SongVault Artist Profile

Tribe is a three piece band which formed in Los Angeles California. Guitarist Denner Vieira and Drummer Rick Pivetta Set out to Los Angeles from Brazil to break the boundaries of comfort, bringing their music and creativity to the center of western culture.

“When we came to the US, we left the comforts of home behind, knowing that the challenge alone of setting ourselves apart from the thousands of musicians here would be the motivating force that drives us musically” Says Denner.

Jamie Waite, Singer and Bass Player of Tribe, Born in England, Moved to Los Angeles from Auckland New Zealand, in pursuit of musicians he could share his vision with. Jamie explains, “Where better than the heart of the beast? I had played with many musicians in New Zealand and LA, but didn’t quite share the same vision. I found an ad looking for a singer for this band Kaiowas, I heard the music and knew this was right for me.”

Jamie filled the spot for vocals and bass, joining Rick and Denner to complete this powerful trio with a shared vision. Exploring the boundaries of music, the mind and the evolution of conscious awareness. From this collective driving force, they formed, Tribe.
