Ben Greenberg has been writing and performing music since he took up the guitar at age 13.

He has since developed into a seasoned songwriter and musician, and his lyrical content has matured from impressions of teenage angst and fantasy into sincere observations of relationships and personal growth, with an eye towards the consideration of one's place in a complicated world.

Originally from Santa Rosa, CA, Ben recently moved to Los Angeles, where he works as a freelance musician and singer.

He is thrilled to be sharing his music with new audiences, and he hopes to inspire others as so many musicians and artists have inspired him.

After going viral in the summer of 2021 for her melancholic, Phoebe Bridgers-esque rendition of Miley Cyrus’ “Party in the USA” (which she cleverly dubbed “party in the alps”), 21-year-old California native Faith Zapata quickly and easily became a staple artist of the sad girl, indie singer-songwriter side of the internet — mostly beloved by TikTok under the username @faithcore. Her narrative lyricism, when paired with lulling vocals and emotive guitar, has caused Faith to become an instant favorite artist for many, and a rising artist to watch. An independent soul since childhood, Faith is a self-made artist at her core by writing, recording, and producing her own work from the comfort of her bedroom. Being born into a musical family, Faith has been involved with music and the arts for as long as she can remember: penning her first song at nine-years-old and posting covers/originals online since middle school. Faith has been releasing music since 2019, and has now garnered over 100k followers across multiple platforms and over 650k streams on her single, “apollo”. She’s even earned the approval of legends such as Taylor Swift and Phoebe Bridgers, as well as Spotify editorial attention for Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Rock, and even a Teen Vogue article.

Great Bitter Lake (previously known as "Forrest") is an indie-rock band from Martinez, CA that formed naturally when Hailie Hay (vocals/guitar) brought her collection of songs to Levi Matthews (synth/percussion/vocals) and Michael Kirk (guitar/vocals) for a small basement gig in Berkeley, CA.

The three connected with Manu Sawnhey (bass) before that debut performance and everything just seemed to fall into place.

With their roots in Hailie’s somber, singer-songwriter style, the band crafted a unique, melodic, and dynamic set of songs that reflects each band member’s personal taste in music.

The first release, Temper EP, has been released in April 2020. The same year, Hailie also offered a wonderful livestream on our Facebook page, playing live versions of a few tracks for our fans.

Kalen Chase is a rare breed. With a unique sound and striking appearance, he immediately demands attention. Born in Southern California and growing up in Washington state until his dream of becoming a lumberjack was dashed to the ground, this singer, songwriter, guitar player, and producer has already toured the world with major performing acts.

In 2006, Kalen joined Korn on tour, primarily on backing vocals, and can be heard and seen in the MTV Unplugged: Korn release in 2007 where he was featured playing an exotic array of instruments. He remained with Korn – often seen as The White Rabbit – until 2008.

While working with Korn, Kalen fronted the band The Changing, where he collaborated again with Jonathan Davis on single Jerry Bruckheimer. His career in metal would continue as the lead vocalist for the band Superfix, before joining forces with Joey Jordison (formerly of Slipknot) as the lead vocalist for Vimic in 2016.

Now, Kalen Chase has embarked on a new path, building upon his singer-songwriter roots, hard rock persona, and production experience to create a sound of his own.

Kalen has the ability to exude dynamic energy and instrumentation, acoustic prowess, and the occasional harmonious scream of angst found in his previous work in metal.

He lets just enough light into the dark corners of his lyrics that you hang onto the hope that "Good Things are happening somewhere."

Kalen currently resides in Los Angeles, where he just finished recording Good Things, featuring Brian Viglione of The Dresden Dolls on drums, available since June 26, 2020.

These things are always so formal, so I'm just gonna improv for you. My name is Marco Palos, I'm a first-generation Hispanic-American songwriter born in the heart of Downtown LA. When 2020 put a pause on our touring & performances, I skipped town & went to a little farmhouse in the Adirondacks to begin experimenting with music beyond my norm, which was Jazz & Swing. I've always loved Bowie & Macca, Foos, Lenny & Coldplay, but I wanted find my own voice. Don't know about you, but writing & creating my own music helped me get through that fucking year. Even though I had some family around, it was one of the darkest & coldest winters I'd ever experienced physically & mentally speaking. Felt like an endless reverb chamber of doom and gloom. My bedroom studio became my safe place to escape & explore other worlds through sound, lyrics & stories I'd lived... In there I found something special. Now I just want to share it with all of you. "A Place We Don't Know" was my first experimental release in March of 2021. It landed a Facebook video by Scott's Cake Love that went viral with over 2 million views! The first my new singles, "Slow Down," is a personal favorite. It was a message to myself back when I couldn't stop stressing about not working in 2020. It began the waterfall of inspiration that is now a 14-track original album I'll be releasing in 2023. I hope you enjoy the singles & that they find a home with you & your life.
