BLVCKBOW

Across a radiant aura of cascading sonic colors, Jasmine Crowe and Brittni Paiva are the duo BLVCKBOW. From their mutual hometown of Hilo on the Big Island of Hawaii, the two artists followed solo paths. Jasmine, a singer-songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist, has played violin since age three. Moving to Los Angeles, she released singles, an album, a Billboard-charting dance track, an award-winning video, and won the Song of the Year Grand Prize for the John Lennon Songwriting Contest. In the islands, Brittni was expanding the parameters of her instrument as a ukulele stylist. Honored with multiple Na Hoku Hanohano Awards, she recorded a series of ambitious albums and performed with artists including Carlos Santana, Tom Scott, and Tommy Emmanuel. With BLVCKBOW, she adds a blistering lead guitar to the mix plus keyboards, bass, and drums.

BLVCKBOW is a name that alludes to the Hawaiian legend of Kumulipo, the darkness that existed before creation. “Color is the language of the universe,” says Jasmine. “Blackness contains all the colors,” Brittni remembers when the two would often meet at shows or the market back on the island. “There’s was always this connection but it wasn’t the right time,” she avows. “Now we know why: This is the right time.
