The Future never sounds the same.
It is with a heavy heart and a dismal sensation of relief that we announce the departure of two key members in the INBORN! universe after 9 years of ectasy, bliss and trauma. Mostly for personal and artististic differences, Smokey and Jeffrey decided to part ways and focus on other non band-related projects. We’re extremely grateful for the precious moments we shared with these highly talented and diverse individuals, but felt that this is the only reasonable option for all of us in order to grow and take things to the next level. Everything happens for a reason, especially when you feel entangled in the tidal waves of tomorrow. After our recording session in Venice Beach we stated in an official communiqué that ‘everything we ever associated with this band has been redefined in a radical fashion, leading us to a precise understanding of what the collective known as INBORN! should stand for.’ In no way, could we have foreseen how accurate these words would prove themselves to be. The last months have shown us that our ‘band’ started leading a life on its own. It’s not about the way we dress, the sounds we produce on stage or the persons we intimately love in the heart of the night. The only thing that matters is the connection we establish with ourselves and the audience. In this specific moment, we all turn into this collective identity that is INBORN! - communicating, sharing and broadcasting electricity on a higher level. There have been moments of unfiltered inspiration on stage, in rehearsals, dream states and conversations that made us realize the beauty of following music instead of leading it. We’re currently working on a new model that will blow your minds and redefine everything our sound stands for. For the record, Smokey is heading to Berlin to pursue a promising acting career while performing his idiosyncratic dance moves in electronic-duo ‘Lost Weekend’ while Jeffrey moved to Bxl in order to complete his law cycle. We wish them all the best and hope they’ll find happiness in everything they might achieve in the future. Love always.
