"Musical incarnation is important to me… it hearkens back to my early days and that spark of imagination that makes me want to discover what electronic and pop music can be."

Of the pioneering electronic outfit, Thievery Corporation, Rob Garza blends, merges, and melds together multidimensional music and a convergence of genres. Blurring the lines between "pop" familiarity and electronic esoterica, Garza explores a musical palette with newfound freedom that feels deep and open all at once, yet is undeniable in its accessibility.
