Mixed People is a funky, soul fusion band with hints of alternative rock and world music. Raw lyrics and creative vocal harmonies makes for a mixed musical experience. The name Mixed People derived from colors that bloomed out the whole funk and nothing but the funk. It embraces the love of self and others regardless of our differences and celebrates the uniqueness in us all. Mixed People was founded by guitarist, Paulette Branson, in August 2012. Paulette Branson is mostly self taught, but her guitar skills were groomed by legendary guitarist, Mike Tyler. Other band members include: Porsha Branson (vocals), Pierre Nix (percussion and vocals), Bird Williams (keytar and vocals), Terrence Jones (bass), and Harun NaJashi Abdur-Rasheed (drums). Since August 2012, the band is stamping its sound in Philly and is on the move. Mixed People recently released their EP Album, Shark Attack. The Shark Attack EP is a guitar-driven masterpiece. Not only will you find distinct funk rhythms, but you’ll find some jazzy and Latin flavors in the mix. The energy and emotion behind this band will get you dancing on your feet and singing along.

A femme-driven Philly band was born completely by accident out of the ashes of several other projects after a series of life-altering events. The members would eventually call themselves Resilient.

The array of influences within this band is so wide; it could quite possibly transcend the equatorial diameter most likely more than once.  While they refuse to allow themselves to be defined by any one style, there is an apparent affinity for grunge, punk, and prog-pop styles in their multi-layered musical arrangements.

Resilient has not just been a band. It’s been a place of truth, hidden strength, artistic euphoria, and a testament to the fact that music has ultimately propelled and empowered each member to overcome nearly anything among the spectrum of life’s challenges.
