Bonobo

About

Bonobo is the project of British musician, producer and DJ Simon Green, who grew up in Hampshire and is now based in Los Angeles. His sound moves between downtempo, jazz and electronic music, with a warm, organic quality that works equally well on the dancefloor and at home. Albums including Black Sands (2010) and Migration (2017) built him a large international following; both Migration and Fragments (2022) reached the UK top five. He has received multiple Grammy and BRIT nominations and performed at venues ranging from Coachella and Glastonbury to a five-night residency at the Royal Albert Hall.
