Lobbying his Jamaican mother and British father for trumpet lessons in tribute to his namesake. Rochester's rich and underappreciated creative scene nurtured his musical skills, and he won a place on a summer jazz program at the city's prestigious Eastman School of Music in his teens. A self-taught producer who has always recorded in isolation, he started self-releasing home recordings in 2018, and eventually dropped out of college when his EP Want U Back became a word-of-mouth hit. Now transplanted to the Brooklyn neighborhood of Bed Stuy, Spencer. #is a main player in a tight-knit and supportive creative community that also boasts Clairo, Snail Mail, Claud, Advisry, Binki, Cautious Clay and Triathlon amongst it's burgeoning talent. Written, recorded and produced by Spencer. #during the pandemic, Are U Down's 11 songs blend R\u0026amp;B, hip-hop, funk, indie, pop, jazz and soul to create a sound that feels both analog and digital, honoring the past whilst staying firmly in the present. Spencer. #has integrated neo-soul vocal fireworks, hip-hop flow and pop ambition into an album steeped in all the feels of a New York summer.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTracks:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.1 Byyyte \u003cbr\u003e1.2 Lonely As I Ever Was \u003cbr\u003e1.3 U Around? \u003cbr\u003e1.4 Myluv \u003cbr\u003e1.5 After the Show - Spencer.
