Combine the voice of renowned North Carolina native MC/singer/songwriter Phonte (of the group Little Brother) with the soulful, melodic sounds of Holland born producer Nicolay and you have The Foreign Exchange. Recently nominated for a Grammy for their work on the release Leave It All Behind, this dynamic group brings a live performance guaranteed to leave crowds breathless and wanting more!
The Foreign Exchange is an artistic collective helmed by singer/songwriter Phonte Coleman and producer Nicolay. The Foreign Exchange came together via the online hip-hop community Okayplayer.com in 2002. After trading files through Instant Messenger for over a year, Nicolay (living in his native Holland at the time) and Phonte (a Raleigh, NC resident) completed their debut album before they ever met each other in person. Their debut album 'Connected' (released in 2004) was an
underground smash with over 30,000 Nielson SoundScans to date.
