Infinity Song Tickets

Infinity Song’s movie-script journey from dad’s gospel choir through subway busking and onto screens and stages across the world resuscitates the idea of the American Dream.

If you rode the New York subway sometime in the last ten years, or sauntered through Central Park, or hurried through Times Square’s hustle and bustle, there’s a good chance you’ve heard the pristine four-part harmonies and delightfully well-ordered arrangements of Infinity Song sailing over the hubbub. Abraham, Angel, Israel, and Momo Boyd have an origin story that reads like a feel-good movie script: from years of diligent, whatever-the-weather busking and a church choir upbringing to talk shows and touring the world’s storied venues. It’s the kind of feat that restores faith in the American Dream or simply the belief that hard work backed by genuine passion pays off. 

It all started in music-history-filled Detroit, their hometown. The four siblings are actually four of nine, and were brought up on their dad’s record collection: Marvin Gaye, Ella Fitzgerald, The Isley Brothers, any and all gospel. As well as the band’s tastemaker and manager, John Boyd – dad – helmed the community choir that his kids cut their teeth in, all while he balanced other day jobs and passed down a robust work ethic. 

Abraham, Angel, and their other sister Victory were the original members of Infinity Song, but after an early-days shuffle-up, younger siblings Israel and Momo took Victory’s place in 2022 and she went solo. Each of the four contributes their own tastes and approaches to composition, and they tend to write separately, meaning the band has already built up an exciting, varied back catalogue. They take you on a journey from arresting and cinematic, like Momo’s head-turning ‘American Love Song’, all the way to newest single ‘London Foxes’, which is Israel’s skulking, after-dark, four-to-the-floor contribution. ‘Metamorphosis’ is quiet and sweet until it expands into their most indie rock offering with choppy guitars, and Angel’s ‘Slow Burn’ is lush and low. Melding it all together is a throughline of thoughtful, intentional composition and warm harmonies – it always sounds like Infinity Song, but there are numerous flavours available. 

Everything spiralled once the Boyds relocated from Detroit to New York and mapped their sound onto the latter’s streets. After clips of their busking were plastered over social media, they made an appearance on talk show The View, then Jay-Z’s Roc Nation snapped them up for a record deal. They backed Kanye West on Jesus Is King, sold out shows at home, then sold out shows away from home. A few years in, they’re already absorbing comparisons to legends like The Mamas & The Papas and Fleetwood Mac, primed to join the greats.

Underneath the movie moments and smiles is the harrowing legacy of Infinity Song’s ancestors, something they are cognisant of. “We come from a lineage of African slaves. That’s our background,” Abraham has said(Opens in new tab). “We are the embodiment of African-Americans. And we represent to the world… what it looks like to be African American.” With songs like ‘I <3 My Haters’, the band set an example of greeting hate with joy and love, as they shimmy around their NYC haunts in I <3 NY–style shirts emblazoned with the song’s defiant yet goofy title. But while Infinity Song’s music videos are fun and creative, the best way to experience them is, of course, live. Performing is where they come from. “Online is online, it’s not tangible,” Israel recently said(Opens in new tab). “But in person, that’s real. That’s people really singing those words.” That’s what lasts forever – for Infinity Song, and beyond.
