About the Band
After only 3 jam sessions together in the summer of 2020 it was hard to deny the natural musicality that V, K$tuss, and Duo Greene had. So over a Whatsapp call they decided to turn the chaos of the pandemic's unknown into a “plandemic”. The result- a blend of rock, jazz and soul to create the alternative R&B sound you'll hear in their music.
Meet the members of the band:
Duo Greene
Duo Greene is the lead singer and songwriter of Black Lotus Band. She's
been
performing and writing for many years (she has declined to tell the number of years because
she
wants to keep some sense of mystery.) During her beginner music years she did music theater
in
her community and high school. Her musical choices are influenced by the gospel, soul and
r&b
that was played in her home by her parents and older sister.
Bet you didn't know: DUO is an acronym for her real name.
K$tuss

cousin's
Dominican folkloric band Palo Monte. His love for soul and latin jazz influences the bass
lines
that he makes today.
