About
Equal parts nostalgic throwback and futuristic daydreaming, Tropic is what happens when electronic producer & DJ, Phase, and Queer, Filipino R&B singer/songwriter Jo-B Sebastian join forces. Born from a mutual respect for each other’s inspirations and musical work, the Brooklyn-based duo blends Phuse’s slick, luscious production, and beats, with Jo-B’s velvety vocals, heartfelt lyrics, and catchy melodies.
Fast becoming an unstoppable force in 2023, their ‘Wildest Dreams’ EP has amassed more than 2 million streams and counting since its release. Their recent single, Control, was selected by Kitsuné’s Pat Lok for his House of Jade mix for 88Rising. Placing Tropic amongst artists like Tokimonsta & Robotaki, the mix highlights the best of Asia’s up-and-comers. At the close of 2021 the Philippines’ biggest music channel, MYX, invited Tropic to perform for their MYX TRAKS Live performance series, introducing Tropic to the channel’s 1.4 million subscribers.
