BLAKTAI, comprised of Blak Emoji & Whitney Tai, met in New York City in the spring of 2017, realizing the potential of their musical collaborations. Their plan was to see how much music they could compose and record within the span of a month. Through this experiment, their hypnotic, downtempo sound was born. Impose Magazine calls their 2018 debut single 'Skin' "enveloping", "enticing"; that the duo's "dynamic creates harmony- both musical and human." After years of contributing to each other's solo projects, Tai and Emoji reunited in 2023 via live shows at Rockwood Music Hall in NYC and sold out shows at LA's Hotel Cafe. Alan Sparhawk of Low writes to his fans that BLAKTAI’s new version of his song “All Night“ soars to new heights and horizons.” BLAKTAI flirts with trip-hop, electro-funk, indie rock, pop and jazz. The duo has been dubbed the “Goth Eurythmics.”
