ABOUT BABY TATE
Fueled by self-love and manifested dreams, Baby Tate is forever
evolving. The Atlanta-based artist, formerly known as Yung Baby Tate,
has a new, concise moniker, but the 25-year-old’s sound remains
sprawling. Within a single body of work, you’ll hear summery pop,
amorous R&B, and hard-hitting hip-hop. Baby Tate’s debut project,
2015’s ROYGBIV, saw her exercising full creative control, as a singer,
songwriter, rapper, producer, and engineer—independent skills she’s been
honing since she was 13 years old. By 2018, Baby Tate had locked into
executing concept albums, releasing the thematic BOYS EP, followed by
her breakthrough project, GIRLS, in 2019. With both collections, Baby
Tate expanded her musicality and songwriting processes, connecting
strongly to women and femme audiences through kaleidoscopic beats and
highly relatable lyrics. At the center of Baby Tate’s endeavors is an
intentional interweaving of female empowerment and joy, as evidenced by
her cohesive, yet varied 2020 EP After the Rain, the home of her viral,
confidence-boosting hit “I Am.” A genuine heroine for any person who’s
ever faced intrapersonal challenges, the multi-hyphenate artist offers
both gentle and assertive reminders that all we need is faith,
fortitude, and fearlessness. With each release, Baby Tate provides her
fans with potent anthems and inspiring bars, unveiling new facets of her
technicolor character in the process.
ABOUT CATIE TURNER
You don’t ever have to worry about what Catie Turner is thinking. She’ll
tell you within seconds. Besides being a singer and songwriter, she
prides herself as “an overly emotional and anxious attachment-style
musician with a lot of over-sharing to do." However, that over-sharing
continues to click with listeners. The Langhorne, Pennsylvania native
went from placing 7th on ”American Idol” in 2018 to releasing “teenage
crisis” anthems such as “Prom Queen” and “i luv him.” in 2019. Beyond
piling up over 120 million streams, she’s reeled in critical acclaim
from TIME, Billboard, American Songwriter, People, and more. She took all of her heartbreak from a breakup and turned it into the bops, ballads and confessions on her 2021 EP, Heartbroken and Milking It,
introduced by the single “Therapy.” She describes her ex’s response to
these bops as “not appreciative.” Most recently, Catie has been touring
the US with the likes of Valley and LEON and releasing music like
high-energy bop “Nothing,” emotionally charged “God Must Hate Me” and
the quirky and playful “Step Mom.” With new music on the way, she just
hopes you think she’s pretty cool, because she doesn’t have a plan B.
ABOUT CHASE ATLANTIC
Representing the missing link between anesthetized woozy trap, nocturnal
R&B, and psychedelically spun alternative, Chase Atlantic blur
boundaries between genres through fearless experimentation and innate
melodic inclinations. The band has amassed over 2.8 billion Spotify
streams, and has received acclaim from Billboard, OnesToWatch, mxdwn, PopCrush, Alternative Press, Substream Magazine, and Rock Sound of
which they graced the cover. The Australia-born and Los Angeles-based
trio — Mitchel Cave, Clinton Cave and Christian Anthony — boldly push
forward on their prolific creative journey while signed to Fearless
Records. The band unleashed a string of Eps — Dalliance (2014), Nostalgia (2015), and Paradise (2017) — before their self-titled full-length debut, Chase Atlantic.
They put up serious numbers on the likes of “Friends” (400 million
Spotify streams), “Swim” (406 million Spotify streams), “Into It” (276
million Spotify streams), and “Okay” (91 million Spotify streams) to
name a few. In 2019, their sophomore album, PHASES, attracted
widespread praise. OnesToWatch predicted, “while we would say the sky is
the limit for Chase Atlantic with a showing this strong, chances are
they would just break out of the stratosphere in the year to come.” More
recently, their single “OHMAMI” hit an impressive 96 million streams in
only 6 months. Along the way, they canvased multiple continents,
headlined across the U.S., U.K., and Europe, and sold out venues such as
Webster Hall in New York, Kentish Town Forum in the U.K., and The
YouTube Space in Los Angeles in addition to gracing the stages of
Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Reading and Leeds.
ABOUT DREBAE
Hailing from the Bay Area, California rapper DreBae emerged as one of
the most viral sensations in 2018 with a slew of homerun singles. His
first feature release Baby Boy put everyone on notice, quickly.
Combining his astonishing sense of wit, polished punches, and natural
charisma to ride a beat, DreBae introduced himself to the world with a
ferocious heart towards the premiere of his first single Elegant, and
cross audience single No Pressure with Megan thee Stallion. His jubilant
& juggernaut social media presence has connected with many of
today's hottest artists such as Megan thee Stallion, City Girls, and
Nicki Minaj. Kehlani invited DreBae during her main stage time of San
Francisco Pride 2018 where Dre performed his hit lead single Elegant to
the tune of 50,000 spectators in his hometown. Being a positive role
model by exuding confidence, self-care practices, and hardworking
dedication has allowed DreBae to continue to have an influence over his
young audience. DreBae prides himself on being true and free-spirited
through his work and activism through the LGBT community.
ABOUT JASON MILLS (IDK)
Short for Ignorantly Delivering Knowledge, IDK is as
much a moniker as it is a mission. The Prince George’s County, Maryland,
artist has long dedicated his life and art to presenting big ideas in
accessible ways. Using witty lyricism, percussive flows, and a
chameleonic musicality, IDK turns life lessons and
philosophical musings into utter bangers. In the process, he’s become
one of rap’s most inventive practitioners. His new album, USEE4YOURSELF,
is his richest work yet, a sprawling meditation on love, materialism,
masculinity, and the effects of a troubled upbringing. Loaded with
unpredictable features and recollections from childhood, it’s a
character study framed in fierce beats and blockbuster productions. It’s
also a culmination for the man born Jason Mills, who began his musical
journey behind bars about a decade ago. Through albums like Subtrap (2015), IWASVERYBAD (2017), and Is He Real? (2019) IDK built
a proper body of work. And he uses that foundation as a jump-off point
for not just music, but action that enriches the world: his inquisitive Radio Clue Apple
Music radio show; No Label Academy, his music biz course in
collaboration with Nike and Harvard University; and his Clue Records,
which in 2020 released IDK & FRIENDS 2, a soundtrack for Kevin Durant’s Basketball County: In the Water documentary full of DMV-area artists. In 2021 he dropped confessional and guest-laden album USEE4YOURSELF,
which featured Young Thug, Offset, Swae Lee, the late great DMX, and
more. The critically acclaimed offering received praise from NPR, Billboard, Office, i-D, NME to name a few. His most recent project Simple. with Kaytranada finds both artists in peak form, pushing each other to new limits.
ABOUT JUSTIN TRANTER
Justin Tranter is one of the most in-demand songwriters in music today,
an ACLU Bill of Rights Award-winning activist, and founder of Facet
Records & Facet Publishing. With over 50 million single sales, 50
billion streams on Spotify and YouTube alone, multiple diamond-certified
songs, and dozens of honors including GRAMMY and Golden Globes®
nominations, 15 total BMI Pop Awards and two consecutive “Songwriter of
the Year'' titles at the BMI Pop Awards, Tranter has lent their talents
to several of the most iconic songs and albums in recent memory,
including Imagine Dragons and JID’s No. 1 single “Enemy” featured in the
acclaimed Netflix series “Arcane: League of Legends,”
Måneskin’s chart-ascending new single “Supermodel”, Ariana Grande’s Thank U, Next (2019), Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia (2020), Lady Gaga’s Chromatica (2020), the Chicks’ Gaslighter (2020), and Selena Gomez’s Rare (2020), as well as Justin Bieber’s Purpose
(2015). Tranter’s unparalleled creative fingerprint can be felt across
music, film, TV, and theater, as they have written regularly with some
of the biggest names in music including Miley Cyrus, Sam Smith, Kim
Petras, the Jonas Brothers, Leon Bridges, Janelle Monáe, Cardi B, King
Princess, and more. They co-created the heralded musical “Wild” with
Idina Menzel, directed by Diane Paulus, written by V (formerly Eve
Ensler). Tranter has several major film and TV projects freshly released
and in development including executive producing and writing more than
30 original songs for the highly anticipated forthcoming Grease prequel
series “Rise of The Pink Ladies” that will be arriving on Paramount+ in
April 2023. In addition to co-writing several original songs for
Netflix’s runaway summer hit Purple Hearts, they also served as executive music producer for Billy Porter’s brand-new directorial debut Anything’s Possible, and served as the executive producer for the soundtrack to Happiest Season,
Hulu’s record-breaking holiday film. Tranter’s songwriting career thus
far spans generational songs ranging from the diamond-certified smash
“Sorry” (Justin Bieber) and “Believer” (Imagine Dragons), to Selena Gomez’s
“Good For You” [feat. A$AP Rocky], Halsey’s “Bad At Love,” Fall Out
Boy’s “Centuries,” DNCE’S “Cake by the Ocean,” and Maroon 5’s “Cold,” to
name just a few.
ABOUT MAJOR.
His name is MAJOR., and his impact the same. The American soul singer's
star fiercely struck at the debut of the now platinum hit love song,
"Why I Love You." As Stevie Wonder projected, lovers from all over the
world have commissioned the breakout ballad as the perfect soundtrack
for their own love stories. MAJOR. is a powerful storyteller on stage
and screen who leans into authenticity as his superpower. Amazingly, he
has become a trusted artist for many while inspiring hearts with his
relatable message of life laced in that signature falsetto. His joy is
infectious and as a "Hope Dealer," he leads unapologetically with the
very HOPE in LOVE his music professes. With half a billion digital
streams, four independent solo projects, network TV shows, movies,
legendary cosigns, national tours, and The MAJOR.HOPE Foundation –
MAJOR. is far from done. His powerful reimagining of the classic “Whole
World In His Hands” and the newly released love anthem “Baby Will You
Love Me” are proof… the GRAMMY-, two-time Soul Train-, and eight-time
NAACP Image Award-nominated entertainer promises so much more to come.
And it can only be as mighty as the name his mama gave him: MAJOR.
ABOUT MARQ HAWKINS (DJ CLI-N-TEL)
Marq Hawkins (DJ Cli-N-Tel) has more than 30 years of experience in the
entertainment business as a musician, director, writer, and educator. He
received his undergraduate degree in African and ethnic studies from
California State University, Fullerton in Fullerton, California; a
graduate degree in education from the University of Phoenix in Phoenix,
Arizona; and is currently a student at Northcentral University in La
Jolla, California. He has lectured on entertainment and hip-hop culture
at USC, Cal State, Northridge, Monroe College, Southwest College, and
Santa Monica College.
ABOUT MOORE KISMET
At the helm of the next generation of emerging electronic music artists,
Moore Kismet is in a class of their own. Born Omar Davis in Southern
California, the non-binary and pansexual 17-year-old musical prodigy has
become an advocate for LGBTQ+ teens and represents the beauty of what
it means to be who you are. Moore Kismet has been included on
Billboard’s 21 Under 21 annual list two years in a row (2020, 2021) and
become the youngest artist to perform at Lollapalooza and EDC Las Vegas
in 2021 — Moore Kismet demonstrates how to be unlike anyone else by
being unapologetically yourself. Omar Davis grew up in the outskirts of
Los Angeles and started showing off their precocity from a very early
age. At just 7 years old, Omar began their musical journey by taking the
family laptop and downloading Fruity Loops. Through years of YouTube
tutorials and self-taught practice, Moore Kismet developed a production
style that, in addition to their youth, has set them apart from other
electronic music artists. Always ahead of people their own age, Omar
contacted the prestigious Full Sail University at only 6 years old to
enquire about enrollment. The alias Moore Kismet, meaning “more than
fate,” is a representation of Omar that expresses their creative self,
one that sees Omar excel as a multimedia creator, with a focus that also
includes visual arts and graphic design. As a musician, Moore Kismet was
just 14 years old when they captured the hearts and minds of electronic
music enthusiasts, and by the age of 15, Omar began to play their first
DJ gigs, beginning with their debut DJ set at Florida’s Asteria Arts
& Music Festival. Moore Kismet has performed in some of the world’s
most iconic venues and festivals, including Colorado’s Red Rocks
Amphitheater, EDC Las Vegas, and Lollapalooza, and toured as a
supporting act for top names in the genre like Illenium and Alison
Wonderland. In January of 2022, Moore Kismet released their single
co-written with Tate McRae, “Parallel Heartbreak,” featuring vocals by
Pauline Herr. The single will be part of Moore Kismet’s debut album,
UNIVERSE, due this June and will feature a handful of collaborations
with notable artists. Along with an arsenal of upcoming music, the new
year will see Moore Kismet expand their worldwide presence with a
European tour, including performances at Lollapalooza Paris.
ABOUT NLE CHOPPA
Despite being just 20 years old, NLE Choppa, one of the most electric
rappers of his generation, has worked hard to become a pillar of his
community. So while there are plenty of numbers that could quantify his
success—his 13 RIAA-certified plaques and more than 5 billion global
streams—it’s possible he prefers another one: 26 million. That’s how
many words the kids at one Memphis elementary school read this year as
part of his Needs Learning Everyday challenge. Raised on the city’s East
side, Choppa broke through in 2019 with the Platinum-certified “Shotta
Flow,” a muscular blend of menace and sheer personality that became his
trademark. Since then, he’s garnered acclaim from the New York Times, Forbes, GQ, and Billboard, among other outlets, including XXL,
which put him on its 2020 Freshman list. Choppa’s is a unique cocktail
of cutting-edge street rap with a pop sensibility, and he drops music at
a breakneck pace. But this hardly means he’s stuck on the same ideas.
As he’s continued to serve Memphis (see his This Can’t Be Vegan food
company), his music dives into his past and psyche, growing more poised
and thoughtful seemingly by the month. His latest project, Me Vs. Me,
is his most richly detailed yet, tracing the tragic and triumphant arcs
he’s seen around him from 21st-century Memphis back to Biblical times.
While his serrated style might seem at odds with his open-heartedness
off the mic, they are simply different embodiments of the same drive and
lust for life.
ABOUT RENFORSHORT
Casting an alternative haze over pop, renforshort
conjures emotionally charged anthems punctuated by her intimate delivery
and unfiltered lyricism. Born and raised in Toronto, she initially
gravitated towards influences as diverse as Nirvana and Amy Winehouse,
learning how to sing and write songs. During high school, the
20-year-old artist quietly honed her craft with countless performances
in local bars in between dropping original tunes online. Her 2020 debut
EP, teenage angst, lived up to its title as it bottled
coming-of-age confusion and catharsis into chantable anthems with no
shortage of punk spirit. The single “fuck, i luv my friends” reacted
with over 15 million Spotify streams, paving the way for her off saint dominique
EP in 2021. Along the way, iconic Linkin Park co-founder and
co-vocalist Mike Shinoda jumped at the chance to collaborate, while
YUNGBLUD, Avril Lavigne, MGK and others invited her to share the stage
with them. She ignited 2022 with the single “moshpit” as it arrived to widespread acclaim from Billboard, Teen Vogue, OnesToWatch, NME, and more as EUPHORIA.
proclaimed, “the songstress is reinventing traditional pop music as we know it.” Her debut album dear amelia arrived in the summer of 2022 and sees renforshort join forces with her longtime collaborator Jeff Hazin as well as producers/co-writers like David Pramik, Alexander 23, Andy Seltzer, John Ryan, Tia Scola, Nick Long and Y2K,
narrating an up-close and thrillingly honest journey through the
darkest parts of her psyche. Tackling raw accounts of depression and
disassociation, anxiety and self-erasure renforshort crystallized the concept for her full-length debut after creating its spellbinding final track, a vocoder-enhanced epic called “amelia.”
