In less than a year, the Compton-born artist Channel Tres has found fans in everyone from Elton John to Anderson Paak to Disclosure. His debut single "Controller" reimagined classic Detroit house with the surly attitude of West Coast rap, and introduced the world to Channel's effortlessly deep baritone. Pitchfork, NPR, Gorilla vs. Bear, BBC Radio 1, Spotify, Apple, Beats1, and KCRW were early champions, along with Australia's esteemed Triple J, who put "Controller" in A-list radio rotation.

Fitting for a genre-bender like Channel, this spring Tres is supporting both electro-pop superstar Robyn and the rapper Vince Staples on their tours throughout North America – including dates at Madison Square Garden and Hollywood Palladium. He's celebrating the tours with a new track called "Brilliant Nigga". It's an ode to a new kind of black exceptionalism, with shades of deep house, West Coast rap, 60s Blue Note, and dub mixing techniques. "Brilliant Nigga" is out March 8 on Godmode, the LA-based tastemakers who also brought the world Yaeji and Shamir.
