"I'd been like, "Hey, could you just, like, improvise a bunch of stuff, record it and send it to me so I can chop it up?" … He's mostly involved in the live part of @MarianHill, but he's also a seriously dope sample guy. People love Steve." -Jeremy Lloyd (Rolling Stone interview) Touring the world as the "saxiest man in town" with electronic R&B duo Marian Hill has been Steve's life for the past four years. From club gigs in an old fortress in Germany, to thousands of cheering New Orleanians at Voodoo Fest, to opening for Alt-J in a packed Nashville auditorium, you'll find Steve grooving, dancing and wailing on his horn. And while the road and the stage are Steve's natural habitat, his debut single Forward takes a look at what happens when you put Steve in the studio. Imagine Kamasi Washington met Snarky Puppy at a party, got drunk and recorded some funky jams. Then Steve came along and chopped it all up. Steve's music is kinda like that. They're the kind of tracks that make you bob your head and feel good about life.

Sonni weaves together percussive guitar riffs, soul-drenched melodies, and meaningful lyrics to create a rootsy combination of R&B, funk, jazz, and folk. She sings with an urgency of feeling and emotion, and plays guitar with a style all her own; influenced by finger-picking, world rhythms and the blues. Her sound has drawn comparisons to Amy Winehouse, Rising Appalachia, Erykah Badu, and Norah Jones. 

In September of 2018, Sonni released her first self-produced full length solo album called "Reconcile," recorded in Philadelphia, PA, where she spent 15 years performing and writing with several projects. 

As a solo artist and as front-woman for the reggae-fusion band The Underwater Sounds, she has shared the stage with such prestigious acts as Snarky Puppy, Nai Palm (of Hiatus Kaiyote), The Easy Star All Stars, Fatoumata Diawara, John Brown's Body, and Groundation. 

A producer and songwriter at heart, she collaborates frequently with different musicians. Her compositions have been featured on local and college radio stations across the Northeast US.

Feeling thankful for all of the experiences -light and dark- that life has given me as an artist, as a woman, and as a human being. I love my city, my family, and my community.  I love our planet and the human race.  Hope you like my music. 
love.

Solitare was Born Isaac Samuel Richards on that glorious August Morning Thirty two years ago. The Skies Opened Up, and Sprinkled Drops of Sunshine on all of the inhabitants of Earth. It was rumored that the baby smelled of rich mahogany and fresh apple pie. But enough of this scented yute. After a five year vacation from worry, Solitaire began battling the Screaming Demon Entities of Hell on a regular basis, while traveling the hood in his pimp big wheel truck. Part of his adolescence was spent on the desert island of Bahrain, tracking scorpions and corralling stray cats by day and spending his nights in dimly lit tents, inhaling various flavors of hookah smoke while socializing with  groups of  other transient children. Then came the dawn of the new millennium, at which point, he had already migrated back to the Philadelphia area, to twist blunts while often avoiding school and the fuzz. What he did not avoid was the daily scribing of elaborate text whence translated would be found to have the encoded knowledge that would lead to the Salvation of Mankind after the Zombie Apocalypse. He enjoys pink sunsets and Chunky Monkey ice cream.

Seemingly ordained by some cosmic force, Adrian Palashevsky aka ‘goldenSpiral’ is not your average producer. His music, visual art, and otherworldly live shows transcend the status quo and blur the lines between auditory and visual experiences in art. Alchemizing his unique sound with genres like psy-dub, hip-hop, and world music has earned him the chance to perform for Alex Grey at CoSM and share the stage with artists like OTT, Ghostface Killah, and Space Jesus. Whether it’s solo, or with his brilliant live band format ‘goldenSpiral:Collective’, he’s been consistently turning growing crowds into believers, solidifying his reputation for being one of Philly’s most unique electronic producers.
