The band formed in Tokyo in February 2018. Their music is an ingenious blend of genres spanning across R&B, funk, soul, rock and hip-hop. They launched their album “LENS” in June 2021 with its lead song “Balmy Life” achieving heavy rotation on over 35 domestic FM/AM radio stations. Kroi has also performed at many music festivals across Japan including the infamous WHITE STAGE of FUJI ROCK Festival 2022. Their performance was live-streamed on YouTube and the footage became the number one trend on Twitter. Kroi is set to perform at SUMMER SONIC 2023.
As well as being talented musicians, each band member is also thriving in other diverse professions from modeling to designing and music production – all making significant contributions to the cultural scenes.
