About TFAK

A Bronx music movement since 2011.

Music. Branding. Artist development & management. We started a music brand because we love music — and the Bronx deserves a loud one.

Our story

From a DIY movement to a lasting Bronx collective.

The Fox & King began in the Bronx in 2011 as a DIY movement — a way to bring music and people together under one banner. After its first show in 2012, TFAK grew from local gigs into a booking agency and a lasting collective, expanding across New York City while staying rooted in the borough.

Today it books the artists it believes in, develops lasting brands around music, produces platform media like the B-Sides docu-series and Nite Sessions, and provides artist development for its community. The mission hasn't changed: change how the music industry works by leaning into DIY, undiscovered music, and brands that lift the independent scene of today.
