Too Many Zooz is an American music group based in New York City, consisting of Leo Pellegrino, Matt "Doe" Muirhead and David "King of Sludge" Parks. The group is known for its unique blend of house, funk, and jazz, as well as its energetic live performances.
They first met while enrolled at the Manhattan School of Music. In the neighborhood busking band Drumadics, Pellegrino and Parks had collaborated on songs. After uniting in the middle of 2013, the trio began busking together in August at several subway stations in New York City in their own genre—brass house. The group's name was coined by Doe, who had been searching for a word that would describe the sound of their music.
"We just wanted to make people move," Pellegrino told The Huffington Post in 2015. "That was the whole intention from the beginning."
The group's popularity on YouTube led to an offer from French electronic music duo Justice to open for them on their North American tour in 2016. The trio also played at the Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Austin City Limits festivals that year. In January 2018, they released their first album, Subway Gawdz.
Pellegrino is from New Jersey and plays the saxophone and bass clarinet. He has performed with various artists such as Skrillex, Diplo, and Mark Ronson.
Muirhead is from California and plays the trumpet. He has toured with Beyoncé, Bruno Mars, and Ed Sheeran.
Parks is from Virginia and plays the trombone. He has toured with Alicia Keys, Taylor Swift, and Jay-Z.
The group's musical style has been described as a mix of house, funk, jazz, and EDM. Their songs often feature horns and percussion instruments. They have cited James Brown, Miles Davis, and Fela Kuti as influences.
The group's live shows are known for their high energy. Pellegrino has said that the band tries to "create an experience" for their audiences, rather than just playing music.
