Obscure Kids

Obscure Kids, the dynamic duo of Dae and Jay, have made waves in the music scene with their eclectic sound and heartfelt lyrics. But what truly sets them apart is their rich history and diverse influences, which they now channel into their latest project.

Dae's musical journey began with the alias Un$poken, a name under which they honed their skills as a writer and performer. From an early age, Dae’s passion for music and poetry led to a flourishing career with professional releases and a notable music video for "Trash." Meanwhile, Jay’s path started with event planning and evolved through various music projects. His debut as PIZOOKI saw him amass over 100,000 streams, and post-pandemic, his new solo venture, hey it’s jay, continued to thrive with an EP and a music video for "Help."

The inception of Obscure Kids was a serendipitous meeting of kindred spirits. Bonded by their shared experiences of feeling out of place, Dae and Jay found that their collaborative energy produced music effortlessly, culminating in an entire album. This synergy is reflected in their latest single, “Broke,” which addresses financial struggles and the pursuit of happiness with a blend of humor and realism.

Their diversity in musical genres—ranging from Pop and HipHop to Alt Rock and beyond—embodies their mission to cater to a broad audience. This inclusive approach is mirrored in their backgrounds: Dae’s Native American heritage and LGBTQ+ identity, alongside Jay’s mixed racial background, enrich their music and message.

Looking ahead, Obscure Kids aim to make significant strides with their upcoming releases, dream of achieving top spots across genres, and aspire to create a lasting impact with charitable endeavors. Their ultimate goal is a global tour that resonates with fans and supports meaningful causes, making their musical journey one to watch.
