Rahrah Gabor is a rapper & songwriter who’s summed up in a word. Unruly. She’s also an amalgam of all
the things that makes unruly rappers great: critical presence, pointed and layered lyrics, hood savvy, a
unique sense of style and an incorrigible self-possession that bucks at nay-sayers.
Gabor harkens to the golden age of hip-hop channeling Lil Kim and Jadakiss though she
isn't a revivalist. Rahrah’s work explores her youth and her day-to-day life living in America.


After self-releasing two EPs, Rahrah went on to catch the eyes and ears of outlets like
Afropunk, photographer Ryan McGinley whose latest books and exhibitions have featured her and 
artists like Buke and Gase who she’s supported at Mercury Lounge. She also played Slay
TV’s inaugural SlayFest at Brooklyn Academy of Music , the MOCADA and the DICE Festival in Berlin. 

If you ask her, she’ll admit to having first dove into hip-hop to prove a point. But Rahrah would like to become the kind of challenge an 
increasingly challenged industry

Roger Kleier is a composer, guitarist, and improviser who began playing electric guitar at age thirteen after discovering Captain Beefheart and Jimi Hendrix on the radio airwaves of Los Angeles. He studied composition at North Texas State University and the University of Southern California, and has developed a unique style that draws equally from improvisation, contemporary classical music, and the American guitar traditions of blues, jazz, and rock. Much of his compositional work involves the development of a broader vocabulary for the electric guitar through the use of extended techniques and digital sound manipulation. He has also written new works for soloists and chamber groups. Roger describes his approach to composing: “Having grown up in Los Angeles, I’ve always had an attraction to noir ambience. My music has often been inspired by the dark and hidden experiences of life, such as urban chaos, cold and icy winters, empty alleyways, deserted subway tunnels, dank Los Angeles River aqueducts, and even a quiet pool of sinister beauty”.
