UpDharmaDown

Up Dharma DownThe band got the name from the word Dharma, meaning the laws of life. In whatever case, it is a law that connects everything in existence no matter how diverse they are. This is how the band explains their music, having rather dissimilar musical influences that results into a dynamic sound that still meets halfway as it appeals to a certain group of listeners almost everywhere.

The four combine their love for Rock, Neo-soul, Acid Jazz and Electronic music ranging from Jill Scott, Robert Plant, Janis Joplin, Elton John, Stevie Wonder, The Doors, The Cure, Incognito, Spyro Gyra, Zero 7 , Photek, Portishead and even John Williams to name only a few of the band's list of musical heroes and geniuses.

Being members of different groups for some time they say, their preferences have been very much compromised since only having an either-or-approach on bands would be acceptable to a lot of people. When they have finally decided on taking separate ways from their now-defunct groups, they've made a subconscious merge of a tangled-up, smacked-down groove not anyone has been able to give a name yet since Fusion as a collective genre came out.
