Embassy and Royal P
No statement could better describe the talented music making duo of Embassy and Royal P than "two heads are better than one." Embassy, born and raised in South Florida, provides the thunderous Miami bass and Gospel-inspired rhythms of percussion. Royal P, the son of a famous Maryland jazz musician, swoons crowds with his jazz and go-go charged melodies and chords. Together, these two musicians display a unique dichotomy through their artistic differences creating a sound seldom heard in the music industry. Having worked with a plethora of artists from gospel to R&B, jazz, hip-hop, pop, and even rock, Embassy and Royal P’s sound cannot be solely labeled or categorized by any one of those genres. Embassy and Royal P pride themselves on being sporadic and unpredictable, not only musically but as friends and music lovers that never forget the essence of their craft: having fun.
