OBLI

Hailing from Newark, Ohio and now residing in LA, Chris Null aka obli is a musician in the truest sense of the word. Having been in bands from a young age, he moved to Los Angeles to join a group called Rooms, later meeting Sonny Moore who introduced obli to electronic music; notably the likes of Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Autechre. Working with Sonny alongside good friend Sean, the guys toured as Sonny and the Blood Monkeys before the pair began experimenting with making music.

Moore of course went on to become Skrillex, and obli played bass in the female-fronted rock band Dead Sara for seven years – signing major label deals and touring extensively. Growing ever more inspired by artists like Caribou, Bonobo, Shlohmo and Jamie xx, in 2017 he left the band and began to work on his own music. Over the last few years he has developed his own sound whilst contining to tour with prominent acts such as Juliette Lewis, Kacy Hill and Julia Michaels. obli is set to release his debut Change EP on December 11th.
