Darah Marie
Hi my name is Darah Marie. I have been an artist, entertainer, and perfromer since the age of 4. I started performing in school talent shows since the 3rd Grade. Which initially consisted me of dancing throughout elementary school. Then when I got to middle and high school I gained even more confidence and exposure to showcase my singing and dancing abilities. When I turned 16, my Dad flew with me to Los Angelos CA to record and learn my true sound on a record with one of my mentors Freddy Washington. A few weeks after I graduated from high school, I released my first single ON MY MIND written by me and produced by Wav. I am beyond humbled and grateful for all the love and support from my supporters and family. I am currently working on a lot of music right now that I will be releasing soon.🌍💫🙏🏽
JoJo Scott
JoJo Scott’s smooth sound and 70’s persona stands out amongst the crowd. Whether it’s her captivating stage presence, soothing vocals, earnest songwriting, or groovy fashion sense, she brings an irresistible energy to the stage. At just eighteen, JoJo has already performed on some of the largest stages in Oregon. Her unique acoustic pop sound is a blend of 70’s music with current pop and R&B that is inspired by the likes of Harry Styles, Elton John, Fleetwood Mac, The Beatles, and many others. Audiences are never disappointed when attending one of her performances, as JoJo’s heartfelt songs connect with people at any stage of life.
Avery Doss
Whether I’m in California, Oregon or Colorado, music remains a constant. I started writing music on the bass guitar when I was 12. Over the years, my music has expanded to include guitars, vocals, midi instruments and percussion. For most of my career, I’ve looked up to prominent bassists which has shaped me in the images of bands such as RHCP and Royal Blood. Now I seek to find my own sound, which had lead me to focus social commentary on personal storytelling. Either way, you’d be hard pressed to find a song of mine that doesn’t center around a riff and layered harmonies.
Jada Braden
I’m Jada and I write songs with my guitar, I like to keep it pretty sweet and simple, just writing songs with my acoustic guitar and voice. I like to think of my songs like pieces of a diary, I write how I feel and sing about it. I hope my music can help people to get through the hard times and enjoy the good ones.
J Prodigy
J Prodigy is a 10 year old rapper born and raised in Portland, OR. At the young age of 3 years old, she began freestyle rapping whenever a beat was played.

Growing Pains
Growing Pains are an indie rock band that formed in the summer of 2018, when they were all juniors in high school.

Since we met we’ve been writing and working on our debut album Heaven Spots which we recorded last summer at Echo Hill Studios in our hometown of Portland, Oregon.

Rena
Hi! My name is Rena Marthaler, I am a 16 year old musician and performer based in Portland, Oregon. I have been playing guitar and piano for about 10 years and singing along the whole time. I began writing music when I was little, but never had the confidence to continue a song or try to advance my music until high school. I released my first solo single “Ghost Girl” October 13th of 2020. I am passionate about connecting with other youth musicians, and creating a safe space for all people to enjoy and create together.
Wavey Josef
Wavy Josef is a producer, composer, and songwriter. At the age of 20, he has already worked with both aspiring and established artists globally, and has performed at various high profile venues, art galleries and protest rallies alike. He continues to seek upward movement and a far-reaching vision for his artistry.
As a producer and engineer, Wav blends sounds from various genres such as Electronica, R&B, Hip-Hop and Pop to create a sonic environment that invites the listeners into the dimension of his conception. A poet at heart, Wav provides a dialogue in his writing that provokes grand emotion, vulnerability, and introspection. He makes music to “fill a void”, and songs he thinks his favorite artists would make if they “dipped into different vibes or went a different direction”. His influences include Lalah Hathaway, Quincy Jones, T-Pain and PARTYNEXTDOOR.
Myles Saucedo
I’m Myles Saucedo I’ve been working with music for a couple years trying to figure out what I was good at, i mostly am a songwriter and a rapper. I write music to try to show people they are not alone and that everybody has their hardships and ultimately I want to make music for the world to enjoy and love. I learned from all the best Tupac,snoop, Warren G, etc so I have a old school type of beat but make the song into my own little version to make it unique.
Rei Deora
We are Rei Deora, we have 4 members consisting of Adam Nua, Elizabeth Young, Michael Bell, and Forrest Power. We are a pop group and we all write songs that we all produce on our own as well. Everything is recorded in my bedroom. We are a Pop band and everyone is the executive producer and head songwriter of their own song, much like The Beatles, so each individual has a different way of songwriting and overall mission statement for their songs. We’d like to think we don’t sound a whole lot like other artists, but we have been told we sound like STRFKR, and Glass Animals.
Everett Tea
We are a band called Everett Tea from Camas, Washington. We started making music together 2 years ago and we haven’t stopped since. We have influences from all over the board such as emo-revival, rock and punk. Our sound ends up being a blend of all of those genres and sounds similar to Hot Mulligan as they are a big influence of ours.
Teeth
We’re a 3-man band, playing alt-hard rock, but we’re blazing our own path in music and creating a new sound. Our goal is to break barriers, spread joy and have fun. We wanna prove that anyone can do anything, because life is about living.
Lil B
Name’s Lil b. I’m trying to express my feelings through my music and to let people know that everything is ok. Trying to spread my story in hope that people who are going through similar situations will know that they are not alone.
Amara
My name is Amara. Music to me is more than just beats and vocals. It may tell my story, empower others, and do activism. I don’t know everything there is to know about music but I have one thing, passion. It’s sparks everything I do and drives my performance to bring it to life. As a black woman I know I can accomplish anything I put my passion to. I know my voice needs to be heard if I have to go cut down that tree and build my own tree. I sing because I want to empower all the other little black girls that have the same dream as me. To make a difference through their music!
