Combine country storytelling with R&B grooves over over pop melodies and you have Valentine James. James was born and raised in Nashville, TN where she quickly discovered her passion for music and helping others. After spending four years in Boston working with musical mentors and attending college, James returned back to her "favorite hometown" in July of 2015 to pursue her lifelong dream of making music that others will want to move to and be moved by.

Alec Gaston is a Brooklyn-Based singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer originally from Perrysburg, Ohio. Former front man of rockband Chameleon Culture,  Gaston's self-described style is "Pyschadelic Dream-Wave." Intricate guitars, lush textures and soaring vocals remniscent of Jeff Buckley & Robert Plant carry Gaston's poetic and often pyschological lyrics with infinite soul. 

Gaston's 17-Track Debut LP "Inside The Outside, The Inbetween" was recorded in November of 2017 in just three days at Brewery Studio (BK) with long time friend, engineer & co-producer Bryan Dimaio. Dimaio works as a full time engineer to Terrace Martin and has been credited this past year on recordings with Incubus, Mastadon, Nickleback & Kamasi Washington. The album is set to be released on all platforms October 10th, 2018. 

Gaston is currently performing live in NY with his trio alongside Nathan Ellman-Bell & Matt Schumacher.

I enjoy writing my own songs as well as producing for myself and friends. If you need help on anything, or if you think I need help on anything, just talk to me.

"Matayo is the moniker of New Jersey beatmaker Matt Collura. This 22-year-old talent thrives off of chopping dusty old records and tapes, but with his extensive background in audio engineering, he sculpts the dirtiest loop into a clean groove - "golden age" hip-hop production techniques, but with an end product much more crisp and hypnotic."

"New Jersey native m a t a y o transforms jazz harmonies and hard-hitting percussion into an abstract universe of experimental hip-hop. The Berklee grad loops old-school rap and sultry R&B over slow-burning beats, adding in a variety of random clips and quotes for an ultra burn-out feel."
