Biography

On a stormy night in Philadelphia with Parliament-Funkadelic blasting in the background, Kyle Sparkman was thrust into this world with a raging-red bushel of hair and an electric guitar in his hands. His live show – energetic. His lyrics – prophetic. His fashion sense – pathetic. He's on a mission to pollute the world's hearts and minds with an accessibly-groovy brand of guitar-driven indie funk. Once described as "Mac Demarco, John Frusciante, Tom Misch, and disco all rolled into one", Kyle's song "Funk215" was his first composition that traveled the world... and beyond. In 2022, astronaut Dr. Chris Boshuizen took flight into space alongside William Shatner and brought a hard drive containing "Funk215" into orbit with him. 8 singles and one live EP, later Kyle is finally tired enough of people asking him about an album to put one out. IRRATIONAL ACTORS, slated for a Fall 2022 release, is Sparkman's debut album. The 10-track effort features his unique blend of groove-tastic indie funk, jazz-tingged psychedelic sounds, and the tender guitar stylings that have informed his playing over the years. Spanning 4 producers, 14 musicians, and 4 studios, each track on the album brings its own brand of Philadelphian musical power to the table. Praise for Kyle's tunes: “One of the funkiest fresh talents from Philadelphia” - Music Crowns “alternative goodness that’ll make you want to get up and groove” - ThisSongisSick.com “instantly groovy” - WXPN’s the Key
