SiR's NPR Tiny Desk concert is here, and even features his mother and older brother on backing vocals.
NPR have uploaded SiR's Tiny Desk performance, where he performs "The Recipe", "New Sky", "Wires In The Way", and "John Redcorn" - tracks lifted from his 2019 album Chasing Summer.
During the concert, he introduces his band, which features two family members as backing vocalists, including his mother Jacquelyn Farris, and older brother Davion Farris.
Jacquelyn Farris used to sing backing vocals for Anita Baker. SiR also has another older brother, D Smoke, who won the Netflix talent show Rhythm + Flow last year.
SiR plays London's O2 Shepherd's Bush Empire on 25 February. Find out more.
