CRSB:
CRSB is a musical duo based out of San Francisco Bay Area who create their own brand of Island Soul-infused Pop. Consisting of members Chris Ramos and Sonny B., CRSB combines honest and memorable songwriting with a heart right out of the islands.
The group garnered mass attention from the public after they began to release live home videos performing their original compositions. Posted from personal YouTube accounts of Ramos, the collection of videos has amassed over three and a half million plays. The group self-released the LP “Eclectivity” in 2009 in response to the demand of their rapidly expanding fan base.
CRSB has maintained a consistent performance schedule while preparing material for two upcoming releases. The releases promise to bring both prominent sides of the group to their audience; their acoustic driven, ukulele-based songwriting and their polished, Island Pop sound.
