GOLDEN BLACK- INSPIRATION MEETS ASPIRATION
With their brand new “new age" genre : A mixture of all genres of music; this German-Japanese/American-Panamanian  duo is one of the most  aspiring pairs  of today's music industry. Tot and Ricky´s multicultural background  gave the group A very eclectic insight in all aspects of life, may it be political, or artistically. Breaking with conventions is a everyday aspect of the duo. Golden Black cant help but stay true to themselves, often sticking out of the norm, whether it be fashion, music or life itself. They are just as influenced by bands like Queen, Evanescence, and  artist like David Bowie,  and Nina Simone as they are by electronic or hip hop acts such as daft punk or Kanye West 
They both worked on solo projects before meeting.
