Kayla Oh is an up and coming indie singer-songwriter studying contemporary voice at NYU. At just 19 years old, she has developed a stark, diaristic writing style that captures the experience of being a teenage girl: navigating first loves, overcoming heartbreak, grappling with insecurity and comparison, and simultaneously never wanting the teenage dream to end. These themes are the heart of Kayla’s songwriting and storytelling, helping her create music that is both achingly relatable and memorable. Her style is inspired by songwriting legends like Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Bridgers, and Stevie Nicks. Kayla admires and strives for the sort of writing that these women embraced, the kind that is unapologetically honest about womanhood while also being free from the pressure to remain "polite" or "ladylike". Though Kayla is a teenage girl and aims to write on behalf of them, a variety of listeners will connect with her lyrics and get hooked on her catchy melodies in a way that will make bad high school boyfriends seem universal. Kayla is super excited to share her debut single, "See Through" , set to release on October 6th. Here's what she had to say about it: "I wrote 'See Through' about a relationship that ended right before we both went to college. It delves into that confusing feeling you experience when trying to move on from a person, where one moment it feels like you’ve fully healed and the next it feels like you’ve taken 10 steps backwards. At the time that I wrote the song, I was kept incredibly busy by the adjustment period that is starting college, and felt as if I’d healed from the breakup. The truth was, I had never really processed my heartbreak- and the healing I thought I'd felt was just the relief of being distracted. Writing 'See Through ' was the first time I admitted to myself that I wasn’t as put together as I hoped to be. The result was a cathartic confession, and some of my most stark and relatable writing. Though I’ve come a long way in my healing since I wrote this song, I’m still really proud of what I was able to articulate then and hope the vulnerability I tapped into consoles listeners like it did for me".…
Vessna is super excited to share the first single off this forthcoming record, "BUTTER", (+ the accompanying visualizer) set to release This Friday, September 29th! With mesmerizing vocal harmonies, shimmering 90’s to early 2000’s synths, and an 80’s club backbeat, 'BUTTER' drops you right into the feeling of swooning when you see your crush under the disco ball at the roller rink. Overtaken with feeling, you can’t help but brave your skates and make your way over to them, hoping you become 'smooth like butter.' "This song is inspired by a desire to feel playful, fun, sexy, and confident while navigating being a caregiver during the pandemic. I wrote 'BUTTER' inspired by Adult Skate Night (unofficially known as Black Skate Night at rinks throughout the U.S.) as a dreamscape of the freedom found on the rink" Vessna says. Together with her collaborator Lee Clarke, Scheff builds an electrifying current glistening with the anticipation and rush of pushing off the rink wall, and gliding into your confidence.…
Taking inspiration from Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and the pop princesses who soundtracked her childhood and teen years, Arden Alexa's unique sound has been developed by infusing her own quirky and youthful indie style into the upbeat anthems she knows and loves. Born and raised in San Francisco, Arden spent the after-school hours of her high school years cutting her teeth in the Bay Area music scene. Her debut single, 2021's "The Coast" was the world's first glimpse of her artistic ability. This was followed by 2022's "Day Dreams" , Arden's first full-length project: A six-song EP that truly welcomes you into her universe of raw vocals and deeply personal lyricism. Since embarking on her journey as a full-time artist in June of 2022, Arden has been focused on polishing her craft and finding her sound, while also amassing over 20 thousand social media followers in the process. With the releases of her latest songs, "Hello" and "Stupid Boy", Arden has proved her versatility and maturity as an indie artist. Arden is super excited to share her new single + music video for "Petty Bitch" , set to release on October 20th! Here's what she had to say about it: "After a dramatic friend breakup left me feeling both sad and angry, I needed an outlet to help me get over the grief of losing my childhood best friend. My solution came in the form of this song. What began as just a joke (being mean to anyone is wildly out of character for me) quickly turned into a sort of therapy for me, a way to channel my anger into something so outrageously fun that I was able to work through my feelings about the situation. So, when listeners find that being the bigger person or wallowing in their grief isn’t working, I hope they can turn on this song, scream the lyrics (either privately in their room or directly at the person), and move on!”.…
At just 17 years old, New York City native Izzy Pingrey is using music as a diary to document her coming-of-age journey in real time. She first picked up songwriting at 13 during the loneliness of pandemic lockdowns, using it as an emotional outlet. Now a high school senior preparing to release her debut EP junior , Izzy’s confessional lyrics and energetic sound provide a vulnerable lens into the revelations and relationships of adolescence. The four tracks on junior were all written and produced with her father during Izzy’s junior year of high school. The songs encapsulate the emotional whiplash of firsts that come with the teenage years. “sick of it” is about learning to stand up for herself, "narcissus" reflects on leaving behind old relationships, while "flatline" explores falling in love for the first time. “perfume” and its accompanying music video celebrate the close bonds of friendship and going out with her girls. As EARMILK raved about "flatline" , "With its irresistible hooks and Izzy's signature fervor, the track invites listeners into a world where vulnerability is celebrated and authenticity reigns supreme." Though sonically diverse, each song on junior finds a home in the evocative whirlwind the EP explores. The collection pays homage to the quintessential experiences of young adulthood. junior provides a poetic musical diary of Izzy's life so far, offering a cathartic release of emotion that will resonate with listeners navigating the common stumbles of adolescence. Izzy is beyond excited to share her debut EP junior and the music video for "perfume" that are out now! Here's what she had to say about the project: "Each song on this project represents specific events or emotions that I felt for the first time during my junior year of high school. Being 16 and 17 is (and was) an extremely pivotal time for me- I learned how to stand up for myself ( sick of it , narcissus ) I fell in love ( flatline ) and went to my first party and became even closer with some wonderful people (perfume), all for the first time. It was also in this time that I truly began to write and record music that I wanted to put out, that I wanted to give people a chance to hear and to connect with. The songs on…
Liv Hanna kicked off the summer with the fiery track, "Back To Hell." The songstress now returns to close out the fall with her new single, "Lonely." Similarly to "Back To Hell," Liv Hanna puts her unique, distinctive twist on the Pop genre. "lonely" may best be viewed as an Alt-Pop/Dark Pop record, but the song is more eclectic as it features synths, the ebb and flow of up-tempo and downtempo sounds, and has elements drawn from Electropop, Pop Rock, etc. The subject matter of "lonely" may be gleaned from the title, but the song is deeper than the title suggests. The song is about the more imperfect and seemingly perfect life. "'Lonely' takes you behind the scenes of someone's life that people think is perfect." Liv Hanna continues, "It highlights the club scene and life of a socialite who's always out on the town, but feels immense loneliness." "lonely" illustrates how many put up a facade, or use a party or an ostentatious lifestyle to hide their pain, fear, angst, etc. The song cleverly uses contrasting sounds to perfectly depict the story that Liv Hanna penned through the mix of flashy, wavy sounds and soft, somber tones. Renowned producer Jake Sonderman was enlisted by Liv Hanna to craft the infectious record. "lonely" really demonstrates the versatility that Liv Hanna possesses, and showcases her creative, introspective/extrospective songwriting and powerful, mellifluous vocals. "lonely" may be a standalone single, but it is a prelude to what's to come. Liv Hanna already has multiple releases scheduled to set off the new year. At only 20 years old, the rising sensation is just getting started. Press play and put "lonely" on repeat.…

Los Angeles, CA- With their dreamy, dark, sensual sound, Arula & Quiet Son form a duo whose music combines the qualities of urban electronica, dance, and experimental folk with an infusion of melodic pop sensibilities. Initially starting as a remote song collaboration between the two California artists & producers, the project blossomed into a fully realized LP that winds through self-discovery, reclamation, climate consciousness, and romantic vulnerability. In just over a year, Arula & Quiet Son have played shows throughout California, touring with acts like Random Rab & Desert Dwellers . The first single and title track from their debut album, "Found", premieres April 18 with a stunning video (directed by Jade Sanchez of Earth Based Media ) that explores the power and direct connection between the feminine and nature. Both artists are super excited to share their track + music video for "Found" Here's what they had to say about it: " 'Found' is a reclamation of the power that can only be harnessed from within. It is an ode to anyone who has ever felt lost, confused, or like they don’t fit in. It is a reminder that we can always be found within ourselves, and within the receptive energy of nature and earth" - Arula Quiet Son elaborates: “The production of this song is really special to me. It was such a unique challenge because when I heard the initial demo I realized the message of the song is so clear that I had to make sure the production supported Arula’s vision precisely. It was an exploration in creating and subsequently releasing tension: to build the sound around Arula’s vocals as the song's message evolves from self-doubt into complete reclamation, empowerment, and ecstasy. It was fun to let that huge bass synth take over in the last chorus; I think it really opens the song up and symbolizes the feeling of relief and blessing we can feel when we give ourselves permission to take control of our lives and destinies.” Arula continues: “Our hope is that this song reminds you that you are powerful and enough, just because you exist. May you always feel found within yourself.” Arula Instagram Quiet Son Instagram Arula Spotify Quiet Son Spotify…
Sis is a Los Angeles, CA-based artist (originally from the DMV) who began singing and dancing at the age of 7 in her grandfather's church in Alexandria, VA. Growing up in a musical family, and having been taught to play the classical piano at the age of 8 by her cousin, Dt Lamont , songwriting and performing came naturally to her. Being somewhat shy, Sis always found confidence and refuge in the comfort of poetry and songwriting and developed an inseparable relationship with music.

She first sang on studio recordings in a high school acapella group, Flint Hill Major Minors , and continued her early career as a recording artist with commissioned projects such as theme music for local radio shows and comedians, and songs for local special events.
