One more playing SXSanJose. Signed to Warner Records. This article says:
Before Melbourne-based R&B artist Kobe Hamilton-Reeves became Forest Claudette, they went through a number of different personas. The son of two classically trained, professional musicians, they grew up with music all around them and always knew it was their calling. But who they wanted to be in that space wasn’t as easy to identify.
The Claudette moniker's inspiration:
Claudette Colvin, a 15-year-old Black woman who, in racially segregated Alabama in 1955, refused to give up her seat on the bus to a white woman. Nine months before Rosa Parks, Colvin was convicted of resisting arrest, and put in jail as an adult for her actions.
"Creaming Soda" was their first single. Smooth R&B sound.
"Violence" is worth a listen.
This was probably my favorite.
