Laufey is Los Angeles-based singer, composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist whose jazz songs are about young love and self-discovery. Raised between Reykjavik and Washington, D.C. with annual visits to Beijing, the Icelandic-Chinese artist grew up playing cello as well as piano and became hooked on the jazz standards of Ella Fitzgerald after digging through her father's record collection. Typical of Me is Laufey’s debut EP including her breakout single “Street by Street”.
Atlanta Millionaires Club is in Faye Webster's feelings, and that's the way she likes it. "Everything is way personal, " Webster says. "I have to write about very personal things for me to even want to write." On the 21-year-old Atlanta native's new album, the omnipresence of pedal steel eschews bluegrass trappings, flexible under Webster's genre-bending direction. Webster didn't set out to make it sound like any artist in particular, but she cites Aaliyah as her main musical inspiration for how she uses sound. "That's where I first heard, 'Oh, there's this weird guitar that's bendy and it could totally be in a country song, ' but the way she's using it is what makes her music so special to me, " Webster explains. "I try to do that. I try to change the way pedal steel is supposed to sound, or keys, to make it more R&B." Pulling from a familial lineage of folk storytelling and time spent in Atlanta's hip-hop scene, Webster's work is a study of duality, weaving through her own introversion and heartbreak; it's an idiosyncratic sadness punctuated by fleeting observations and an unexpected, sly sense of humor. And like the way Webster takes the traditional instrumentation of Americana and flips it into something else, she uses her own calm, laid-back demeanor to say you can be boldly and unapologetically yourself in a quiet way, too.

Taking inspiration from everything from hip-hop to pop and punk to metal, Point North are delivering a unique take on alternative rock that is unfortunately rarely seen in the genre. Brand New Vision, the band's debut album, is a concept album following the lead character "Drax", a robot trying to navigate through everyday human experiences and emotions and features guest appearances by Sleeping With Sirens front man Kellin Quinn and up and coming LA artist De'Wayne. Point North is led by front man Jon Lundin, who also records, produces and engineers out of his Los Angeles based studio, and has credits on songs and albums from artists 5 Seconds of Summer, Good Charlotte, Sleeping With Sirens, The Faim, and more. Point North are also very involved in philanthropic activities. With Jon being able to record the album himself, the band took $10,000 from the album's recording budget and offered to match donations up to that amount to No Kid Hungry, a non-profit fighting child hunger. So far they have raised over $9,000 and plan on continuing to promote this throughout the album cycle.
