“Hey my name is Keyeo! I was born in Ensenada, Mexico and raised in Miami, Florida. A city where everyone dances without shame, sings with no worries and smiles all day. Since I moved a lot as a kid, I always felt like an outcast at school. Counting the days till we’d move again. Music was my escape.

Artists like Marvin Gaye, Hector Lavoe, Michael Jackson, Drake, and Bad Bunny have shaped the sound I have today.”

“I’m from Half Moon Bay, California. My inspirations are Frank Ocean, Kanye West, Kendrick Lamar, and SZA.

I move with my heart and put that same energy into my art. My intention with my paintings comes from an energy that’s bigger than me. We’re put here to love. Do what you love while you’re at it. We’re only here for a blip of time. #webbtelescope.”

“Hey! My name is nimah and I’m a musician from Vallejo, CA. Music was so prominent in my childhood that I just fell in love with it. It’s the only thing that I wanna do.

A lot the inspiration for my music stems from Jazz, Neo Soul, and RnB artists. Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, and D’angelo are some of THE artists that shape my sound.”
