Biography

Originating from Hartlepool, UK, Sneaker Pimps quickly made a name for themselves in the trip-hop genre with their debut album ‘Becoming X’ (1996), showcasing innovative sampling and a blend of organic and electronic elements. With hits like ‘Six Underground’ and ‘Spin Spin Sugar’, they achieved five UK Top 40 placements during their initial seven-year stint. Following a hiatus, founding members Chris Corner (IAMX) and Liam Howe (AMP) pursued successful solo ventures, collaborating with a range of artists from Gary Numan to Lana del Rey.

Recently reuniting, Sneaker Pimps, now split between LA and London, are gearing up for the release of their anticipated fourth album, ‘Squaring The Circle’, featuring new vocalist Simonne Jones. The double album is available now, marking their return to the music scene.

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.
