Listen to "Amber & Crimson"


"Amber & Crimson" is more than just a song; it's a celebration of the season's transformative beauty. As Tien Viet Nguyen, the co-founder of Lavender Beat Collective, expresses:


"Fall is my favorite season, it’s a beautiful reminder that we all come from and return to Mother Earth. Each leaf follows its own path to the soil, creating a beautiful tapestry of color on its way to rebirth and continued transformation."


Lavender Beat Collective is a unique worldbeat project that brings together a diverse group of talented musicians from across the globe:

  • Tien Viet Nguyen (@tienmusic): Vocals and Flute

  • Max Macveety (@maxmacveety): Drums

  • Samson Olawale (@samson.olawale.92): Percussion

  • Cooper Appelt (@cooperappelt): Bass

  • Nicolas James Scott (@nicolasjamesscott): Keys

  • Sweetfoot Studios (@sweetfootstudios): Guitar

  • Evandro Hasse (@evandrohasse): Soprano Saxophone

Lavender Beat Collective was founded in Long Beach, California, in 2021 by vocalist/producer Tien Viet Nguyen (SAÍGO, Kan Wakan) and drummer/producer Max Macveety (Bunky, Shots Fired, Crown City Rockers, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe). This worldbeat project is not just a band but a creative habit, built on weekly sessions that bring together remote-recording musicians worldwide. The mission is simple: to create soulful, danceable compositions that reflect the diverse backgrounds and experiences of its members.

Featured Artist: Evandro Hasse
