Think of One

Think Of One is a Belgian multi-award-winning trio from Antwerp consisting of David Bovée (guitar, vocals), Tomas De Smet (bass) and Roel Poriau (drums, keyboards) with vocals . Together they create colourful music infused with musical genres from different parts of the world like jazz, latin, funk and many more, but at times people also called it Stonersamba, Shabidub, experimental Spacejazz, Sambareggae, Robotic Maracatu or Psychedelic Deathcore. Go figure!

The band originated in Antwerp, a multicultural hub with important Morroccan, Turkish, African etc communiites. Infectious grooves blasting from carspeakers in the streets already fascinated them from early on. Throughout their career they formed strong bonds, living together in one big house and even in a trailercamp in the Antwerp underground scene. They got to travel the world, met and collaborated with great musicians from whom they learned about many musical genres. One of their projects was 'Marrakech Emballages Ensemble' which is a collaboration with Moroccan musicians and singers, while their Tráfico album featured collaborations with Brazilian musicians and voices. They even did a live project with Inuit Nunavik Throat Singers. Their output that blended musical styles secured them a BBC Award in 2004 for ‘Best Cross-Cultural Collaboration’.
