Highland Kites started as Los Angeles native Marissa Lamar's solo project, and was a way for her to deal with the aftermath of her beating a severe case of neurologic Lyme Disease, losing much of her earlier life in the process. Music was a way to deal with not  just the pain, but to help her heal and find a new purpose. 

Having never played or sung she started learning piano in 2014 at 26 and within 6 months played her first show. What started as just something to help her mind heal and give her an artistic outlet became an obsession and something she fell deeply  in love with. 

She shortly after met drummer, Neil Briggs through a mutual friend. Their musical styles were very different but the contrast created a sound that they both resonated with. 

They have since released 4 EPs, a full length album and a few singles, done 6 tours and over 100 shows. 

They're music has been described as "Hope Sandoval fronting Radiohead". They have a love for adding texture to songs, and creating dreamy landscapes around brutally honest and direct lyrics. 

They recently decided to leave Los Angeles and move to Nashville, TN. 

They released their latest EP "Better Off" in June 2019 via MGM Distribution. The two music videos they made (with Space Dream productions) off the EP have been making rounds in the festival circuit with multiple nominations and awards so far. 

They just finished 3 songs in the studio and will be releasing the first one (Two Halves) in Sept 2019.

2AP is brand new music band. In 2022 is going to release our debut album Two Alien Planets. We are singing about relationships. Some songs are duets man and woman two souls, who are singing together.

growing up with a natural eclectic taste of music for me means I grew up chasing music that gave me chills sending goosebumps down the back of my neck. 

it wasn't about the vocals or genre just how  how the timing, the arrangement of notes and how the over all composition made me feel!

because of this as a musician and composer I wanted to write songs, melodies and instrumentals not limited by race, culture, age etc. I strive to write music that sends chills and goosebumps to any listener keeping them wondering " how was that song able to make me feel some type of way" leaving them no choice but to play my albums on repeat until I finally release something new... which fingers cross is sooner than later!

happy listening *AW*

“Sam Arjes has a timeless, classic-yet-modern sound…it’s so good and resonates and it feels familiar. ”
— Chris Haghirian, DJ at 90.9FM The Bridge

Sam Arjes is a life-long multi-instrumentalist and a recording artist. He was influenced at an early age by folk, rock and pop music of the 60's and 70's--heard chiefly through radios and turntables that were a constant presence in his home while growing up.

A songwriter since the age of fourteen, he blends traditional folk and roots-rock sounds with 60's-era vibes, then infuses it with a modern flair. He strives to create songs that resonate with listeners and feel "timeless"--familiar and nostalgic, yet new and exciting.

His presence as an artist continues to grow. He has been garnering attention on popular indie music radio stations; while nationally and internationally he has been featured in publications and on acclaimed playlists. Even reaching audiences as far away as Australia and Japan.

He continues to write and perform his original songs, many of which can be heard on Spotify, Apple Music and all other digital streaming services.

Hello!

Do you see me? Standing here, off to the side? I've been watching the carousel go 'round, carrying laughing, smiling groups of people.  I've always been too afraid to join them... but today, I'm gingerly stepping onto the platform, choosing a horse, and hoping for the best.  After all, it's just a ride... right?

I'm going to pour everything into here, all the things that want to come out.  Sometimes they flow, sometimes they claw their way out.  They are many, and they come in many different shapes, but there is always a common thread, a story.  The different pieces all fit together and interact with each other, somehow.

Today I'm asking you to join me on the ride. Pick a horse. Be part of the story...
