THE EMPIRE

The Empire creates a world where Hip Hop and jazz collide in a surge of color and motion. The music moves with purpose. It hits hard, then sinks into quiet moments that feel almost suspended in time. At the center is Gengis Don, a Brooklyn native who works as both Bandleader & Drummer.

His vision shapes the group’s unmistakable voice. Many describe The Empire’s sound as the love child of Jazz and Boom Bap - a living score that captures the tension, beauty, and urgency of the world today while staying grounded in the traditions that raised it.
