Lucy Woodward
Having sung her way to Asia, Europe and the “Tonight Show,” Lucy Woodward’s sound continues to evolve on her album, Lucy Woodward Is…Hot & Bothered. Drawing from early inspirations as varied as Peggy Lee and Hoagy Carmichael to David Bowie and the soundtrack to “The Jungle Book,” Lucy’s breathy vocal style is as timeless as the songs she writes and performs.
Jenn Em

Deluka
Deluka are a female fronted electronic indie band from Birmingham UK. Their guitar shaped electronica is a perfect mash-up of fluid electronic beats, angular rock riffs pulsating bass and breath taking vocals.
Krista
One of the great anchors of youth is freedom, to live a life without boundaries or borders, without subscribing to provincial boxes of what should and shouldn’t be. It is what the jaded yearn for, what the aged remember with fierce nostalgia.
Sofi Bonde
Sofi Bonde is a a Swedish singer and songwriter who at the age of 17 moved to Paris, France to record her first demo and her first album ‘One’ was released. Sofi then moved to New York where she wrote and recorded her second album ‘Fighting Gravity’.
Libby Lavella
Australian-born vocalist and multi-instrumentalist, Libby Lavella calls sunny Los Angeles home sweet home. Once described by the LA Times as “pop soul fusion,” Libby’s sound has since grown and morphed into something too difficult to box into any particular genre, falling somewhere on the planes of the vast wilderness that is indie pop, retrospective folk and singer/songwriter.
Angie Mattson
Angie’s first full-length album, is both defiant and heartfelt. Angie’s smoky, hopeful lilt carries the listener through vivid landscapes and colorful stories of redemption, escape, and fantasy. She brings uniquely dark and smart lyrical imagery that separates her from her female “singer/songwriter” comparisons.
Metric
Formed in Toronto but, at various times, based in Montreal, London, New York and L.A., Metric boasts the sort of history that requires one of those connect-the-dots redlined maps you see in an Indiana Jones movie — and the story of Fantasies is no different.
Kate Earl
I have so many hours of dreaming logged in at my parents gas station in Chugiak, Alaska. Ring up a customer- dream, stock the shelves-dream, mop the floors- dream, plow the snow-dream… I had spent my whole life in this remote town asking the question “what am i gonna do with myself if i stay here?” so as soon as i had saved enough for a ticket and a guitar I moved to LA.
Meredith Meyer
Born in Oklahoma City, OK Meredith Meyer came to Los Angeles in her early years “as an escape.” While studying music since childhood, she claims her first major musical influence was “listening to my stereo for hours at a time while being grounded.” Since her arrival in California, Meyer has created a musical path for herself that stretches far beyond the average female singer-songwriter.
Butterfly Boucher
It would be difficult to write a boring biography about Butterfly Boucher’s career to date. It would have to exclude her youth in Australia, growing up in a family that picked up roots every few months traveling the outback in a Toyota Corolla wagon and eventually up-grading to a small motor-home. You would look past the fact that she’s made records on three continents.
Elizaveta
Elizaveta was born in New York where her Russian parents were stationed as interpreters at the United Nations, and grew up in Moscow, Russia, playing piano but refusing to learn how to figure-skate. She left home in her teens, to roam the world and follow her musical dreams.
Mycale
Randy Jackson introduced me to Mycale a year ago on the Henson Lot. They’d met when she’d competed in Idol Season 7, and her vocal abilities were extraordinary. She could mimic anyone, but did these spot on imitations of Joss Stone and a singer named Amerie (who was in a movie I worked on called FIRST DAUGHTER). When I heard Mycale sing in her own natural voice, I was so moved
