Infinity Song Is Going for Superstardom

A
s soon as you hear their celestial harmonies, you need to find them.  

If you happened to be looking for them on a cold afternoon in February 2024, you would have found the band of four siblings sitting in the Rolling Stone offices, strumming acoustic guitars. Their layered voices reverberated against the glass walls, completely transforming the space into an ethereal stage of their own. With each note, they instantly captivated anyone who walked by. They were introducing themselves as Infinity Song — and they were about to have a banner year.

Almost a full year later in February 2025, the band is back in the very same conference room, ready to talk about everything that’s gone down over the last 12 months. “It feels far away and close at the same time,” Abraham Boyd, 32, says now, surrounded by his younger siblings, Angel, 28, Israel, 27, and Thalia “Momo,” 25. “It’s a weird thing. So much has happened since then.”

This is a total understatement. In 2024, the New York-based soft rock group leveled up their act in every way possible. Infinity Song hosted a residency at the Blue Note Jazz Club, opened for Lake Street Dive at Madison Square Garden, toured across the world for the first time, gained new fans, and reveled in the success of their 2023 EP Metamorphosis. It was this project that saw them transform the R&B from their major-label debut 2020 Mad Love into a full-blown rock act with lush vocals and acoustic tendencies softening out the edges of their sound — think the Bee Gees or even Fleetwood Mac. The sonic change was a welcome one; soon after Metamorphosis’ release, Infinity Song went viral online for  catchy melodies that swirl and twist their way inside your head. In August 2023, the witty “Hater’s Anthem” kicked things off and by December 2023, angsty number “Slow Burn” raked up views and streams.

But nothing sums up their experience of this past year quite like Metamorphosis’ title track, a song where the band practically prophesied the next chapter of their career. “Look at all the things you did/Look at your metamorphosis,” they sing in unison.

“We’re still metamorphosing,” Israel explains now. “While we definitely did go through a metamorphosis, and we are completely different, and we’ve graduated so much, I think we still find ourselves changing and feeling like we have so much more to accomplish.”

Infinity Song are no strangers to the grind. The band has been trying to make it in music for over a decade at this point. A big bulk of those years were spent performing in the New York City subway and across Central Park, cultivating their voices and learning to make a home out of any stage. Their busking in Central Park yielded a big break: In 2016, Infinity Song signed to Roc Nation after Jeymes Samuel showed Jay-Z a video of the band singing in the park. (An early lineup of the band only featured Abraham, Angel, and their sister, Victory, who left in 2022. Israel and Momo eventually joined.) 

It’s no surprise that Infinity Song feels most at home when they’re performing. “The stage is one of the safest places we know,” Abraham says. Israel agrees: “We live on stage.” Among all of their accomplishments over the course of 2024, the band is most proud of taking their live performance across the world to sold-out audiences in London and Sydney. While they just announced another slate of live dates, the shows from 2024 hold a special place. “We’ll never have that inaugural moment again,” Angel says.

Growing up in Detroit in a family of nine, the Boyd siblings began shaping their musical abilities at a young age by singing in the Boys and Girls Choir of Detroit. Their father, John Boyd, founded the community choir while he juggled jobs as a security guard and school choir director. The Boyds’ mother, a former educator, folded in lessons about their deeply embedded African American culture and faith into their homeschooling curriculum. 

“We have spent so much of our lives dreaming together, and working together, and building each other to be who we are,” Momo says of her impenetrable bond with her siblings. It’s palpable in the room as they swap memories of their “when I get rich and famous” conversations as kids or how their father always had a proverb to share with them.

As Abraham recalls growing up in the Boyd house, he makes one thing clear. “We didn’t come from means. We didn’t come from wealth. We didn’t have a silver spoon in our mouth,” he says, adding, “Our struggle was substantial.” 

Momo also wants to clear up the misconceptions that people who come across Infinity Song now may have. “They think that we come from a private schooling background or middle class background, well-off, and everything was really aligned for us. And that blew my mind… That could not be further from the reality,” she explains. 

While the members of Infinity Song worked hard to get where they are, they recognize the privileges their parents did provide them. “We had love in our house growing up, that’s what we had. We had two parents who believed better for us, and they empowered us and they continue to empower us to go after what we dream of,” Abraham says. He credits his parents for helping each sibling build a strong sense of identity. “We come from a lineage of African slaves. That’s our background,” he says. “We are the embodiment of African-Americans. And we represent to the world, to the globe, to everyone, we represent what it looks like to be African American.” It’s something they’ve been cognizant of since they delved into the soft rock genre, one that hasn’t historically featured Black groups.

Infinity Song are now confident enough to set their sights on bigger goals: Now, they’re looking at superstardom. “Several diamond records, arenas, stadiums, headlining festivals, you name it, that’s what we’re after,” Abraham says. All of this feels within reach for a band who continues to sharpen their strong sense of identity and evolve their sound. Infinity Song knows just the thing that could level them up further. “I hope that we have a huge song… Every successful act needs at least one, and that is the catalyst for the rest of your life,” Israel says. 

Angel agrees, but she’s after the kind of inescapable hit that blasts in the city streets, whether it be from a taxi or a hot dog cart radio, the type of fame “when your music is generally a part of life in a universal way and in a pop way,” as she describes it.

Infinity Song have already started shaping what could be their smash hit. While Israel says their new music is still in the inception stage, Angel promises, “music will be out very, very soon. We work fast.” The next Infinity Songs releases will follow their soft rock blueprint. “They’re still going to have a heavy soft rock and rock vibe to them, but I think they’re going to lean more pop,” Angel says.

It’s all a part of their long journey, a marathon as they call it. “We will get to the finish line,” Abraham pledges. “We look forward to getting the world.”
