About Me

Coming together in the Winter of 2007, the group got together to record one of Ryan Nava's demo's for a studio project but we continued to play regularly at this underground practice studio we were renting and it was there we began really locking in with each other and feeling that this was a sound we wanted to pursue. A hand full of shows followed and after seperating for the summer due to members travelling, 6thdegree is back and ready to continue where we left off hitting you with laid back beats and thoughtful lyrics while trying to bring integrity back into the forefront of the modern day industry. All the members in 6thdegree are solid players and come from different styles of music. This leads to a tight sound with influences spanning funk, hip-hop, reggae, dub and many others. Our plan now is to continue writing new material, evolving our sound and taking every chance we can to play for people be it at a venue, a house party, a festival or even on some sidewalk in boston. Keep checking back here for new demos and info on shows and our progress in getting our asses into the studio and cutting some real tracks. Take care,

Influences: Each member of 6thDegree comes from a different musical background so our range of personal influence spans the entire spectrum of sound. We are as much influenced by the Blues Master, Robert Johnson as we were Jazz Master, Thelonious Monk or Ska/Rock Masters, The Police. We are also influenced by all artists dedicated to making music out of their pure love of art and connection to experience and the music. It doesn't matter what genre you play because genre is obsolete once you've created something that is simply great music. We believe anything an artist writes truly for its own aesthetic value is great music.
