Encouraged by his father, Martin began playing drums and singing at the age of nine. Expanding his musical knowledge, Martin picked up both the guitar and piano around his freshman year of high school which eventually led him to discover a love for producing. Martin’s authentic sound is derived from his most beloved artists such as James Bay, John Mayer, Maggie Rogers and Ed Sheeran, coupled with the timeless classics that were played around his house. He describes his music and delicate songwriting as “the beauty and ugliness of heavy heartedness.”

Finn Matthews

Finn has been unstoppable this year, having released 4 records thus far with more to come before 2020 ends, and he is featured on Rick Ross new single “Pinned To The Crossed.”

Finn's career started when he found a mentor in Elijah Blake, who has penned hits for artists like Rihanna, Usher and Rick Ross. Blake was floored by Finn's delicate, yet soulful falsetto voice. At 16, Finn moved from New Jersey to Los Angeles to pursue music fulltime. Soon after, he received a development deal w/ Live Nation and released his first single and music video for the song "Julia" which hit over 1.2 million views on Youtube. But Finn wasn't content to just stay in his lane as a pop vocalist. He honed his skills as a guitarist, writer and producer. And as Finn matured, so did his sound.

Finn presents a blend of vibey pop, rooted in R&B and marked by his signature vocal. Comparisons like Daniel Caesar or Jon Bellion come to mind. But, like his voice, this is a unique sound that is entirely Finn.

LEXXE

LEXXE is a musician and dancer from Long Island, NY. After pursuing a career as a professional dancer, the classically trained ballerina switched her sights to the music industry immediately after graduating from the Purchase Conservatory of Dance. Putting all of her talents to good use, LEXXE found a spot dancing, writing and composing original music for the critically acclaimed Baroque-Burlesque troupe Company XIV. She has been applauded as “an artist who sings, dances and directs, all with a refreshingly approachable demeanor,” by BILLBOARD, and spent the better half of 2019 playing Alice in XIV's Queen Of Hearts as well as working on her upcoming EP. With an aesthetic akin to a mixture of Manson and Madonna, her music and vision come together to create a sound and story that hasn't been done before.

Kyd the Band

The music of Northern California-bred Kyd the Band (real name Devin Guisande) is an ideal soundtrack to finding your place in an often-chaotic world, and radiates a hard-won positivity that inspires anyone to live more boldly. Born into a family in the Pentecostal Church, Devin got his start playing drums. At age 16 he co-founded a band with his brother Kyle and began writing songs of his own, relying entirely on instinct rather than mining influence from other artists (“I didn’t know who Kanye West was till I was 18,” notes Guisande, who couldn't watch movies or listen to secular music). Over the next two years, Guisande experienced a life-changing transformation as he left the church he was raised in and moved away from home heading to Los Angeles. [...] Read More

Keeana Kee

Keeana has proven an unlikely immigrant success story since her arrival here in 2016 after leaving university in London while still a teenager to pursue her modeling career, living in Milan and Paris before settling in New York. The beautifully shot video filmed at Joshua Tree in the California desert, tells the story of a Latin American native father being reunited with his daughter, offering a spirituality in the guise of three tribesman – one woman and two men -- accompanying Keeana’s guardian angel, who provides guidance as she oversees those making the pilgrimage. Through the choir-like chorus, Keeana wants listeners to know that someone is always with you, encouraging you not to give up. [...] Read More

Keeana’s first single, the tropical/reggae-flavored “Coconut Rum and Coke,” a collaboration with famed Latin Multi-Grammy Award Winning producer Maffio {Pitbull J. Balvin, Farruko, Nicky Jam) heralded the introduction of an intriguing new talent. The accompanying video, which Keeana describes as a “passionate lesbian love/lust story,” saw her become a passionate supporter for the LGBTQ community. Keeana is frank about her free-wheeling sexuality, refusing to be labeled. That ambiguity adds a delightful layer of mystery and intrigue to Keeana in the ways of such gender-bending artists such as David Bowie or Freddie Mercury. Even though she was discouraged from showing a same sex romance in both “Coconut Rum and Coke” and “You’re Real” music videos, Keeana’s creations mirror her life and experiences she’s had. That affirmative quality has always been a part of not just Keeana Kee’s music, but her life, an indomitable spirit that empowers others to be their true selves, even if it goes against others’ expectations.

Growing up in Eastern Europe, Keeana wrote her first song in English when she was just 10, “You Will Love Me,” as a fan of larger-than-life ‘90s divas such as Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey and Beyonce, as well as Aretha Franklin and Ray Charles, then later on, Rihanna and Sia. Her fresh, breezy personality dominates the music, proving both sensual and fun, making people feel good about themselves, her ultimate goal. Just as important to Keeana as her music is giving back to the community, especially her membership in ISINA, Inc., a music talent search and mentoring program with producer Walter Afanasieff, Kenny G., Humberto Garcia and Paul Oakenfold. Turns out Afanasieff, who famously worked with Mariah Carey, heard her song, “Let’s Make Love” and wanted to be introduced to Kee.

It is all part of Keeana Kee’s mission as an artist, to spread joy and empower people to be their best, most authentic selves. That comes across in her music and her inspirational story.

Natural Mystery Museum

For as much as people lament the state of rock ‘n’ roll, it really just needs a push, a shot of adrenaline, or a good old-fashioned kick in the butt. Natural Mystery Museum provide all three (not necessarily in that order). The North London trio—Perry Read [vocals, bass], Mike Whitaker [guitar], and Tom Triggs [drums]—rip up the rulebook and groove right through razor sharp riffs, gritty vocals, and off-kilter rhythms. Already at the forefront of a growing fanbase and acclaimed by the likes of American Songwriter, the band wields a fire of their own on their 2020 independent EP, Illusionary Tales. [...] Read More

“We like to keep it fresh,” exclaims Tom. “We’re not going to be the type of band who plays to a click or auto tunes. We maintain the raw element.”

Hailing from different parts of the city, the musicians congregated in North London during 2018 where they formed Natural Mystery Museum. Between a steady stream of gigs, they officially introduced themselves on the 2019 Volume 0 EP led by the singles “Dead Friends” and “If I (Could Lie).” In November, they hit Premises Studios in London and recorded what would become Illusionary Tales.

Nodding to influences such as Jack White and Queens of the Stone Age, they implemented new guitar tones, expanding the soundscape.

“We decided to change the sound to a heavier vibe,” adds Perry. “I really messed with the tones and turned my bass into a guitar.”

A rush of distortion underpins a swaggering strut on the EP opener and first single “Sixes & Sevens” as Perry’s howl hits hard. The unpredictable bounce captures “a state of general disarray and confusion,” according to the frontman. On the other end of the spectrum, the slow burn of “Forget Me Knots” crawls to an emotionally charged refrain.

“It’s one of the most personal songs I’ve written,” Perry goes on. “It’s loosely based around dementia. I’ve lost a couple of grandparents due to it, so the subject just came to me one day.”

“So Sweet” speaks to fractured politics around the globe with lyrics “about pretending everything’s okay, whereas their selling off our future in the UK—like dancing in a burning room.” The EP culminates on the breakup anthem “We Don’t Speak.” An arena-ready beat gives way to a hummable guitar lead as the vocals puncture airy keys.

“It actually inspired the title,” says Tom. “We worked on it forever and rewrote it, and ‘We Don’t Speak’ sort of became an illusionary tale in and of itself. We got there though.”

In the end, Natural Mystery Museum might just be the push rock ‘n’ roll needs.

Sam Fischer

After college Sam booked that one-way ticket to LA. As one does. As everyone does, in fact. LA not exactly being short of musicians hoping to make it. “I moved to LA with stars in my eyes,” he remembers. “I really thought the music industry would open its arms to me.” After two months Sam had run out of money. At night he’d go to bars and clubs, attempting to meet anyone involved in the music industry. “The next morning I’d email and set up a lunch meeting,” Sam adds. “I’d eat one meal a day, in the lunch meeting. When I look back I go: how the hell did you do that?” [...] Read More

Sam’s scheme paid off and he signed to a small indie label. Suddenly, things were looking up. Everything would be fine. And it was, for a while. Then after ten months and precisely zero releases, it was over. The split was as amicable as these things generally can be, which meant that Sam was allowed to keep the songs he’d been working on. One of them, “This City”, which Sam had written about his earlier struggles making it in LA, took on a new meaning. The song took further significance when Sam released it the following year and saw it soar to 75m streams (and counting), launching his career in the process. “I’m forever grateful for ‘This City’,” Sam smiles.

“This City’s” slow-burn success also led to further well-received releases, as well as a pivotal tour with Lewis Capaldi — although Sam had to swerve the opening date as it fell on his wedding day. “The tour made for a strange honeymoon, but Lewis is an absolute icon and a very dear mate and I probably wouldn’t be here without him,” Sam adds. The success of Sam’s music has also resulted in a new deal with RCA Records with plans to release a deluge of new material in 2020.

Among the new songs is one called “Ready” which, like “This City” and a number of Sam’s other tunes, is an unconventional take on a love song: it’s a love song that isn’t a love song, but it’s also sort of a love song. “It’s unrequited love,” Sam begins. “It’s ‘I know I can be good for you, I know we can be good for each other, but you don’t see it and it’s killing me’. But it’s not about romance.”

Sam adds that seeing fans and listeners decipher his lyrics and insert their own experiences into his work is one of the most rewarding aspects of songwriting. “It’s so beautiful to see people find their own meaning in my songs,” he says. “I want my music to be a safe place for people to feel their own feelings and to talk about themselves when they haven’t yet found their own way of doing it. I want people to feel they can take cover in my words.”

Camryn Quinlan

Rising star Camryn Quinlan’s talent shines through in everything she does whether it’s creating her own original music or performing as a member of Acapop! KIDS. The young singer-songwriter was born and raised in New York with a love of music and dreams of taking her talents on-stage. At just 13-years old, Camryn has already proven the immeasurable power and depth of her vocal abilities. Her powerhouse vocals can be compared to that of a young Ariana Grande or Katy Perry.

Liberty

Nothing connects us quite like music does, it transcends any and all boundaries and brings us together. Liberty extends this connection through each and every tune she pens. With a powerful voice, lyrical eloquence, and warm spirit, the 18-year-old Southern California singer-songwriter turns true stories and unfiltered emotions into artful alternative pop carried by intimate lyricism and dynamic vocals. She formally introduces herself on a series of 2020 singles and her forthcoming independent debut album. [...] Read More

“I thrive on human connection,” she exclaims. “Being authentic and real with others fuels my life. It’s also what I try to do in my songs. I’m sharing my story. It’s so natural for me to be personal. Whatever flaws or pain we have, it’s still beautiful. Music proves that there’s art and beauty in every single moment.”

The second youngest of six children, mom homeschooled all of the siblings and built an inclusive and encouraging environment. At eight-years-old, Liberty wrote her first song in order to cope with her parents’ divorce. Inspired by everyone from Birdy and Kesha to Tyler, The Creator, she quietly kept writing before her dad enrolled her in singing lessons at the age of twelve. She cut her teeth through gigging around town before gaining acceptance into the Dallas-based Septien Entertainment Group—whose alumni includes Demi Lovato, Selena Gomez, Kacey Musgraves, and many more. At this veritable creative boot camp, she spent nine hours a day in sessions, lessons, and rehearsing. Additionally, she impressed vocal coach Remington Rafael so much he agreed to produce her first two releases. With Remington behind the board, she reimagined Hey Violet’s “Guys My Age.” Over an airy electronic soundscape, her voice recharges the original with a silky sense of soul.

“‘Guys My Age’ makes me feel seriously empowered,” she reveals. “I love the message. I was going through a boy problem at the time, and it’s one you can just scream along to.”

Her original single, “Tattoo,” immediately leaves a mark, breathy verses coast over a skittering beat as the track builds towards an evocative chorus.

“Moving from California to Dallas was a huge transition,” she states. “The lyrics are about how it feels to go from childhood to adulthood so quickly. The different challenges I had to face and the friendships I had to lose. I was hurt by a lot of people who judged me for leaving to follow my dream. I’m never going to stop chasing that dream though.”

By following that dream, she ultimately forges an enduring connection with these releases and many more to come.

“Music helps people feel understood,” she leaves off. “Being able to connect to other artists has changed my life. That’s what I want to do. If you listen to me, I hope you know someone out there understands.

Haven

Singer/songwriter Haven is nothing short of a pop powerhouse. Her young career kicked off by writing country tunes in the heart of country music, Nashville. Growing up in the 1,600-person town of Moville, Iowa, Haven decided to head to ‘music city’ at age 12 – where her singing and songwriting talents were quickly recognized. A small-town girl with a big-time stage presence, Haven began touring the nation by age 15 with major country acts such as Thomas Rhett, Lady Antebellum, Toby Keith and Hunter Hayes. While touring the nation, Haven was exposed to the realm of pop music for the first time since leaving her small-town roots and ultimately fell in love with the genre. [...] Read More
