Clarity Eley
Clarity’s music is described as dream-like to the ears it reaches. Her voice, textured with colorful layers and an eclectic yet delicate quality – utilizing timeless progressions, trance like harmonies, and introspective lyrics that uncover stories of love, betrayal, heartbreak, and reflection. Clarity finds herself putting words to intangible moments, connecting listeners to the expression of raw emotion with grace.

Te’Jani
Self-taught recording artist, Te’Jani, has been rising throughout the Carolinas scene over the last couple years. With guitar being his first love, he has been quoted saying he “makes music for black kids who loved Guitar Hero 3” as that is what inspired him to buy his own electric guitar at 11 years old. Following his debut album GIMP in 2022, Te’Jani recently released, On Prozac, a 5-song EP capturing the emotional turbulence of a failing relationship.

Juan Wauters
There’s freedom to be found in consistency. Until recently, Juan Wauters may not have agreed with this statement. As a touring musician and multinational citizen, transience had always come naturally to him. Circumstance, however, recently prompted him to reconsider the benefits of staying in one place: “During COVID I discovered / that I like stability,” he muses on the title track of his new album, “but the world still sees me / as a wandering rebel.” His most introspective work to date, Wauters’ sixth solo album Wandering Rebel finds the artist taking stock of how he’s changed, how the world sees him, and what he wants out of life.
From his early days as a founding member of Queens-based garage act The Beets to his impressive solo career, Wauters has spent the better part of the last decade on the road. When he wasn’t touring or recording, he was gathering material, traversing Latin America to write his 2019 Spanish-language opus La Onda de Juan Pablo, then heading North to collaborate with friends like Mac DeMarco, Homeshake, Nick Hakim and more for 2021’s boisterous Real Life Situations. Apart from intermissions in his home base of Jackson Heights, Queens, Wauters has been notoriously hard to pin down.

Jesus Is The Path To Heaven
“Hoban has described the jesus is the path to heaven project as one exploring the ‘effect religious trauma has on the human body,’ though it stands apart in how it does this with such a direct engagement with Christian themes. Suffering as the central tenet of existence. Agony and love as the same thing.”

Layzi
Meet Layzi, the 24-year-old Boston-based artist and trailblazer in the DIY scene. Since 2020, Carissa Myre, the creative force behind Layzi, has emerged as a trailblazer, fearlessly producing her own tracks and challenging industry norms, where only 19% of producers are women. With her single “Nothing Ever Feels Right” surpassing 1 million streams, Layzi’s dreamy and laid-back bedroom-pop aesthetic has captivated a global audience. From immersive live performances that landed openings slots for renowned acts such as HUNNY and platinum-selling artist SNØW, Layzi is poised to debut her sophomore EP on Born Losers Records, solidifying her position as a formidable presence in the underground pop scene.

Natalie Carr
There’s a frayed vulnerability to the voice and lyrics of emerging Charlotte-based pop singer-songwriter, Natalie Carr. She has a susceptibility that draws you in, and the type of unpredictability that makes you wonder what will happen next. Carr’s sound is a style of sultry contemporary R&B and synth-pop that literally spawned from the bedroom.
