“Hi y’all, we a blues band!” And a profound silence fell over the room. Lead singer Sugaray of Aunt Kizzy’z Boyz said, “I’m gonna say that again ‘cause the room always gets real quiet - we a blues band!” But within one minute of launching into their set, the entire audience was up and dancing, and AKB went on to crush the youthful competition with charisma, musicianship and fantastic tunes. Winning the LAMN Jam Grand Slam Urban Artist of the Year title by a landslide, AKB beat out hundreds of competitors and got these remarks from top-tier talent judges:

“I’m an Aunt Kizzy’z Girl now!” “You guys are on your way to something big.” “Unbelievable! I was blown away from beginning to end. I could listen to you play for hours!” “You should be on stage with Taj Mahal at the Long Beach Blues Festival.” “Wow!” “Dope, hot and sexy! I’d love to see you guys live again.”
