The seeds of Silk Sonic were planted in 2017 when Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars toured together on the European leg of his 24K Magic World Tour. One late-night jam session on the road unlocked immediate chemistry. Just before the world slipped into quarantine, Bruno called Anderson: Remember that idea we had back in 2017? Lets do it. One studio session grew into to a months-long collaboration, culminating the setlist of doom. Legendary Bootsy Collins christened Silk Sonic and came in as the special guest host for An Evening With Silk Sonic, their debut album.
