Paty B – Patricia Blyde a/k/a “Paty B” was born in Miami and raised in Lecheria, Venezuela. Paty B was musically influenced by her Venezuelan-Dutch father, a jazz musician, producer, pianist, and arranger who founded and built a music academy named “Blue House”.

With her parents seeking better opportunities for her music career, she moved to Miami and upon graduating from high school she auditioned and received a scholarship to attend Berklee College of Music.
Blondshell – Blondshell is the angriest, clearest, and most vulnerable side of LA-based singer/songwriter Sabrina Teitelbaum.

Pisano also had four singles enter the iTunes Pop charts, along with radio play on the BBC and over one million views on TikTok with her single “September”.

Dylan Dunlap is back with the impressive mid tempo ballad track Bad For Me.
Dunlap says, “the reason why I care so much about family in music is because I come from a broken family myself. It means everything to me to be able to prove that you can succeed alongside your closest friends in this industry and celebrate the highs/lows together. I’ve had to learn the hard way that not everybody’s going to have my best interest at heart, but I’m grateful for any opportunity to learn how to stand up for the love & respect that I deserve.”
Dylan spent time at Berklee, busked around his native Burbank, CA and opened for OneRepublic in Provo, UT, that followed packed shows in the U.S. and the UK. He released two EP’s that garnered more 40 million+ combined Spotify streams.
