Black Pumas Bio
Black Pumas is an American R&B and psychedelic soul band led by singer Eric Burton and guitarist & producer, Adrian Quesada. Both native to Austin, Texas, Burton and Quesada created Black Pumas in 2017. Quesada was a member of Grupo Fantasma and through a mutual friend, was introduced to Burton, who had been busking around Los Angeles. The duo released their debut album, ‘Black Pumas’ in 2019 and in the same year, went on to perform at South by Southwest. Their debut album received high praise “possessing a voice that can slide into slipstream with Ease, Burton leads an elegant elasticity to Quesada’s tightly layered productions” as said by Pitchfork. By the end of 2019, the duo received a Grammy Nomination for Best New Artist. Black Pumas performed the single of their album, ‘Colors’ for Jimmy Kimmel Live, CBS This Morning, Austin City Limits and The Ellen DeGeneres Show. ‘Colors’ has also reached 11 million plays on Spotify.
