Ivy Roots’ serene and soulful eclectic sounds are influenced by 90s Rnb, crafted, and evolved by indie soul inspirations. This jazzy pop artist recreates herself consistently as a classic and unique illumination in up and coming music. The acoustic guitar strumming soulstress is an Austin transplant from Kansas City.
Ivy recently released her 3rd musical project “Love Art Growth 2” and has been featured on A&R Factory as “stripped back soul”.  Ivy Roots was featured along with the dungeon family in Compose Yourself Magazine’s “2019 SXSW Highlights” ;
"...Serving up warm, buttery melodies on her guitar, Ivy’s vocal range was seriously impressive – from smoky and pensive to deep and soul-tingling, Ivy Roots has a uniquely soulful yet rock n roll influenced sound that caught me off guard. Though I’d only caught 30 minutes of her set, it felt like time had stopped inside of Shangri-La. I was captivated by her sound, and I know without a doubt that I wasn’t the only one who became a fan that day.”
Ivy’s love for music began in church & school. Coming from Kansas City, Ivy Roots grew a love for live music in the 18th & Vine jazz district, which is the origin of many notable artists and musicians.
“I was studying audio engineering at Kansas City Kansas Community College, while touring in a 5 piece reggae band. I sang in a vocal jazz group and had the opportunity to perform at the Lincoln center of performing arts jazz festival in NY. At that point I was inspired to pursue music as a career.  That summer I traveled to LA to perform and model for Coca-Cola during the B.E.T. awards weekend. I was collaborating with so many amazing artists in LA I was inspired to release my 1st album “Bad Intuition” and Ivy Roots was born.”
Ivy Roots Band recently shared some festivals with Fitz and the Tantrums and Young and the Giant. When interviewed by Volcom (Red) as a Fem portrait during SXSW on what inspired her, Ivy Roots answered; 
“Your words and your music can shine through and empower people to be authentic. That’s what I’m inspired by, people who allow themselves to pour their heart out behind a mic. They’re not afraid. It inspires other people to be true to themselves. 
My expression is a reflection of my perception of this world. As a human, I’ve always wanted to feel understood. As an artist, I am a mirror. I hope my lens can inspire someone to better understand themselves.
I write, record and perform songs based on real life experience. Some of my recent work includes singing bowls and frequencies that promote inner healing inspire dialogues on mental health.
 Ivy Roots on sharing stories to take her audience on a journey; "love, art, growth, and inspiration are so contagious. It just takes me being inspired, to make you feel inspired, and we can constantly inspire each other.”

Megaciph is a socially conscious writer using his music to address social issues, advance progressive thinking and heal himself. A veteran, a husband, a father, a home chef and a voice for the voiceless Megaciph carries the banner of peace throughout his work and life. Through his music selections and the writings we are transported to a place of deep feeling thereby allowing the process of healing to begin.
In 2006 he self published his first solo album, The Graduate Program. In 2008 Megaciph enrolled at The New School University to begin post graduate studies in Nonprofit Management. Three years later in 2011, he self published his sophomore solo album, Migration of the Soul’d Kind and completed his M.S. Nonprofit Management with a focus on Arts and Culture.

From November 2010 until March 2013 Megaciph founded and hosted The Vital Movement in Manhattan's Lower East Side; a weekly open mic/concert event that provides independent artists with a viable community for sharing their art. As an independent artist and promoter Megaciph put together hundreds of shows, gave thousands of artists a stage, and brought in talent from as far north as Toronto and as far south as Zimbabwe. At the same time he was working full time at the Harlem Children’s Zone as a teaching artist; teaching NYC youth to write poetry, rap music and the finer points of performance. Megaciph holds a BS in Composition and Rhetoric, with a minor in Music Management, 2006, from Georgia State University and a Master’s in nonprofit management, 2010, from The New School University. 
​
In 2014 Megaciph published CIVILiAM; an album inspired by his four years of service in the USMC. The album is filled with true stories and anecdotes from his tours in Okinawa, Cuba and service here in the states. With plans for the next few albums already brewing for an ever growing body of work Megaciph has stayed a consistent force in the Hip-Hop universe; releasing his first mixtape in 2015 The Now and Later Mixtape vol. 1 quickly followed by the 14 track collaboration with producer James Data titled CodeSwitching which landed Megaciph a coveted distribution deal on the AWAL record label, and the journey into sound continues. Through the pandemic Megaciph pens and publishes multiple singles and two more albums between 2018 and 2022 tackling the issues of the time from the Black Lives Matter uprising on the single BLM: America In Style, the COVID19 pandemic and numerous other social issues on the Steve Wallace produced album Dirty South Chronicles, and of course the attempted coup of 2020 on the album CHAKRAS 2.0. 
Stepping into 2024 Megaciph is poised for an industry takeover as the popular wave shifts back to the positive/uplifting music this artist is known for. His forthcoming release FREAKWHENSEE crosses generations and bends genres delivering messages of daily life, fatherhood and the big stage dreams of an independent rap artist who won’t stop, don’t stop! #hiphoppapoppa
