About Glaive:
From his beginnings in Hendersonville, North Carolina (population 15k), to opening for The Kid LAROI on The First Time tour last year, glaive has become a name synonymous with a scene that redefines pop, not by distancing itself from tradition but by forging a new, innovative style. His previous works, including cypress grove, all dogs go to heaven, and then i’ll be happy, have all cemented him as a standout artist, lauded by the likes of The New York Times, Vulture, GQ and The FADER.
His 2nd studio album released in late 2024, May It Never Falter, was hailed as a genre-defying body of work that marked the beginning of an independent chapter in his artistry. Working closely with a tight-knit team of collaborators including John Cunningham (XXXTENTACION, Kanye West), Ralph Castelli (Dora Jar, The Neighbourhood), and Jeff Hazin (Kali Uchis, renforshort) the album served as a coming-of-age narrative set against the backdrop of adolescence and self-discovery. May It Never Falter was recorded in the remote landscapes of Iceland and Wales, continuing the Sigur Rós-inspired approach to isolated, immersive recording environments that began with his debut album i care so much i don’t care at all (2023). The album was listed as one of the best of 2024 by Vogue Magazine and was supported by a North American and European tour in spring of 2025.
About DOMi & JD BECK:
Nothing about it made sense. With their screaming virtuosity, utterly eerie mindmeld, and shrugging irreverence toward their own astonishing gifts, DOMi & JD BECK seemed beamed in from another dimension, and our familiar existence contorted itself to their presence. The year that they more or less arrived, they bowled over buttoned-up jazz fans with a cover of a Coltrane classic that they renamed “Giant Nuts,” they wowed blunt-puffing hip-hop heads with a dizzying 4 minutes and 20 seconds of live medley-ed Madvillain songs, and they rearranged the rules of pop by jamming with Ariana Grande and Thundercat on a pandemic-era livestream — Domi on keys, head bobbing to the beat while using all four limbs to make a band’s worth of sound, and JD on drums, looking like he’s having the chillest time of his life at roughly 1,000,000 BPM. And that was before they earned two GRAMMY noms including Best New Artist for a debut album (2022’s NOT TiGHT) that featured Herbie Hancock next to Mac DeMarco next to Busta Rhymes, released by the iconic Blue Note Records in partnership with Anderson .Paak’s friskier APESHIT, Inc. label. As their unclassifiable sound then whisked them to stages the world over, the duo were touted as Gen Z ambassadors between eras, genres, and energies… And then — poof! — they vanished, social accounts frozen in time, like the interplanetary visitors many suspected them to be all along.
So, you might reasonably ask, what happened to DOMi & JD BECK?

Nothing about it made sense. With their screaming virtuosity, utterly eerie mindmeld, and shrugging irreverence toward their own astonishing gifts, DOMi & JD BECK seemed beamed in from another dimension, and our familiar existence contorted itself to their presence. The year that they more or less arrived, they bowled over buttoned-up jazz fans with a cover of a Coltrane classic that they renamed “Giant Nuts,” they wowed blunt-puffing hip-hop heads with a dizzying 4 minutes and 20 seconds of live medley-ed Madvillain songs, and they rearranged the rules of pop by jamming with Ariana Grande and Thundercat on a pandemic-era livestream — Domi on keys, head bobbing to the beat while using all four limbs to make a band’s worth of sound, and JD on drums, looking like he’s having the chillest time of his life at roughly 1,000,000 BPM. And that was before they earned two GRAMMY noms including Best New Artist for a debut album (2022’s NOT TiGHT) that featured Herbie Hancock next to Mac DeMarco next to Busta Rhymes, released by the iconic Blue Note Records in partnership with Anderson .Paak’s friskier APESHIT, Inc. label. As their unclassifiable sound then whisked them to stages the world over, the duo were touted as Gen Z ambassadors between eras, genres, and energies… And then — poof! — they vanished, social accounts frozen in time, like the interplanetary visitors many suspected them to be all along.
So, you might reasonably ask, what happened to DOMi & JD BECK?
