Biography:
The Pali Gap are from South London, currently working with producer Shuta Shinoda (Hot Chip, Vampire Weekend, Ghost Poet and Spiritualized).
Their music can be described as pop, dance, indie, however with the added ability to toggle between genres The Pali Gap like to remain ‘genre-less’ and cite Gotye as one of their main influences, with the likes of LCD Soundsystem, Nirvana and Oasis but to name a few artists who inspire them.
Born in Clapham (South London), lead singer Sanj Pali is of half-Guyanese and half-Mauritian descent.
