oscar + Martin back in 2010, Oscar has been garnering praise and collab invites ever since. Most notably, in 2013 he was picked by Mercury Music Prize-nominated mc Ghostpoet and Brooklyn-based artist MeLo-X to produce their debut release as MELOGHOST, 'WecanWORKitout'. He's also been getting spins from BBC Radio 6 programmer Gilles Peterson, Twitter props from Years & Years and one of his latest singles 'All I Could Do' has clocked over 100k listens on Soundcloud and been remixed by Naysayer and Gilsun.
In describing his sound on his official Niche Productions bio, Oscar said "It's a bit of a mess... I suppose I'm just a part of this generation of oversaturation, where it's easy to be as influenced Arvo Pärt as you are by Drake."
