Brothers Aaron and Lawrence Shaw, performing as Black Nile, see a very different Los Angeles. Hollywood has stolen the beautiful story of LA, created a fantasy land from a city with deep Black and Latino roots often without including those communities. For Black Nile, Los Angeles is a city of improvisation, a city of fresh ideas, a city of jazz. Born and raised in LA’s Inglewood neighborhood, the brothers came up in the city’s red hot jazz scene, rubbing shoulders with elder legends as well as next gen stars like Kamasi Washington and Thundercat. Both GRAMMY nominated artists, Aaron Shaw’s saxophone work was recently featured in collaboration with Saul Williams and Carlos Niño, he’s played with contemporary greats from Tyler, The Creator to Herbie Hancock, and gave André 3000 flute lessons. Lawrence Shaw has played bass for John Legend, Booker T. and the M.G.’s, Aminé, Nubya Garcia, and Raphael Saadiq, and is currently touring with pop star Andy Grammar.

Hometown royalty making history together. 🏁
When you look at the landscape of Los Angeles fashion, it’s rare to see a homegrown brand maintain its soul, stay rooted in the community, and continuously elevate the culture the way SUPRVSN has. They’ve been a pillar in LA for years—providing elevated apparel for the masses while holding down the real energy of the city.
Having them lace us up for our show at the Hollywood Bowl wasn’t just about putting on a fit; it was a cultural alignment of two native LA forces honoring the soil we came from. Huge thank you to the SUPRVSN family for keeping us sharp on the city’s grandest stage. Real recognize real, always.

The @_blacknile Nile — a duo composed of Inglewood brothers @les_sounds and @sheets0fsound — are about to play their biggest hometown show yet when they open for @erykahbadu at the Hollywood Bowl on Tuesday. The brothers were connected with Badu through L.A. artist Lauren Halsey. It was a fitting introduction because the convergence of visual art and music was all around the band members as they recorded their most recent album, “Indigo Garden,” inspired by a residency they did at @massmoca in Massachusetts.
“The long legacy and history of visual arts with music, they are hand in hand because in some ways they elevate each other,” Lawrence says. “The experience is elevated when you attach visuals to music and audio to visuals and being surrounded, in that environment where it’s nothing but creatives, it really brought us back, in a lot of ways, to childhood because that’s how we grew up in a lot of jazz camps and a lot of art camps.”
In an interview with The Times, the duo discussed L.A. jazz history, their latest album and the resurgence of the music genre in Los Angeles. Click the link in bio to read more.
