Anthony Russo, in a little more than two years, has gone from unknown college student to young Pop prodigy boasting 20+ million streams on Spotify, a sold out tour supporting G-Eazy, and another sold out tour supporting Chelsea Cutler.  He's also performed festival sets at Sunfest & Life is Beautiful in the past year. Russo has made a name for himself both domestically & overseas.  In the last year, he has written for some of the most prolific K-Pop groups in Asia, including “Love Shot” by EXO, and recently, he penned every record on CIX’s latest EP, “Hello, Stranger”.   

Russo can be recognized by his electric falsetto, and often R&B influenced productions.  Russo’s most recent single ”Say I Won’t” has accumulated more than half a million streams in just 6 weeks following its release.  Russo will be releasing his debut EP, “Dear You” on November 7th.

Justin Blau, AKA 3LAU, is a rarity in the music industry: A successful recording artist, DJ, and producer whose main goal is not fame, but helping others. Raised in New York and Las Vegas by parents who emphasized the importance of charitable work, Blau left college, where he studied finance, and the promise of a career in business to pursue his dream of making music. He went on to release a string of well-received original tracks, including “How You Love Me,” “Is It Love,” “Fire,” “On My Mind,” “Hot Water,” and "Star Crossed," as well as remixes for Rihanna, Katy Perry, Shawn Mendes, and Ariana Grande — all of which have racked up millions of streams. But unwilling to take and not give back, Blau has used his business savvy to parlay his success into doing good. In 2016 Blau launched Blume Records, an independent label with a ground-breaking model that harnesses the power of streaming to raise money for charitable causes. Earlier this year 3LAU released his debut album Ultraviolet featuring hit single "Touch," both reached #1 on the iTunes Electronic chart and all profits will be donated to F Cancer. Outside of the studio 3LAU has also built his reputation as a must see live performer, appearing at such major festivals as Electric Zoo, EDC Vegas, Lollapalooza, and Life Is Beautiful and tours extensively internationally.
