Named among People’s Emerging Artists to Watch, Genevieve Stokes is one of alternative pop’s brightest stars. She taught herself piano at the age of eight and spent her teen years developing her own unique sound, inspired by iconic female musicians like Fiona Apple and Regina Spektor. Still, she infused her own repertoire with her deeply personal experience and perspective.
Stokes initially drew attention and applause for her intimate yet lush approach to alternative pop, amassing over 7 million streams even before releasing her debut EP. Her rise included placements on esteemed playlists and support from Complex, EARMILK, Ones to Watch, and more.
Her latest EP, Catching Rabbits, is a dreamy exploration of healing and unlocking one’s inner child. The lead single, "Habits," produced by Tony Berg (Phoebe Bridgers, Paul McCartney), was featured in PAPER and Teen Vogue, accumulating nearly 105 million global streams.
LA-based singer-songwriter Lily Kershaw returns with her first new music since 2020. The wistful and witty "Depreshmode" sees Kershaw open up like never before as she explores her experience with prolonged depression. Produced by Brandon Walters (Lord Huron), "Depreshmode" is the first taste of Kershaw's upcoming album.
Kershaw honed her craft on tours alongside Radical Face, Mason Jennings, the Weepies, and Joshua Radin, surpassing 80 million streams to date.
