OUR STORY

Philip Basnight knew from a young age that he had aĀ knack for writing a good song and growing up near DC, the spirit of DIY music was always the constant.

He and Colin Cross met at William & Mary — Philip was performing around campus, Colin was building a studio in his basement. Philip came over to record some demos and a real partnership was born.

From those basement sessions, Broke Royals grew into a full band with Rebecca Basnight, Taimir Gore, and Ben Wilson. What started as demos between two college friends has since taken them to festival stages, cross-country tours, and a catalog of records they're genuinely proud of.
