AYEL

AYEL is a French singer-songwriter, producer, pianist, and film composer based in Boston. Her sound blends pop, R&B, soul, rock, electronic, and cinematic influences, bringing together intimate songwriting and expansive arrangements. Currently studying Film Scoring at Berklee College of Music, she moves between writing for her own project, collaborating with other artists, and composing for film. Her music explores vulnerability, self-expression, and the search for connection, with the intention of making listeners feel seen, heard, and less alone. Her recent work includes the release “Better” and the placement of “The Story Never Ends” in All American.

Belen

Belen is a francophone German-Filipino-American folk-adjacent singer-songwriter and multidisciplinary artist based in Boston. Known for her acoustic textures and tender songwriting, she draws on her multicultural upbringing and visual-art background to create music rooted in vulnerability and emotional storytelling. Born in Berkeley, California, and raised between a rural village in southern France and Germany, she brings a distinctive perspective to her work. She taught herself guitar at 16 before moving to Paris to study music, and now attends Berklee College of Music on a full-tuition scholarship. Her cover of “Ma Meilleure Ennemie” from Netflix’s Arcane reached over three million views across platforms, and she is currently preparing her upcoming EP, From Above.

DÁN

DÁN is an Italian songwriter, vocalist, producer, and composer based in Boston. Originally from northern Italy, his musical journey has taken him from festivals and live performance to Berklee College of Music, where he expanded his craft in music production, recording, and engineering. His upcoming debut album, magari, marks a new chapter in his artistic journey: a personal and evolving project shaped by collaboration, experimentation, and a desire to create music that feels authentic and deeply connected to his experiences. Blending his Italian roots with the influences he has encountered along the way, DÁN continues to explore and shape his own sound and artistic voice.

Aydan Hill

Aydan Hill is an emerging independent artist born in Moscow, Russia, and now based in Boston, Massachusetts. Blurring genre boundaries, his music draws inspiration from artists such as Frank Ocean, Sade, and Dominic Fike. A third-culture kid who speaks Russian, Spanish, and English, Aydan channels his experiences of traveling and living across different countries into songwriting that explores identity, belonging, and human connection. Ahead of his upcoming album, Coming of Age, he has been building a presence in Boston through distinctive live performances and collaborations with the city's creative community. His releases are accompanied by cinematic visuals created alongside local filmmakers, photographers, dancers, and other artists.
