The Five at Five: Bronze Avery

30 Jun 2022

From hidden-gems to places to people-watch, from bookshops to beauty spots – here is some inspiration, celebrating the independents in our local neighbourhoods around the world.

This week’s selection has been curated by Bronze Avery, a recording artist, songwriter, and producer that creates unique, genre-less sounds made for movement. He is also the winner of the first-ever Billboard NXT competition — a first-of-its-kind singing competition designed to discover the next great unsigned artist using TikTok.

If that wasn’t enough, Bronze is also the co-founder of RUXWOOD, a minimalist and modern essentials brand, on a mission to provide tools, products, and education to facilitate growth on one’s sensual journey. RUXWOOD empowers its consumers through their app, BLACKBOOK, which acts as a journal to monitor and reflect on sensual experiences.
