Justin Niemi steps out with accessible songs about faith and relationships meant to engage and ultimately encourage the listener.

Professional bassist Justin Niemi got his start playing in the powerful Detroit-based alternative/indie rock trio Exit the Ordinary and quickly proved themselves a formidable musical presence, not just in the Motor City, but throughout the American Midwest, Eastern Seaboard, the South and eventually signed to INO/SRE Records based in Nashville, TN becoming label mates with the likes of Skillet, Flyleaf and MercyMe. After the band's separation, Justin started writing and recording his own songs which lead to his first solo project entitled Beneath The Surface (2019). Single "Keep On Moving" (2020) and newest single the Worship pop demo “Jesus Almighty” was released in May 2025.

A new jam band that share homes in Denver, CO and Birmingham, AL. Looking forward to grooving with you all.

"Consistently adventurous hip-hop that pushes the outer limits of numerous styles."
-Paul Demerritt, Crib Notes - Creative Loafing ATL

Monkier, formed in 2013 out of the local Atlanta jazz scene, is an 8-piece band that seamlessly fuses elements of modern jazz into the hip-hop genre, creating something radically new in the process.

The intricate raps, provided by emcee and keyboardist Zac Evans, smoothly flow over the polyrhythmic foundation laid down by the band. Their songs evolve unexpectedly, weaving between horn section flourishes, jazzy guitar solos, atmospheric synths, and smart vocals- all while never losing the groove. The band currently features Andrew Lastrapes (guitar), Robert Boone (drums), Brandon Boone (bass), Umcolisi Terrell (sax), Justin Powell (trumpet), Will Hollifield (sax), and Richard Sherrington (trombone). 

Monkier released their eponymously titled debut album in April 2014 to positive reviews from various publications. They are currently in the process of recording their second LP and touring throughout the southeast.
