Wckd nation fuses the world of jazz and pop, creating a modern neo-soul. Toned-down vocals stay true to the patterns of modern r'n'b, supported by instrumentals that were inspired not only by jazz and pop, but also by hip hop and funk.
Wckd Nation are a group of artists who are connected in one way or another to the Klagenfurt Carinthian State Conservatory. In autumn 2018, the band released two singles, Time and Troubles, both of which were well received by Slovenian radio stations and music lovers and experts alike. End of October 2018, the band appeared live on Radio Slovenia’s Programme One, and was featured in numerous other radio shows and web media.
When the band first got together, their name caused quite a bit of trouble with a Los Angeles-based gang, as Wckd Nation is the name of a gang that controls part of this Californian metropolis. After the initial threats, the band managed to convince the founder of the gang that they mean no ill will and that all they wish to do is play their music.
