If you have any siblings, do you get along with them? Just alright, or well enough to work and tour the world together? For Abraham, Angel, Israel, and Momo Boyd, it’s the latter. The Detroit-born, now New York City-based music band aka Infinity Song has music running through their veins. Their Dad was a choir director, so they got into singing and performing live as very little kids. Now, several years later, they’re reaping the fruits from that hard work.
In 2024, they’ve embarked on a European tour that they define as “life-changing,” right after releasing Metamorphosis Complete, a joyous album that will brighten your day (and week). Another milestone this year was fronting the 75th anniversary campaign of GANT, a staple of American fashion. To celebrate all of these, we speak with Infinity Song about aligning their values with those of the brand, working with your siblings, and what inspires their songwriting.
Hey guys, it’s a pleasure to speak with you! To get to know you, how did growing up in a musical family shape your individual journeys?
Hello! Thank you so much for having us. Music was a way of life growing up, a language more native to us than anything. It’s at the core of who we are as a family, and as individuals. Music helps us process life and gives us a way to communicate with the world. It indelibly shapes us.
I have an older brother and our dynamics weren’t always peaceful — all siblings fight, I know. But because of that I wonder, what’s it like working closely with your siblings? Are you usually on the same page, or do you throw some fists?
We never throw fists (laughs), but no family is alway peaceful — that wouldn’t be realistic. We’re not always on the same page, but we’re always working to pursue peace. Thankfully, we succeed more than we fail. It also helps that our Dad is our manager. If it gets too challenging, he’ll usually help us mediate.
Also, how do you balance collaboration and individuality? Because you look very cohesive yet each of you is also unique.
Individuality and authenticity are important to us. Being unified doesn’t mean being uniform. For a lot of our music, the writing and production are led by one person — Haters Anthem (Momo), or Slow Burn (Angel), Lotus (Israel), or Sinking Boat (Abraham). Of course we also collaborate, for instance our song Metamorphosis was super collaborative, but the individual voice and creative vision shouldn’t be sacrificed. Everything is about balance.
From personal experiences to fiction stories, what inspires your songwriting and musical style? There are four of you, so it might be hard to find a POV that fits you all.
Our inspirations are so many. Our family is originally from Detroit, a place so rich in musical history. From gospel to jazz, Motown, and house music has its origins in Detroit as well. Then there’s our family culture that inspires us. Our Dad was a choir director and we were in all of his choirs growing up. We’d sit around the kitchen table arranging and rehearsing music. Those early years in Detroit were very formative.
When we moved to New York City, that was another kind of inspiration. It all works together like a quilt or tapestry. Soft rock or rock more broadly gives us our compass or collective POV. Within those borders, theres so much space for the individual and collective perspectives.

This year, you released Metamorphosis Complete, a twelve-track album that’s soothing, joyous, and evocative. How long have you been working on it, and what’s been the process like?
Metamorphosis Complete is the culmination of about three years of work but a whole lifetime of learning and struggle — really a multigenerational struggle, our parents before us. The idea that there’s something more to accomplish that hasn’t yet been grasped, the continual pursuit of the elusive dream. The record contextualises the journey from so many different angles. It’s a part of our story, but it’s proven to be a shared experience with so many people around the world. It’s our best and most honest work.
Another milestone this year was taking part in GANT’s 75th anniversary campaign. To me, it’s a brand that really epitomises the US — it’s a staple that encapsulates American sportswear. What are your first memories with the label?
We were introduced to GANT when they reached out to us earlier this year. We’re so happy they did. Being a part of the 75th anniversary campaign has been a massive highlight for us.
How does the GANT brand align with your personal style and values?
GANT is classic and classy — there are so many pieces that are staples or foundational to building out a wardrobe. It’s also important to note that every rock band needs to be a little preppy at some point. GANT gives us that thrill.
In Metamorphosis Complete, you have an ironic song called Hater’s Anthem, which says: “I love the way it feels to be a hater / Something so sweet about thinking that I’m better (…) / If I waste away and no one things I’m clever / Just as long as I have my ego and it tells me I’m superior / I could probably go a lifetime being barely mediocre.” I love how blunt it is. How do you react to haters yourselves?
Thank you. We don’t react to haters :)
You’re in the middle of your world tour, currently playing in Europe, and you’ll be later visiting Australia and back to do some gigs in the United States. How do you prepare both physically and mentally for such a draining experience across different countries and continents?
The European and UK tour was life-changing; something we’ll never forget. It’s hard work but it’s good work. It’s important to remember that we’ve worked and prayed for this our whole lives — that makes it easier when it gets draining. The fans also make it easier. Yes, it’s draining but it’s worth it. We wouldn’t trade it for anything.
