Florecienta
Valentina (Florecienta) Calderon was born in Colombia, South America and immigrated to Charlotte, North Carolina at the age of 5. Her early exposure to salsa music and pop stars like Shakira sparked an interest in music and performance. In high school, she continued to nurture this interest by writing music independently, singing in choirs, and making music with her friends. At 20, Florecienta acquired her first drum machine, which began her journey into music production. Today, her sound is a dynamic fusion of electronic pop, Latin rhythms, and R&B-inspired vocals.

Jameilyara
Jameilyara writes songs for those thoughts that feel too weird to talk about. After developing her pop sound in the Queen City as a teenager, she adopted strong jazz and r&b influences during her time in the High Country as the front woman for the Neo-Soul group, Terrabang. Now spreading her wings as a solo musician, Jameilyara brings forth playful imagery and catchy choruses that could be compared to the stylings of Little Dragon and Japanese Breakfast.

Swansgate
Formed in small town in North Carolina by 3 close friends, Swansgate was originally set up in the likeness of a jazz trio. The musical direction of Stu Draughn manifested as a series of long, mostly instrumental, compositions for keys (Stu Draughn), drums (Michael McKinney), and bass (Gabe McKinney). Over time, the original direction of the band evolved into a more symphonic approach to making music. With more and more elements being added to each composition, Swansgate decided to enlist drummer Mike Kaloudis to replace Michael McKinney, so that he could commit to playing guitar, and keyboards.

Dhemo
Dhemo (pronounced “demo”) is a Richmond VA based artist who’s sound drifts between dream-like indie ballads to upbeat funk influenced bops. It’s an indie rock project that expands seamlessly through jazz and psychedelic sounds. Overtop a tightly dynamic live band, the music connects with listeners through both emotional vocal melodies and vulnerable lyricism.

Tecoby Hines
The most exciting new wave of gifted MCs is from Charlotte, and riding the crest is Tecoby, With his most recent EP, 2023 “Soul Sip”. Hines solidified his place as one of his cities most insightful and articulate rappers, a lyrical acrobat as assertive as he is pensive, as introspective as he is socially conscious.
