Air Vegas

Air Vegas is an American music collective based out of Timberlake, Las Vegas, Nevada. The current lineup consists of brothers Jay Butterfield (Electrinator), Rex Butterfield (R3X Fadeaway), Eli Butterfield (E-Boss), Erik Ebert (Rising Phoenix), and Ivy Butterfield (I.V.B.)

Early Bands (2017)
Though technically not the same franchise as the current collective, the Butterfield brothers performed together in a band that went by various names in 2017. Some of the names of these bands were Night Aviators, Fusion the Band, and .22 Young Guns. They released one single under the name .22 Young Guns, Cyclone, to Soundcloud but not officially to any major platforms. However the brothers performed music in Timberlake from June to September 2017, with the recurring name Night Aviators, the most associated name with the band. The history of this band is directly related to the current collective.

Air Vegas (2020-present)
After nearly 3 years after branching out into their own solo careers, the Butterfield brothers re-established a group project under the name Air Vegas in March 2020. The collective consisted of the original lineup of the 2017 bands.

Air Vegas has been promoted heavily by Electrinator Audio Productions as a supergroup of some of EAP's cornerstone artists. The group announced their debut extended play, In the Air, which will release in 2021.

In December 2020, Air Vegas frontman Jay Butterfield announced the addition of two members to the lineup, Rising Phoenix and I.V.B. Rising Phoenix is a first cousin to the 3 brothers and I.V.B. is their sister.

Jay Butterfield (Electrinator) - lead producer, lead melodist, lead songwriter, mixing, mastering

Rex Butterfield (R3X Fadeaway) - lead beatmaker, tertiary producer, tertiary melodist

Eli Butterfield (E-Boss) - lead vocalist, secondary songwriter

Erik Ebert (Rising Phoenix) - secondary producer, secondary melodist, secondary beatmaker

Ivy Butterfield (I.V.B.) - backing vocalist, tertiary songwriter

Group Relations
Jay, Rex, and Eli Butterfield did not split up their original band due to soured relations within, but moreso to branch out into their own solo careers. Out of the 3, Jay had the most successful and prominent solo career, followed by Rex, then Eli. Later on, the collective expanded to five members, adding the original trio's sister I.V.B. and their first cousin Rising Phoenix.

The idea of Air Vegas came during a jog between the brothers to reunite the band under a new name with a new brand, as a side project for all of them.

Jay is the executive producer of the collective, and creates the majority of the melodies that the band uses. He is also the primary songwriter and head mixer and masterer. He serves as band frontman and spokesperson.

Rex is the primary beatmaker of the group, and creates most of the bands drumlines for songs. He also is a singer, but has not sang on songs for a while.

Eli is the lead vocalist of the group, and he primarily sings and raps the songs that his brother Jay writes.

Erik is a secondary beatmaker and melodist who is the top producer behind Jay. He is trained in guitar, and is an experienced melody creator with mentoring by his cousin Jay. Jay described him as "the second best producer on the lineup".

Ivy is a backing vocalist, and the second most important vocalist in the group. She backs up her older brother, Eli, on the songs and primarily sings what her brother Jay writes.

The collective is closely associated with member Erik Ebert's siblings who are the Butterfield siblings' first cousins. Although not official members of the collective, Aubrey, Austin, and Alex Ebert are close associates of the collective.

Due to his remote location from the other members of the collective, Erik and the Butterfield siblings regularly use Soundtrap cloud music maker to collaborate. However on trips down to Duncan, the collective works together in person.
