Sophia Venn
Sophia Venn found me while promoting her new R&B, Soul song Life I Knew. A song describing life changes and how something can crash down on you and change the way of life and how you knew it but you have to stand tall step outside and breathe the fresh air to move on with a new life.

Who is Chay CEO?
There’s a shift in the air unlike any before it’s time. The fight for inclusion has led to statues falling, companies donating, and families picking sides on where they will stand on the grand stage of history. From the shadows of R&B and the crowd of “lil” rappers a new type of artist emerges that we may not have wanted, but surely needed…Chay CEO.

Artifex
It seems as though music was inescapable for Artifex: Born to a Cuban father and Finnish mother, their interest in cultures from around the world exposed Artifex to a wide variety of music at an early age. Artifex’s father was a dancer who loved to throw parties complete with Cuban food and live music played through the night. This led to dancing, with Artifex joining the crowd feverishly.

Enzo x , A Big Music Artist On The Rise
Enzo X is a 19-year-old recording artist from Puerto Rico. He moved to the United States at the age of 11 as his family pursued better opportunities than the ones available in the island. “PR did not really offer my family too many options, and the education system was not getting better, so my mom decided to take me and my sister to the US pursuing a better life” said the artist. After graduating high school, Enzo started to shift his focus into music and business as possible career paths. With a highly anticipated summer for music, there is full commitment from himself and the people around him to have a dominant presence, and with a Spanish debut single on the way, he is set to become one of the brightest bilingual young talents this year. Enzo’s Debut single: “Add It Up” was released April 10th and shows versatility from the artist. Enzo has also released collab projects like “Patek” (feat. SteveOTG & Quiz), and “Killin’ Em” with RA, and has featured in Balenci’s “Caramel” along with Bsleezy. So far, he has shown a lot of versatility in the six projects that have been released up to date, providing a different sound and vibe for every single.

Ethan Gold
Ethan Gold is a multi-talented music maestro in a class all his own. The singer, songwriter, and instrumentalist thinks music found him just as much as he found it. Son of renowned novelist Herbert Gold, Ethan thinks his father’s success lowered resistance from his family as far as his creative endeavors went due to it not being a foreign idea. Growing up, Gold was drawn to the sonic exploration of artists like Brian Eno and loves the intimacy of artists such as Elliott Smith, Nick Drake, and other musicians who mix meaningful songwriting with musical integrity and creative arrangements. While being a fan of such prolific singer-songwriters, Ethan struggled when it came to lyrics. “It took me years to get comfortable with lyrics. I was always more comfortable in the musical realm and the lyrics were an afterthought that I didn’t really enjoy, but in the last few years, I find I write a lot quicker. A song is usually done in an hour or two,” he explains.

Songwriter and Versatile Music Artist, Calvin
I love a good background story and music artist Calvin has one: Songwriter, and versatile music artist, Willie Calvin Henry (IV) interest in music started around the age 5. Calvin started recording songs from the radio with a cassette tape and making beats on lunchroom tables and on classroom desks. By the age 15, he started hanging out with the wrong crowd and getting in trouble so he moved with his dad to Champaign Illinois where he started to further pursue his music career. He joined a group that is now known as Squad Money Music. By late 2009, he had a daughter and moved to Florida with her mother where he would then put his music career on hold. Fast forward to the mid 2015 his son was born and that was when he decided to pursue his music career. Mid 2019, his highly anticipated album All Vibes was released and has skyrocketed off-the-charts!

The Triumph of The Village Prince The Rapper of The Decade
As the son of a diamond dealer and of a tribe that’s heavily into Jeleba --- a culture birthed in Kenema where people sing and dance live at weddings and ceremonies using a wide range of live instruments --- Prince was alway surrounded by music and creativity. Instruments like: trumpets, bata, pianos, kora, djembe, mbira, and kalimba made him grow to love instrumentation, while American artists like Michael Jackson made him appreciate artistry. The musical style, dances, lyrics can all be attributed to artists he saw on tv.
