DANMA$ (Daniel Massicotte) embodies the intersection where analytical precision meets artistic expression. With a lifelong passion for music nurtured alongside a successful career as an Electronic Engineer and programmer, his journey is anything but conventional. His technical creativity led to significant achievements in diverse fields including software development, artificial intelligence, the 3D gaming industry, and the motion picture industry (with credits on award-winning Hollywood films like Confession of a Dangerous Mind, Gothika, and Assault on Precinct 13). This background brings an unconventional perspective to his music creation.

This extensive background in technology wasn't separate from his love for music; it became its foundation. Teaming up years ago with his wife, a musician (performer and teacher), marked a key moment he describes as "when art meets technology," merging musical theory with technical expertise.

Now fully immersed in and dedicated to music from his own studio, DANMA$ channels this unique blend of skills into his musical projects. While adept at operating as a self-sufficient creative force – writing, composing, performing, producing, and engineering his tracks – he also actively seeks out and thrives on collaboration, partnering with other artists to explore new sonic territories. This allows him complete control when working solo, yet openness to explore a vast sonic palette, drawing inspiration from a lifetime of listening to all genres of music. Utilizing cutting-edge technology, DANMA$ pushes creative boundaries, crafting a unique sonic identity, and ensuring each release is a distinct exploration unified by his singular vision and technical artistry.

I am a singer/songwriter and producer based in Melbourne, Australia. I have an eclectic taste in music and I write and record in several genres including pop, electro pop, modern and classic rock. My musical journey takes me back to my early childhood days where I was captivated by many pop artists from the sixties, seventies and eighties in particular and have a keen interest in monitoring today’s modern music. My main musical influences have been from iconic artists such as the Beatles, the Eagles, Journey, Boston, The Police, Ultravox, New Order, David Bowie, just to name a few. I hope to one day strive to write the ultimate pop song. My music landscape journey has begun.

AWSM is an indie-folk artist and songwriter hailing from Los Angeles, renowned for his stripped-back, guitar-driven sound. His minimalist style, marked by evocative guitar melodies and poignant lyrics, draws inspiration from icons like Johnny Cash, Skinshape, Leon Bridges, and Michael Kiwanuka. 

At the helm of AWSM is Asim Khan, whose music captures the essence of our times with a focus on vulnerability and well-being.

Asim's journey to music is far from traditional. After a prosperous career in business he then earned his MD to practice medicine. However, a devastating Valentine’s Day revelation prompted him to turn to music for solace. What began as a personal endeavor quickly resonated with listeners, and the support and connection he found through his music encouraged him to embrace his talents and continue recording.

AWSM believes in the healing power of music, crafting songs that reflect his own experiences while offering comfort to others. His work promises to resonate deeply, providing a mirror for others to see their own struggles and triumphs through his heartfelt art.

Out The Curb_ 2018

Born and raised in Los Angeles (Compton), California. Started playing music around twelve as a backup rhythm guitar player for my brother. I'm mostly self-taught and just play what I feel or according to my moods.. therefore, I don't just fit into one genre or category. I play guitar, bass, and keyboards. I recently produced and wrote two songs on Melanie's Andrews album, SOULMATE, which is being released in early 2022.  She co-wrote the mega-hit "Let's Wait Awhile" on the Control album by Janet Jackson. My Influences range from Prince, Hendrix, Funkadelic, EW&F, Cameo, and Stevie Wonder. Hip Hop influences range from Dre to Quik, Tribe, PE, and of course 2pac. Shout out to K dot.

L2B emerged with his debut mixtape "The Elm City Assassin (Hosted by DJ Capcom)." The mixtape included songs such as “R.I.P. Moe Milly” - “Nike Boots,” and the hugely popular remix of Rihanna’s “Disturbia," which gained over 500,000 plays & downloads alone in 2009. 

The New Haven, Connecticut-native was then spotlighted on the rapper Game's Black Wallstreet Mixtape “MONSTARS," and was presented alongside Gucci Mane, Waka Flocka, Jim Jones, and more on the highly-widespread mixtape “Blood is Thicker Than Water Pt. 12." L2B then released his 2nd mixtape “Makin’ Moves," featuring some of L2B’s most popular songs including "Kush (Remix)” - “Memories (Remix),” and “Bring it Back."

In 2014, L2B released his 3rd mixtape, "Hallucinations," showcasing a darker, more aggressive side. The project highlighted the popular remix of the Imagine Dragons song "Monster," as well as other conceptual songs such as "Super-Hero" and "Dreamstuck."

3 years later, The Source Magazine premiered L2B's debut album "The Artist LP" in 2017. The album contained the singles "Underrated" and "Beast," as well as other notable cuts like "Diving In" - "Midnight in Hollywood," and "All Set." The story-driven songs landed L2B on platforms such as HipHopDX, 2DopeBoyz, Thisis50, and more.

Currently in 2023, L2B is in the process of putting together his fifth project, which was primarily written while living in Hollywood, California, but is being recorded and created in Harlem, New York.
