TEDx Poet Rachel Kann is a modern-day mystic: irreverently reverent and exuberantly human.

She's a Write Club Los Angeles champ and resident writer for Hevria. Her poetry has been featured on Morning Becomes Eclectic on NPR and as The Weather on the podcast phenomenon, Welcome to Night Vale. She is an award-winning performance poet and mixed-media collage artist as well as DJ. 

Her passion for music and making people dance is what finally drove her to take the plunge into DJing.

She has performed her poetry with people like daKAH Hip Hop Orchestra, Sage Francis, Saul Williams, and Rahzel, at venues such as Disney Concert Hall, the San Francisco Palace of Fine Arts, and the Vans Warped Tour.

Rachel has DJd locally and nationally, including residencies at the AC in Santa Monica and Flight 18, presented by Eric Wallach and the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council in NYC. 

Rachel works in Ableton Live with an APC40 and incorporates Novation's Launchpad as well as Traktor Scratch and Serato Scratch into her repertoire.


Uplifting, enlightening and hilarious with a voice that can burn the house down, Amy Steinberg is singer, songwriter and storyteller like none other. The main thrust of her work comes from marrying the sacred and profane, fusing the dreamlike nature of spirit with the rooted realness of sexuality and humor. She plays the piano and guitar with her own swingy rhythmic bounce, injecting shades of jazz, rock, hip hop, and poetry, all with a theatrical flair. Deeply soulful, with her bombastic belt she sings of self-love, open-mindedness, and the holiness of everything.  Her 10 independent release, “Broken Open” is due out this February. This spring Amy is making a big move to Chicago to rock out as Musical and Creative Arts Director at the Bodhi Center.
