About

NGUVU: a Swahili term that means Power, Force, and Energy. This is also the perfect name for this Northern Groove-heavy Jazz Fusion, Funk, Soul, and Hip-Hop group. NGUVU is a genre-blurring collective that defies conventional norms. Birthed straight out of the mind of visionary drummer, composer, and MC, Jamal Lewis-Service, NGUVU is a force that was once a hidden gem in the contemporary music scene. Built upon a combination of Jazz Fusion, Funk, Soul, and Hip-Hop, with a hint of Rock, NGUVU’s style has small shades of The Roots, VulfPeck, Nubian Twist, Funky Knuckles, Brand New Heavies, Jamiroquai, yet it still maintains a sound and Identity that is uniquely theirs.
