After spending the better part of the past couple of years on the road playing to packed clubs filled with enthusiastic young fans, Funaki is excited to return to his Southern California home studio preparing his next set of genre-melding releases. His unique blend of soulful, psychedelic indie rock, with R&B, hip-hop and flourishes of shoegaze and jazz allows his muse to move in any/all directions at once and still come away sounding only like Marlon Funaki.
His Warner Records debut track is a dreamy, Latin groove-infused “Let You In,” set for a January 9threlease. In the months ahead, his yet-untitled forthcoming major label EP, finds the artist unafraid to explore all sonic possibilities, including the proggy “Skin,” are texturized, dizzying soul-driven journeys, while the deliberate melodies of “Trillion Things” and “Meant to Be ”highlight Funaki’s lyrical prowess.“ It still amazes me to this day that something that I made in my bedroom traveled this far,” he says of his rising popularity with an ever-growing global fan base. “It’s cool to see how far that music travels.” This is just the beginning of the next exciting chapter in a truly exciting musical universe.
