The group consists of Theon Cross (tubist), Artie Zaitz (guitarist), Binker Golding (saxophonist) and Nathaniel Cross (trombonist).
Under his own label, Exodus Records, Boyd made his solo debut with the extended play Absolute Zero in 2017, and followed it up with Displaced Diaspora in 2018. Boyd has additionally collaborated with musicians such as Beyoncé, Little Simz, Lonnie Liston Smith, Zara McFarlane, Obongjayar, Ed Motta, Sons of Kemet, Soweto Kinch, Floating Points, Four Tet and Theon Cross.
Early life[]

Artistry and reception[]
Musical style[]
Boyd is popularly known for blending multiple genres into jazz to create various new sub-genres.[13][14][15] He has been noted to perform and write in the styles of nu-jazz,[16] and fusion,[15] additionally incorporating elements of grime,[17][18] electronica,[19][20] highlife and broken beat.[21] Boyd has described his own music as "an extension of black music, the diaspora" which draws influence from afrobeats, soca, reggae, drum and bass and jungle music.[15]
Critical reception[]
Boyd is known as a prominent figure within the modern London jazz scene.[22][23][20] He has been described by The Guardian as "a progenitor of the current London jazz scene",[24] and "a poster boy of the London jazz revival."[25]
Influences[]
Boyd has cited Miles Davis (Kind of Blue) and Dizzee Rascal (Boy in Da Corner) as major influences.[9] Boyd is closely associated with jazz personality and DJ Gilles Peterson, whom he cites as an influence in learning how to "use jazz in club culture".[18]
