PAWA UP FIRST started out as a recording project a few years back and has since then evolved into a quintet mainly comprised of piano/synth, guitar, bass, drums and percussion with occasionnal collaborators including a horn section, guest vocalists and MCs. Influenced by elements of jazz, dub, electro, hip hop, indie rock and cinematic music, PAWA UP FIRST creates a wide range of atmospheres and dynamics with its instrumental repertoire and video projections.
