Braden Bales, a rising talent from Toronto, has garnered swift recognition for his unique musical style that effortlessly fuses indie, pop, and alternative elements, transcending traditional genre boundaries. His breakout single, "Chronically Cautious," struck a chord with audiences, resonating deeply with its relatable themes of anxiety and self-reflection, while subsequent tracks like "Heaven Again" and "I Write Songs About You" continued to showcase his prowess in capturing unfiltered emotions.

Ezra is a dynamic singer/songwriter from the Bronx, now making waves from his base in Los Angeles. Drawing inspiration from the emotional depth of his favorite artists growing up, Ezra crafts music that connects deeply with listeners, offering a sense of therapy and understanding. His unique genre-blending style—dubbed "Ezracore" by fans on TikTok—seamlessly fuses hyperpop, rock, and rap elements, creating a sound that’s unmistakably his own.
Ezra’s meticulous storytelling and controlled, yet chaotic production style make each track an immersive experience.Whether he's selling out shows or landing coveted playlist features, Ezra is proving himself as a fresh voice redefining boundaries in modern music.

Afterthought blends hip-hop, jazz, R&B, and soul into a sound that is both forward-thinking and nostalgic. Drawing from his experience as a child of the foster care and adoption systems, the San Francisco rapper/producer/songwriter has built his musical foundation on one undying principle: Family First.
Aft has performed over 100 shows across the Bay Area, including residencies at venues such as El Rio, The Chapel, and Academy of Sciences Nightlife. He has also toured across the US and Europe with his collective Family Not A Group and his band, the Top Chefs. As a youth counselor, he uses his platform to advocate for underrepresented communities and inspire positive change.
