Originally from Virginia, Lake Stovall started his education in Dance at Old Dominion University and progressed his creative skills by moving to California and continuing his studies in Sound Design and Production at the Academy of Art in San Francisco. With this knowledge, he worked his way from freestyling and dancing in battles with his friends to producing quality music for other artists and making his own, as well. Lake strives to write and produce music that can reach people. He aims to connect with others through music and influence anyone who is inspired by the language of musical artistry.

21 year old singer/songwriter and Seattle native Isaiah Banks delivers a quality of vocals you don’t hear everyday.

He grew up singing in church and was apart of glee club and musical theatre throughout middle and high school. Currently getting material ready for an ep, working with some amazing producers and artists in the Seattle area. He is so excited to finally give his fans a chance to listen to him at home or on the go!

Edimbo Lekea: edilekea.wixsite.com/ndi60

Born in Creil, France, Edimbo is a Congolese artist / muralist / drummer that showcases the beauty, the strength, and untold truth centered around global Afrocentric culture. Founder of Natty Dread Illustration in 2015, Edimbo's art is meant to serve as a visual sanctuary and an intersection of the diasporas to understand each others' subculture better. He uses acrylic to tell stories thru realism (and abstract on rare occasions) and highlights them with bright, warm colors to represent the warmth of our existence."
