Infinity Song is a Soft Rock band based in New York City comprised of 4 siblings, Abraham, Angel, Israel, and Momo Boyd. With a blend of tight vocal harmonies, dreamy lyricism and sublime guitar riffs, the band creates a transcendent experience for the audience on every stage and in their recorded music.
Homeschooled academically and musically, along with their 5 other brothers and sisters, by parents who founded the Boys & Girls Choirs of Detroit, the siblings have performed in front of audiences since Pre-K. They were raised on classical, gospel and jazz, like Pat Methany, Marvin Gaye, The Winans Family and many others. Infinity Song’s journey was a labored yet adventurous climb. In 2006, the Boyd patriarch, John Boyd, relocated the entire family from Detroit to New York and they began performing publicly all around the city. Singing at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in the morning, on 5th Avenue in the afternoon and Times Square at night, eventually Central Park’s Bethesda Fountain became a permanent stage for the next 12 years of their lives. After several years of developing a following and turning casual park visitors into loyal fans, the group was introduced to JAY Z.
In 2016, the band was signed to Roc Nation by JAY Z, who advised them to not conform to the label’s artistic culture, but rather allow Roc Nation’s artistic culture to catch up to them. 4 years later in 2020, the siblings made a giant splash with their debut album “Mad Love” and several viral videos that amassed millions of views across all social media sites, garnering attention and support from some of Hollywood’s biggest names. Now again in 2023 - 2024 Infinity Song is reeling from the reception of their newest viral singles, Haters Anthem & Slow Burn, from their latest EP METAMORPHOSIS. Their catchy singles are making waves all around the world. Even leading many listeners to compare the band to legendary 70s groups such as Fifth Dimension, The Mamas and The Papas, and ABBA. With this amount of excitement surrounding their project, Infinity Song is ready to continue to solidify their place in the space where great music is being created in today’s culture.

Charming audiences for over 30 years, he has walked the stages throughout the country delivering a sound somewhere between Muscle Shoals and mid-sixties electric Blues.

Ray Tully and Tony Harwood form a dynamic rhythm section that is the backbone of the act. Performing together for over 34 years, this tight unit has graced various line-ups such as The Sensational Rocket 88’s, The Redliners, The Detonators and Straight 8’s to name just a few.

This important inclusion signalled a shift in the band’s sound and an extension of its broad appeal.

In 2013, Rod Paine & The Fulltime Lovers won the prestigious MBAS Blues Performer of the Year Award.
