The duo first met in 2017 when Anderson .Paak was opening for Bruno Mars on their European 24K Magic Tour. A couple of months later they went into the studio and started working around with ideas and begun recording songs that would later become the ‘Silk Sonic’ project.
The general public however had to wait until 2021 to find out about their collaboration. In February this year Bruno and .Paak released a statement on their social media, stating that “Silk Sonic locked in and made an album”.
In a press release, they mentioned that the band was named by the legendary bass player Bootsy Collins after listening to their yet unreleased debut album.
