Complex named them in their ‘Ones to Watch for 2020.’ After announcing their first 23 city US headline tour, COVID hit and all plans were abandoned. They released their debut EP, Born Deadly, and landed various sync deals with network shows Trickster and Resident Alien, and feature films Monkey Beach and Inconvenient Indian. Their 2019 single, Boujee Natives, achieved over 1.5 million streams and became their first music video to reach over 2 million views.
As COVID restrictions began to ease in 2021, SNRK were back in studio, creating their most personal project to date, LIFE AFTER, released in October 2021. The release landed them on the covers of Exclaim Magazine, Range Magazine and The Georgia Straight. Their hit single, Uncle Rico, debuted on BET Jams and went into rotation on MTV. After a year and half SNRK were back on the road for leg 1 of their Life After Tour with 13 shows in the US, and have announced a second leg for 2022 with another 20+ dates in Canada and the US.
Picking back up where they left off in 2020, SNRK are set for 2022 to be their breakout year.

Axiom Tha Wyze
“I want people to have a “religious” experience at my shows,” says Idaho born artist Axiom Tha Wyze. What’s immediately noticeable about Axiom’s style and approach to the art is he can rap over almost anything and his growth as an artist reflects that. With natural and genuine love for wordplay, creative writing and the pathos of it all, Axiom channels it directly back into the music providing listeners and showgoers with a unique and soul touching experience. Axiom can provide energetic sounds that will get you out of your seat, but also give us something more introspective causing us to look inward. With an extensive discography under his belt, time spent on stage and on the road, and a plethora of collaborations to call upon, Axiom takes pride in his craft and is just getting started…don’t get left behind.
