Straight from the heart of Boston, eight young and ambitious musicians have come together to form what is arguably the city’s most diverse popular band. As stated right in their name, The Eclectic Collective is just that—a collective of artists from numerous facets of the local music community, coming together to make an entirely new sound. Drummer Sheel Davé is known for his role in the city’s experimental metal group IREPRESS, while other members such as vocalists Dua and Noni Kai bring influences from a variety of urban music styles. Over the recent years, the group has worked together extensively in crafting a sound that intimately combines rock, R&B, soul, jazz, hip-hop and more into one new identity. Now, with their sophomore album The Flux on the market and a US tour well underway, we hear what the band has to say about their growing career.
SF: It’s hard not to notice EC’s large roster of members. You’ve got 8 talented musicians, all hailing from various cultural and musical backgrounds, creating a sound that’s as cohesive as it is diverse. How did you all manage to get together?
Sheel Davé (drums): To make a long and boring story short: I was filling in for a band that consisted of Santi, RP, and Graham, and at the same time I was writing songs with Salim and Dua. I decided to bring both sides together and the rest is history.
Salim Akram (guitar): It was more natural than most people would think. This question gets asked a lot.
