| Hailing from Cape Town, South Africa, musical soulmates Joshua “3FACE” Eagles and Cedrik “CEE” Aberle bring a unique, genre-bending approach to their self-described intergalactic sound that’s at once captivating and illuminating instrumentally and vocally. In an increasingly global society, the pair’s mission is to elevate consciousness while simultaneously shining a light on the homeland that continues to shape and mold their creativity. “We like to be as spacey as possible, to lean on the psychedelic,” says 3FACE. “It’s about feeling like you’re floating in space while listening to music that feels good.” Adds CEE, “It’s a sci-fi type of sensation. When people listen to our music, we want them to feel like they’re getting stories from another world – but that are still real and relatable.” The pair’s natural chemistry was kindled in high school over their mutual love of rap as well as classic R&B and pop from the 1980s. “When we met each other, our creative skills immediately fused,” says CEE. “You can hear it in the vocals. 3FACE has a higher-pitched tone and mine are more melodramatic. It makes the songs very versatile and gives us a lot more ability to tell interesting stories.” |

| The vocal contrast – coupled with their ethereal yet melodic sound has propelled the duo’s local popularity. Now they’re setting their sights on growing a global fan base. “We’ve just been learning from each other; building each other up in terms of writing and production,” says 3FACE. “We’ve elevated ourselves and got really comfortable with our sound to create a new type of hip-hop fusion that we’re hooked on.” 3FACE & CEE are currently in the studio writing and recording songs for a new album. The duo has been collaborating with award-winning producers D’Mile (H.E.R., Bruno Mars and Silk Sonic, Beyonce, Justin Bieber, Justin Timberlake, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Lucky Daye and others), Larrance “Rance” Dopson, from the legendary 1500 or Nothin’ (Bruno Mars, Jay-Z, Snoop Dagg and Saweetie) and J.R. Rotem (Jason Derulo, Gwen Stefani, 50 Cent, Rihanna, Paris Hilton, Rick Ross, Britney Spears, Leona Lewis, Sean Kingston and others). As for what music fans can expect, 3FACE notes, “Our idea is to give people a three-minute portal to a different world that they could live in.” |
