We had the pleasure of interviewing EVAN GIIA about her journey in music and upcoming performance at M3F Fest over Zoom video!

M3F Fest, North America’s most celebrated non-profit music festival, has announced the lineup for the highly-anticipated 2023 edition at Margaret T. Hance Park in downtown Phoenix, Arizona from March 3-4. M3F donates 100% of festival proceeds to charity with a record $1.2 million donated last year and $4.4 million donated since 2004.

Beyond the lineup, M3F has also announced the launch of its new https://m3ffund.com/. Expanding on their current charity focus, the festival has opened up funding to the public by offering an https://m3ffund.com/getfunded to non-profit or 501(c)(3) organizations that have clear objectives and a measurable way to assess progress. All organizations must submit a detailed plan of the requested amount of funding and how it will be allocated and a project timeline. The festival prioritizes funding related to the four primary pillars of its organization, which are Community, Education, Arts, and Environment.

This expanded approach also provides more transparency to attendees with an updated process that requires organizations to provide a more detailed list of how they intend to use the funds, following up throughout the year to check in on where donations went to and creating a short video that details how the money was spent once. Attendees also play a key role in the M3F Fund. When fans buy a ticket to have a great time with their friends, they are also giving back to the community around them.

M3F’s lineup will once again bring together an eclectic group of artists across the worlds of indie, pop, R&amp;B, electronic, and more. This includes the beloved Grammy-nominated vocalist Maggie Rogers, forward-thinking English beatmaker and producer Jamie xx, French electronic duo Polo &amp; Pan, Detroit singer Quinn XCII, and the off-kilter sounds of the multi-talented Toro y Moi.

Additional highlights include and German disco &amp; house producer Purple Disco Machine, Mom + Pop signee Ashe, Nashville indie-rockers COIN, Connecticut pop and electronic singer Chelsea Cutler, the addicting sounds of Canadian indie favorites Peach Pit, Australian electronic producer Hayden James, Brit Awards “Best Dance Act” winner Becky Hill, and much more.

Originally spawned as a team-building exercise for its producers, Wespac Construction, the festival acts as a philanthropic flagship for the City of Phoenix. The 2022 edition of M3F raised 1.2 million for charity, which doubled the amount of their previous edition in 2020. This included donations to organizations like the Music Therapy Program from Phoenix Children’s Hospital, Habitat for Humanity, Backline, Artist Advocacy Foundation, United Way, Arizona Helping Hands, Saving Amy, and more.

M3F also partnered with Tonic to put on a block party in Phoenix to kick off Breast Cancer Awareness Month. The event was free and featured music from Whethan, Surf Mesa, and thom.ko. This partnership with Tonic will see them donate $1 from every can sold in the state of Arizona during October to the Wendt Family Breast Cancer Program at St. Joseph's. Donations will ensure community members have access to the best breast cancer care possible, allowing more patients to receive life-saving treatment.

Beyond music and charity, M3F also focuses its attention on sustainability with over 80% of waste being recycled each year. Guests can also enjoy an amazing variety of food and beverage offerings, art installations, and activities with more details to be announced ahead of M3F.

Tickets for M3F are now on sale and can be purchased through their https://m3ffest.com/.

Malia Civetz - End Of The Road

A FUN COVER/RE-IMAGINATION OF ONE OF MY FAVORITE SONGS BY NEW FOUND GLORY FEATURING THE AMAZING MAIYA SYKES ON VOCALS.

Head On Collision (SLOANE COVER)

Love it when you talk like that,
When you need something
Breathe your words down my back
Tattoo chills on my skin 
Love it when you talk like that
When you need something
You ain’t even have to ask
You could take it from me



Wrap your hands around my neck
Tell me I’m your favorite
Let me know that I belong to you
Light me like ya cigarette
Smoke it til there’s nothing left
Show me everything you want to do



It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

(Drop)

Feel your thoughts on my tongue
Taste your emotions
Take the life from my lungs
Drown in your ocean
Use me up until I’m numb
you have my devotion
Sacrifice for your love
I’m begging you just

Wrap your hands around my neck
Tell me I’m your favorite
Let me know that I belong to you
Light me like ya cigarette
Smoke it til there’s nothing left
Show me everything you want to do


It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

It’s written in your eyes it’s all I see
Come and taste the fire you started in me
Let me be your darkest fantasy
Know you want it like that, like that, like that, like that, like that
Feels so good to be bad yeah

GOOD TO BE BAD

Broke Boy (Stripped)

Did my own version of this beautiful Sasha Sloan song. Really connected with the lyrics and am constantly striving to make the most of each day while I am able to live and create.

SLOANE 'Smiling When I Die Cover'

things i never said

​​We had the opportunity to interview Leon of Athens on Zoom with video!
​​
​​Please share while we are #togetherathome ​🏠​
​​
​​"London based indie-pop star Leon of Athens channels the flamboyant beauty of Sufjan Stevens and Francis & the Lights, alongside a similar widescreen pop sensibility as Lauv and MARINA, who he has both supported. His album Xenos (EMI/Universal) is a beautiful, thoughtful piece of work. It showcases just why he has become a big live draw across Europe and his rising profile in the USA where he has been confirmed to appear at SXSW, Okeechobee, Firefly Music Festival, Summerfest and Shaky Knees. The album follows the highly acclaimed release of his debut album Global, championed by the likes of The Guardian, NME, Q, New York Times and more. It is produced by David Kosten (Bat For Lashes, Everything Everything) and is informed lyrically by the refugee crisis, the rise of the far-right in Europe and the US, but also personal upheavals: fractured relationships, lost faith, youth, freedom, and death.” - Spotify 
​​
​​PRAISE FOR LEON OF ATHENS
​​“Brainy pop inspired by Bernardo Bertolucci, inflected with electronic, folk and other flavours” – The Guardian
​​“Leon of Athens has mastered the art of electronica-tickled, horn-smattered, melodic pop.” – NME
​​“The Greek god of indie-pop” – Wonderland
​​“In this place where tragedy was invented, the song was joyful and sadly cathartic.” – New York Times
