BBE Music is excited to present the long awaited, eponymous debut album from the USA/UK partnership of JTronius and Maverick Quest, aka Sons of the Sun.

Delivered remotely following a chance meeting on music-tech networking app ‘Brapp’, the ingenious pair sent files back and forth between Texas and South East London to manifest their shared vision for ‘Sons of the Sun’. Remarkably, the duo are still yet to meet in person.

A respected solo artist knighted by Bootsy Collins as an official ‘funkateer,’ Berklee College graduate JTronius is an extravagant entertainer, entrepreneur and lifestyle brand. Self- dubbed The Guvna of the Galaxy, he brings his swaggy, soulful style to all his endeavours. He has shared stages with LL Cool J, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Pharrell, Busta Rhymes and Damian Marley and is an accomplished actor, appearing in a number of successful Hollywood feature films.
Genre-blending record producer and multi-instrumentalist Maverick Quest grew up immersed in the aesthetic of hip hop. But in an environment where flipping loops from vinyl was standard, developing his musicianship to create his own sounds was radical, a move that paved the way for his signature sonic. He has previously performed with and produced for Guru, Grandmaster Flash, Ice T, Ibibio Sound Machine, Solo Rosa and Portico Quartet to name but a few, and is firmly rooted in the epicentre of the burgeoning South East London jazz movement.

Sons of the Sun’s debut long player features a host of luminary guests and musicians from all over the globe, including guitarist Dai Miyazaki (Bilal, Ms. Lauryn Hill, Tye Tribbett), keyboard player and vocalist Matt Cusson (Christina Aguilera, Brian McKnight), singer Ayesha Brooks (The Voice, Season 6), saxophonist & flautist Jelani M. Brooks (Ghost Note, RC & The Gritz, Erykah Badu), Boston rapper Madame Cruz and Scottish horn collective The Brasscats, among many others.

Mixed by Grammy-nominated Clinton “Ubiquity” McCreery and mastered at Grammy- awarded studio The Carvery, this album inks an impressive first chapter in the story of Sons of the Sun.

Sons Of The Sun - Shake It

With their self-titled debut album about to drop on BBE Music, transatlantic duo Sons of The Sun offer up new single ‘Sun Gods’, with a remix produced by M. Jelani Brooks featuring MonoNeon, Frank Moka and Mr. Lif.

A remote collaboration between Texas singer-songwriter JTronius and London-based producer Maverick Quest, Sons of the Sun features a truly global selection of luminary guests and musicians. ‘Sun Gods is surely one of the forthcoming debut album’s highlights, featuring trumpet by Jason Hunter and percussion by Brandon Mayes.

“It’s a dedication to the sun and the various ways throughout time people have perceived how the sun should be personified and spiritualized” says JTronius. “I told M. Jelani Brooks we were lookin’ for the right producer for a possible Sun Gods Remix. We met in Dallas and he said, ‘I’ll produce it and get MonoNeon and Frank Moka on there as well’. It was a no-brainer. Maverick and I both thought it needed the right rapper to bless it and a mutual friend of Mr. Lif’s FaceTimed me shortly after and said he needed me on a hook for one of his jams, so I told him I’d make a trade if he would perform a verse on the remix. Then Carl Eisman sprinkled some gorgeous guitar on there, and voila.”

Perfectly capturing the spirit of the Sons of The Sun’s organic and natural collaborative vision, this special remix was mixed by Grammy nominated engineer Clinton “Ubiquity” McCreery and mastered by Shawn Joseph at Optimum Mastering. Album ‘Sons of The Sun’ will be released December 3rd 2021 on vinyl, CD and digital formats.
