Ne-Yo, the three-time GRAMMY® Award-winning R&B hitmaker, iconic songwriter, actor, entrepreneur, and philanthropist, has sold a cumulative 20+ million adjusted albums worldwide. His debut single, 2005’s “So Sick,” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was certified quadruple Platinum. Since then, the Motown Records/Compound Entertainment recording artist has racked up a collection of hits including “Sexy Love,” “Closer,” “Because of You,” “Miss Independent,” and “Push Back” [feat. Bebe Rexha and Stefflon Don]. Three of his albums have entered SoundScan’s Top Current Albums chart at No. 1. Ne-Yo has also proven to be as powerful with his pen as he is in the studio and on stage. The Las Vegas native quickly became known as a go-to hitmaker, penning bangers like Rihanna’s “Unfaithful,” “Russian Roulette,” and “Take a Bow,” along with Beyoncé’s 2006 breakup anthem “Irreplaceable” and songs for such artists as Jennifer Hudson, Usher, Carrie Underwood, and Celine Dion, among others. Ne-Yo’s film and television credits include NBC’s World of Dance, Empire, Stomp the Yard, Save the Last Dance, Battle: Los Angeles, George Lucas' Red Tails, The Wiz Live!, and Starz’ Step Up: High Water. Most recently, Ne-Yo released a slew of new singles – “Stay Down” [feat. Yung Bleu], “Don’t Love Me,” and “You Got the Body” – paving the way for his anxiously awaited eighth album, Self Explanatory, due out July 15, 2022

Dedicated to the beat movement Sky has no borders when it comes to delivering the hype. Trekking from the beautiful mountains of British Columbia this beat bandit has made their sound heard on a global intercom. With worldly music selection and innovative mixes Sky has brought every inner ear a dance rhythm and a floor sweep.

Inspired by underground rave parties they attended in the 90’s Sky picked up their first set of turntables at the age of 15. Since then, they've witnessed the evolution of DJing and electronic music for over a decade and bring in the elements of old school and new school to their DJ sets.

Influenced by Deep House, Bass music and Hiphop, this renegade DJ has love for all genres which is revealed through their original mashups and remixes. Skylar is a strong advocate on breaking barriers for queer DJs and has traveled all over headlining in major cities including Berlin,  Los Angeles, Mexico City, Las Vegas, Honolulu, Atlanta, San Francisco and Oakland. Skylar shows versatility through imaginative style and sound over live performances and recorded DJ sets. The mission is to take you on a musical journey of different beats, rhythms and sounds through the medium of freestyle mixing.

"My current style is an influence of my past and evolution of future music. I spin freestyle sets. I read the crowd and bring them on a journey through multi­genre basslines, rhythms and flow.. I like to expand the crowd’s musical taste bringing in new sounds while mixing it up with something familiar to keep them connected."


Yo, lemme tell you 'bout this cat, Whoronbe.
from Riverside California, Whoronbe brings a mixture of hip-hop rap and spoken word into his music in Las Vegas Nevada

This ain't no one-trick pony. This brotha got more layers than a damn onion. We talkin' about a rhyme doctor with flows that bend corners like a six foe’ on three. 
One minute he droppin' conscious bars that'll make you think, the next he hittin' you with hard-knock beats that'll make you move your soul.
But hold up, that ain't all y'all. This ain't just some rapper trapped in a studio. This cat, he got hands too. Paintin' pictures that'll make your jaw drop. Concepts that jump off the wall, graffiti that tells stories in every stroke.
“This ain't no separation of church and state, this is a fusion. Music and art, he ain't two different worlds, he intertwined, yo. And whoronbe, he the bridge. He the conscious artist givin' voice to the streets, paintin' the soundtrack to the struggle, and the revolution.
So next time you see whoronbe, recognize the talent, the vision, the fire. 

This ain't no flash in the pan, this is a movement.
And that's the truth, Ruth.
- Spike Lee

My name is Janae, but my stage name is Lyric Croft. I am a 27 year old lesbian female hip hop artist born and raised in Colorado. I have been writing since I was 13 but 7 years ago I really started focusing on music and recording. I try to make music that people can really feel and concepts that people can easily identify with. I focus on making the lyrics stand out through metaphors and witty punch lines in my verses with catchy but not corny hooks that can easily get stuck in your head. Some of my biggest influences in the  growing up were TLC, Destiny'sChild, Missy Elliott, MC Lyte, Biggie etc. Now a days some of my favorites artist are Drake, Jinsu, Dizzy Wright, King Los, Mark Battles, AP, Trev Rich and Pries.

Greatness has never been achieved by playing it safe...
