Artist description Listen. Somewhere beyond the skyline, floating in the outer galaxies of the Midwest (Ann Arbor MI, specifically), reside the cosmic vibes of Cloud Nine Music. The sextet concocts a sonic stew of instrumentally driven hip-hop, live electronic, 70s-era funk, jazz, and vintage Motown soul. While they use these stylistic touchstones liberally, they have nevertheless managed to produce a sound that is uniquely their own. The reason for this is simple: Cloud Nine Music’s sound comes from the heart. It is the organic quality of the rhythm, the smoothness of the grooves and the formidable vocal talents of singer/MC Jamie Register, all of which work together to produce an amalgam of funked up grooves that is neither derivative or contrived— a true rarity indeed. If anything is for certain Cloud Nine Music's high energy, neck breaking live performances will make you dance. They promise.
