Church Friends (formerly known as Belie) revolves around the musical ideas of post jazz and free jazz that founder Daniel Van Duerm has become so enamored with while living in Chicago. 
Church Friends was originally conceived as a studio project for the benefit of young engineers at Columbia College Chicago. Comprising of some finest emerging improvisers in Chicago, Church Friends has varying line ups for performances. Personnel included: Brendan McAlinden (drums/percussion), Ethan T. Parcell (drums/percussion/clarinet) Colin O'Malley (bass), Luc Parcell (electric bass), Keenan Foley (alto saxophone), Corbin Andrick (tenor saxophone) Sara Earhart (trumpet), and Adam Thornburg (trombone). 

In an attempt to bring together all friends from "the church of That music," arrangements and compositions are written to accommodate larger and smaller ensembles beyond that of the main quartet and their instruments.


Producer, Hip Hop Artist, Saxophonist, just an all around person to know and love. Just a person who loves to make and listen to music.

Three of the most lyrical MCs coming from the CHI are on the verge of making history with their music. They are known as ASYLUM. With their innovative rhymes and mind-blowing production tracks, Asylum are on making a huge name for themselves in the music industry.

Pukka Sole- The lyrically insane MC who can dominate any rapper who tests his skills and intelligence. Pray that he doesn't end your career with a mic.

Psychotic- The prolific writer and producer takes uses his mind to make the music that the Rap Industry was missing. His mission is to bring the BOOM BAP rap back on the map.

FATboy- Pre-meditated rapper without a cause. He has the insane mind of making you listen to the group instead of asking. His weight alone represents how big he can act to the audience as well as music industry.

Asylum is a force to be reckon with and they will go forward until they hit underground.
