Alice Longyu Gao has proven to be one of contemporary music’s most uncompromising and pioneering names. A musician who bends genres and styles by xyr own design—tracks like "I <3 Harajuku" have become anthems for a hyper-online community searching for a punk-minded take on pop music far away from the convention of what’s expected from the genre. Gao reaches beyond a singular medium, redefining what it means to be a multi-hyphenate creator. After a left-field take on 'the future of music' in the form of Oli Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon collab "Believe The Hype" last year, Alice unveiled "Hello Kitty" which showcases joyous disregard for convention perfectly, setting the stage for her highly anticipated second debut EP Let’s Hope Heteros Fail, Learn and Retire out on March 9th.
Velvet Dreaming is the solo electropop project of Boston's Kade Thibodeau. Coming from a punk background, while also being heavily inspired by artists like Charli XCX, SOPHIE, and PC Music associates, their catchy songs with a rough edge will get stuck in your head for days.
123 (one-two-three) is a singer/producer/composer based on the East Coast. Born in Japan, her music has been influenced by hip-hop, EDM, jazz, and soul. Through these genres, she has created her own unique style of music. She has toured with accomplished artists and groups such as Yu.S.Artistry, both opening for them and serving as a music director and composer.
