Biography

City of the Sun, the innovative instrumental-rock trio from New York, have been pushing boundaries since 2011 with their eclectic blend of indie rock, American folk, flamenco, and blues influences. The band's unique sound, likened to a fusion of Rodrigo y Gabriela and Explosions in the Sky, has gained them recognition through performances at TED Talks, Sofar Sounds sessions, and captivating live videos from around the world. Their rise to prominence in the post-rock scene includes tours with notable acts like Peter Bjorn & John, G.Love, and Thievery Corporation, as well as appearances at major music festivals and scoring the documentary soundtrack for "The C Word."

In 2016, City of the Sun achieved chart success with their live album 'to the sun and all the cities in between,' reaching #12 on the Billboard Jazz Albums chart. The lead track "Everything" made waves on Spotify, climbing to #2 on the US Viral 50 chart and #5 on the Global Viral Chart, accumulating over 16 million streams. Following a European tour in 2017, the band released the UNTITLED EP, featuring the standout track "Perfect Instance" which quickly amassed over four million streams on Spotify within its first month.

Audience adjacency to leading lifestyle names makes streetwear, music platforms, and lifestyle products the logical focus. This is brand work that meets fans where they already are.

Artist Affinity estimates how strongly an artist's audience overlaps with interest in specific brands, products, and categories. It is derived from aggregated social and behavioral signals—who fans follow, save, click, and engage with—normalized across platforms. Higher affinity suggests better partnership fit and higher likelihood that fans will respond positively to branded content or offers. Use it to shortlist natural brand partners and product concepts that feel authentic to the audience. Combine affinity with Connection Strength (ER) and reach to balance fit with impact. Treat affinity as directional—validate with creative tests and small pilots before scaling.

ER = (likes + comments + shares) ÷ audience per post ≥ 3.0% = Very Strong 2.0–2.99% = Strong 1.0–1.99% = Moderate < 1.0% = Low

How to read it: Pair ER with reach (views/followers) to gauge intensity and scale.
