PREMIERE | The Gillum Bros Release Spellbinding ‘Sticky Note’
Meet The Gillum Bros, Keith and Ryan, who premiere the music video for “Sticky Note” on Medium. Keith provides the vocals, while Ryan plays piano.
Originally from Detroit, the brothers spent much of their time on a horse farm in Upstate New York. In 2012, while attending different colleges, they began writing songs, collaborating via email. After graduation, they covered a lot of ground, living in Schenectady, NYC, Tampa, Richmond, Washington D.C., and Phoenix. Right now, they’re in Arcadia, California.
While in Florida, Ryan played drums with a country band, got into Latin and African rhythms, and worked on new material with Keith. With the help of Clint Hall, the brothers laid down tracks in a studio, which stimulated them to constantly improve their craft.
Back in Detroit, they began playing live in coffee shops, and landed a resident gig at Coffee and Blank, along with a monthly performance in Royal Oak. Keith enhanced his chops on the piano and, like Barry Gibb, toyed with his falsetto. At the beginning of 2019, they dropped their debut album, Mooshie Music, which gathered momentum and airplay on college radio.
At the present time, the brothers are working with Parisian mixer Art Bleek on another album, Supervolcano, slated for release in the near future…
