KronSax (+ Detour)
KronSax is one of the most diverse, unique, and talented musicians that exists in the midwest today. By combining the styles of jazz, reggae, and hip-hop, KronSax delivers an energetic flow over hard-hitting beats while topping it off with soulful saxophone solos - guaranteed to make anyone within earshot to get down and groovy. When combined with friend, collaborator, and St. Louis emcee Emkay, the duo forms Detour. Emkay fills in the rhythm with guitar and piano while singing and rapping alongside KronSax. Whether he’s performing as Kronsax or Detour, the music continues to stand up for the generation of today while inspiring hope for the generation of tomorrow.
KronSax’s wide palette of musical abilities started with the saxophone at the young age of 10. Only a few years later, Kron was singing in his school’s choir. Kronsax continued choir and sax throughout high school and into college. It was in college where KronSax really combined his personal interests together to create the flowing and horn-blowing combo that he’s known for today. KronSax now performs regularly either as a solo act, Detour, or even with Blake Gardner & The Farmers. Furthermore, KronSax has shared the stage with various reggae acts and blues bands as well as Austin Kolb Band.
Currently, KronSax is working on both a studio album (produced by HeezOnFire at North Village Recording) with his full band. In an effort to let his fans stay connected and hear his music before future projects drop, Kron has released a slew of singles on the official KronSax Soundcloud page.
