Artist Biography

Vulfpeck Los Angeles-based band that focuses on instrumentals inspired by classic R&B. The founding members attended the University of Michigan School of Music in Ann Arbor and started the band in 2011. Vulfpeck released their debut EP Mit Peck the same year and continued releasing EPs until 2014 when they created Sleepify. The Sleepify set featured tracks “Z,” “Zzzzz,” and the major finale “Zzzzzzzzzz” which were part of the ten half-minute tracks that consisted of nothing but silence. Streaming of Sleepify funded an admission-free U.S. tour before it was removed from the streaming service. In 2015, Vulfpeck released their debut album Thrill of the Arts which hit the Top 20 of the Billboard R&B Albums Chart and got them a performance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert. Their next album The Beautiful Game came in 2016 and also made the Billboard Charts, hitting number six on the R&B Albums Chart. The band continued to release successful albums featuring collaborations with amazing talent, including Bootsy Collins and Cory Wong.
