strongboi is a passion fueled project of long time friends & collaborators Alice & Ziv. Driven by a playful energy that lights up their live shows, the band pull out all the stops when performing. Originally this began with a super lo-fi vision of using mainly casio keyboards & toys, but today they have filled out and evolved as a full band project which lit up Village Underground at their sold out London show back in March. This dynamic setup also earned them the Anchor Award for Best Newcomer at Reeperbahn Festival last September.

Strongboi released their self-titled debut album back in 2023 which took shape as a 7-track compendium of bouncing bangers and smooth, rolling grooves, all delivered with charming authenticity. Since they launched, strongboi have accumulated much acclaim, including warm words from the likes of NPR, Clash, Notion, COLORS and KCRW, not to mention being hand picked by Elton John for his Rocket Hour. With their loyal fanbase racking up over 20 million streams, people will be thrilled to learn that strongboi are back and ready to douse you in their signature slinky, superb ear-worms.
