About Yaya Bey
Website | Facebook | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | Apple Music
Writing poetic and unflinching narratives about her life and the totality of Black womanhood, Yaya Bey advances an idosyncratic form of R&B. It's inspired above all by classic soul and informed by jazz and hip-hop, with audible roots in her Southern and Bajan heritage. The Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter and all-around artist gained notice in 2016 with The Many Alter-Egos of Trill'eta Brown. Following a couple additional projects, she has become one of the key figures behind the reactivation of the Big Dada label, starting with the EP The Things I Can't Take with Me in 2021 and the full-length Remember Your North Star in 2022. Another EP, Exodus the North Star, appeared in 2023 and preceded Ten Fold, a 2024 full-length on which the subject matter ranged from the high cost of living to self-affirmation.

About Bathe
Website | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify
On the surface, Bathe’s dreamy R&B is as inviting as the waves lapping the shoreline at a
five-star tropical resort. But listen closer, and there are shadowy depths within.
Singer-songwriter Devin Hobdy and guitarist-producer Corey Smith-West formed Bathe eight
years ago while attending the University of Pennsylvania. Since then, the Brooklyn-based duo
has crafted music that soothes like a balm for modern anxieties—lush, melodic, and
unflinchingly honest. Their 2021 debut album Bicoastal has drawn in over 30 million Spotify
streams, thanks to its easy grooves and emotional weight.

Cinematic and ethereal, Chioke’s alternative R&B blends psychedelic production with poetic storytelling shaped by her Philadelphia roots. Starting on SoundCloud in 2017 with her late best friend and producer, Jay Dreamer, Chioke’s music honors his legacy.
Her 2024 debut at the legendary Roots Picnic marked a career milestone, shortly followed by the birth of her twin sons, a life-changing experience that deepened her artistry. With her soulful sound and emotional depth, Chioke remains a testament to resilience and evolution.
