Cubic Zirconia is an American electronic dance music trio from East Village, New York City composed of Tiombe Lockhart, Nick Hook and Daud Sturdivant.
They have been noted for their energetic live performances[1] and experimental sound, which combines elements from such genres as Chicago house music, neo-soul,[2] rock and electro-funk.
[1] The group was formed in the fall of 2008, when Men, Women & Children keyboardist Nick Hook met singer Tiombe Lockhart at a sake bar he worked at.
[3] The first release from the group arrived on June 22, 2009, in the form of Fuck Work EP and featured the likes of Dâm-Funk, Dances with White Girls and Nacho Lovers remixing the title track.
Later that year Weinstock left Cubic Zirconia to produce other artists as part of Social Security and play guitar in Hussle Club and Gina and The Eastern Block.
