BASI is an independent r&b / soul / poetry artist that draws most of his inspiration from his culture-rich hometown, Sacramento. With a modern and urban take on his favorite "oldies", his smooth and soulful vocals are complimented by the calming strings of the guitar or the mellow vibes of the keys. His sound is influenced by the likes of various artists such as Frank Sinatra, John Legend, Jamie Cullum, Frank Ocean, and D'Angelo.
