Sly5thAve
Brooklyn-based producer, composer, arranger, and multi-instrumentalist Sly5thAve presents his solo live show, fresh from a North American tour with Alfa Mist, and arranging/conducting for Questlove and the Dallas Symphony Orchestra. Known for his sophisticated compositions, Sylvester Uzoma Onyejiaka II aka Sly5thAve's sound is shaped by his faith in hip-hop, and deep understanding of soul, R&B and jazz.
With a core underground following, Sly5thAve is a Grammy award-winning horns player, whose projects have been backed by Jarobi White (A Tribe Called Quest), Gilles Peterson, Downbeat magazine, Noisey, NPR, The Fader, Jazz Times, Martin Freeman, Lauren Laverne, Cerys Matthews and more. He has also attained much respect from his work with a host of highly- fêted musicians including Prince, Stevie Wonder, Gladys Knight, The Dave Brubeck Quartet, Taylor Swift, Janelle Monae, Freddie Gibbs and Quantic.
Sly5thAve's musical inspirations span the worlds of jazz and hip hop, with icons like John Coltrane, Charlie Parker, and Cannonball Adderley influencing his artistic journey. Notably, his orchestral tribute to Dr. Dre, 'The Invisible Man' (Tru Thoughts) garnered widespread praise and attention, even earning the admiration of Dr. Dre himself.
