Sam Lachow is a producer, songwriter, rapper, videographer, director, and editor of video and music. Raised in both Seattle and New York City he's been making videos since elementary school, and as a seventh-grader began a group called Shankbone. Sam began directing and producing music videos with Shankbone, and went on to create videos for various other artists.

In 2011 Sam released his debut project as a solo artist, "Brand New Bike". Produced entirely by Sam, the album utilized many live instruments from musicians based in Seattle and New York. The next year Sam released 2 EP's, and produced/directed dozens of music videos from the projects on his YouTube channel, which now has over 7 million views.

After successfully raising 20K on Kickstarter in 2014, Sam’s second full length album Huckleberry independently debuted #6 on iTunes Hip Hop. He then unexpectedly released a free project titled 80 Bars, which surpassed a million plays on Soundcloud for multiple songs. Riding that momentum Sam became the first local headliner to sell out Seattle’s 1,000 cap Neptune Theater, co-headlined a 29 city national tour, and rocked the main stage at Washington's biggest music festival Sasquatch. Sam’s EP Friends, Funk & Liquor debuted at #2 on iTunes Hip Hop top albums.

Born & raised in Seattle’s Central District neighborhood, Vinson’s journey in music began early in school with him drumming on lunch tables while class mates free-styled to the beats. In high school, a friend presented Vinson with the opportunity to make his own records. In 2008, Vinson joined an alternative band titled ‘Razpy & The Vigilantes’. After a year of doing shows all around the city, the group entered Seattle’s 2009 annual ‘Sound Off’ competition. After the group disbanded soon after, Vinson found himself determined to prove his skill as a producer.

In 2012, Vinson made the decision to produce for a select few artists that inspired him. These artists would go on to be some of Seattle’s most prolific & prominent voices in the music scene. Artists such as Gifted Gab, Raz Simone & Sam Lachow. While working extensively with these artists Vinson found that his production skills caught up to his insanely creative ideas. Vinson is known for productions such as Sam Lachow’s single “Lady Sunday”, entirely producing Gifted Gabs 2019 album "Cause & Effect" & crafting beats for the Raz Simone & Mozzy Joint album "Members By All Movements". Over the years, Vinson's productions have garnered more than 12 million streams across all DSP's.  In 2020 with Vinson becoming a father, husband & the owner of his newly founded production company, he is ready to turn the page on what he describes as “act 1” & focus on building his new brand.

Stemming from the oft-overlooked city of Tacoma Washington, hip hop artist King Leez is bringing his momentum to the rapidly growing Seattle hip hop scene. Growing up Leez started to learn song structure from watching music videos with his mother, and listening to his brother’s old cassette tapes of Wu-Tang, Ol Dirty Bastard, Too Short, E-40, and more. His passion progressed from freestyling on karaoke machines to headlining local parties. After realizing his potential to profit from music he decided to take rap serious, and started with the name Leezy Soprano. “On the streets, people call me T-Lay so Leez stems from Lay,” he explains.

West Coast luminary Kokane has been an influential mentor to Leez, appearing on songs with him and Kurupt, spearheading his movement past the Northwest. However Leez's journey took an unexpected turn when one of his rap partners got shot. He sadly recalls, “I just took a break. I was going through it for a few years.”

Now Leez is all in. The past year he collaborated with Pusha T, Kevin Gates, Smoke DZA, and opened for Dej Loaf. Recently after developing a genuine relationship with Raz Simone, Leez partnered up with Raz's Seattle based Black Umbrella company. His latest project "Supreme Being" is available for free download on http://www.kingleez.com/.
