Barefoot Chandy -
Emerging Boston artist, Barefoot Chandy, found his way into songwriting and musicianship as a way to process trauma, mental health and the world around him. His artistic journey began as a street busker in Philadelphia, where he collaborated with organizations to provide access to music education to communities where music had been removed from the curriculum. He has performed in world renowned venues including World Cafe Live, The Apollo, and was featured on Dreamnation tv's Acapella Series. Chandy moved to Boston three years ago, where he works as a music teacher, and more recently, has also begun working on his debut album “Resilient Child”.

Ava Sophia -
Laid-back R&B feels and emotionally-driven honest lyrics are what define Boston-based singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, educator, and community organizer, Ava Sophia. In October 2019, Ava released her debut EP, “To See and Hear Hxrself”, a project dedicated to exploring the relationship between femininity and vulnerability, and empowering women/femmes of color to feel and express our emotions to the fullest extent. She was most recently nominated for “R&B Artist of the Year” at the 2020 Boston Music Awards.
Ava’s skills intersect at the heart of her mission to use music as a tool to elevate underrepresented voices and in doing so, create a more equitable world.

The Vulture -
A gene therapy scientist who was part of the team that cured Sickle Cell Disease, owns the patent to produce anti-cancer protein and was chosen as a 30 under 30 scholar by Forbes, plays an alter-ego by night called The Vulture. From his faceless aesthetic to his style of music, nothing he plays sounds like what you've heard before; straight from the alleys of third world horror, original, dark and dirty hip hop fused rock 'n roll. As a self proclaimed future Grammy award winner, the Vulture's objective is to take over the streets of Boston before arenas and concert halls.
