Today, fast-rising New Zealand producer BAYNK has released the stunning official video for recent single "Come Home," a collaboration with Chicago-based artist Shallou. Check out the video's premiere with Milk HERE.
The video was filmed in Paris and showcases an incredible dance sequence by 19 y/o Prague-based illustrator/dancer Mr. Kriss (Kristian Mensa), featuring his experimental style that mixes elements of break dance and hip hop. Kristian was included in Huffington Post's "20 Under 20" most gifted young Innovators worldwide in 2016

The video was produced and directed in collaboration with Czech Vibes, a multi-faceted music company owned by two female artists from the Czech Republic, Marketa (26) and Magdalena (23), who dedicate their life to photography & videography. The company is a YouTube channel and record label - a place where their visuals meet a lifelong passion for music, which has spanned indie projects as well as commercial projects with Skoda cars and T-mobile.
After a series of major festival plays such as Laneway Festival, Rhythm & Vines and Rhythm & Alps, as well as a 26-date support run with Matoma, BAYNK will join Australian producer
Hayden James on his fall U.S. tour as direct support and has also announced a performance at Laneway Festival Jan '18. Full date listing below.

"Come Home" is co-produced by Chicago-based artist
Shallou and features his vocal work as well. The collaboration is a taste of BAYNK's forthcoming debut EP, slated for a fall 2017 release. The track was also coupled with an official remix package of four new mixes from Billboard, Shisto, Hazey Eyes, and Cabu spanning various styles but all retaining the essence of hope and subtle melancholy that line the effortlessly smooth track.
Born Jock Nowell-Usticke, BAYNK has been on a fast rise over the last year with a string of singles which have amassed 18MM+ plays on Spotify to date. Early singles like "About Me" and "Could You" began turning heads in early 2016 and it's been a whirlwind ever since with recent singles "What You Need"(featuring fellow NZ-native NÏKA) and "Poolside" further establishing BAYNK as a top new artist-to-watch in the upcoming producer game.
Shallou (real name Joe Boston) has ridden a similar wave of recent buzz driven by standout singles "Doubt" and "Begin (ft. Wales)" as well as his debut EP release earlier this year titled All Becomes Okay. A seasoned musician, producer, and vocalist,
Shallou adds his signature beautiful and dark soundscapes to "Come Home," an undeniable touch that has garnered 25MM+ Spotify streams and love from outlets such as
The FADER and
SPIN.
Of BAYNK's out-of-nowhere break into the scene,
Noisey describes, "the New Zealand kid puts a song up on Soundcloud in early 2015 while traveling around Europe. He loses his laptop, goes surfing for a week and returns to find the track going bonkers. Next he's on the Laneway Festival line-up and getting emails from music industry people wanting to talk."
With a structural pop sensibility that sets him on a level of his own, BAYNK's releases have earned him early critical praise as well as support from major tastemaker YouTube channels such as
Majestic Casual and
Chill Nation and hitting #1 on Hype Machine. Known for his sensual textures and layered electronic arrangements, BAYNK has also released notable remixes for artists such as gnash "I hate u, I love u" as well as A R I Z O N A "I Was Wrong."
To add to his fast-growing list of accolades, earlier this year BAYNK participated in a recent Nike collaboration on track "Find You" celebrating Nike's 'Air Max Day' - check it out
