Son Kuma is a Hip Hop and R&B songwriter, producer, and recording artist from Inglewood, CA. As a Stanford University Alum with a B.S in Physics, his music blurs the line between emotional storytelling and intellectual rigor. He began making music in 2017, where he transformed heartbreak and drug abuse into Indica — a debut mixtape that has since amassed over 15 million streams.

His follow-up mixtape, Sativa, and performance opening for multi-platinum band Glass Animals marked his arrival as a full-fledged artist. He took a leave of absence from university to compose his debut album, Good For Life which arrived on the summer solstice of 2021.

After earning a degree in Mathematical Physics from Stanford University and surviving a near-fatal car accident, Kuma returned with What Goes Around... in 2024, a cinematic, introspective album about cycles of love and consequence.

Now he’s channeling frustration, purpose, and resilience into his next project: Keep That Energy

Surveying the wonders of cultures from across the globe, Chris Gavino, best known as Manila Killa is a well-traveled producer inspired by his cross-continental upbringing. A now decorated producer with an expansive repertoire of accolades, Manila Killa cut his musical teeth as a high schooler in The Philippines by combining self-taught Ableton lessons with a penchant for electronic music. Guided by emotion-driven soundscapes and the connective nature of melodic dance music, Manila Killa excels at synthesizing the foundations of human passion. In 2014, he formed the successful house duo Hotel Garuda and co-founded his own independent record label Moving Castle which has since housed acts like Slow Magic, AObeats, Khamsin, and many more. Since his departure from Hotel Garuda in 2018, Manila Killa refined his solo craft with his 2019 debut EP 1993 which garnered praise from media heavyweights like Billboard, Forbes, and Ones To Watch adding to a laundry list of critical acclaim joining tastemakers like Complex, Paper, and NYLON. With official remixes for Chvrches, The Knocks, Tegan and Sara, and performances at festivals like Firefly, Ultra Miami, Electric Zoo, 88rising's Head in the Clouds, and more, Manila Killa is defined in equal parts as a producer, performer, and in-demand collaborator. Dedicated to the consciousness of contemporary dance music, Manila Killa released his debut album "dusk" the summer of 2022.
