Watch out for Azra’s new uptempo rocker, “If It Wasn’t for You,” reminiscent of early 2000s Avril Lavigne’s skater rock.

AZRA immigrated to San Jose, CA, at nine and faced the challenges of rediscovering herself after this life-altering change. Before pursuing music, she attended Boston University and had a career as a corporate business executive consultant, which she eventually left to follow her passion for music. At 19, she was diagnosed with glaucoma and temporarily lost sight in her right eye, which led her to create the Substance Pop genre, aiming to empower others to pursue their dreams despite hardships. In 2017, AZRA released her first EP, Freedom, and toured with the Plain White T’s. She achieved chart success with her singles “Dimension” and “Dangerous.” In 2023, she released “ALL OUT,” which gained traction on KROQ’s “Locals Only” show and was featured in Korea Daily. She followed with “i wish you would cry” and “Bring Me The Crown,” the latter earning a licensing deal with Five Guys. In July 2023, AZRA released her EP, The Chronicles of Substance Pop: The Rebellion, celebrated with a performance at Hotel Cafe and her first West Coast headlining tour. Her music videos and features in outlets like Medium and Authority Magazine have contributed to her growing recognition and fan base, the Azradeities.

Look out for Peyton Shay’s “Dashboard Lights” and its music video—an ideal track for anyone looking for something fresh beyond Taylor Swift. The video captures a late-night car ride through empty streets, setting the tone for Shay’s vocals as she reflects on a relationship gone wrong. “I randomly wrote the beginning of ‘Dashboard Lights’ in my room, alone, on my piano,” Shay shares. “It’s like speeding through red lights, ignoring warning signs, and realizing too late that I was driving us into trouble.”

Shay, from a small town outside Los Angeles, began songwriting in middle school after recording her first breakup song. “I don’t come from a musical background,” she says, but she found inspiration in artists like Blondie and Paramore. Her new Daydream Police EP captures the rawness of her early music with a deeper sense of self. “Writing this EP brought me back to my 12-year-old self,” Shay says. “It’s honest, daring, and just me.”
