India Shawn

https://soundcloud.com/indiashawn
Los Angeles born singer and songwriter, India Shawn, has been lending her musical talents to the music industry for over 10 years. Before releasing her debut EP, Origin, in 2012, she already had writing credits and song placements under her belt as a member of writing team, Full Circle. She’s worked with top names including Chris Brown, Diddy-Dirty Money, El Debarge, Keri Hilson, and Monica. In 2013, Solange Knowles featured India’s popular track, I’m Alive, on her Saint Heron compilation album, further endorsing her impact on the new wave of music.

With a smooth voice that connects to listeners immediately, lyrics that resonate with your heart, and fearless experimentation with R&B elements, India’s music has spiritual and emotional components to it. India Shawn’s songs take you back in time when music made you feel good inside; a musical experience that makes you think, touches your heart and motivates, some say, are the elements that are missing in today’s dynamic.

She continues to breathe fresh air into the industry with her and chart-topping songwriter, James Fauntleroy’s Outer Limits EPcollaboration, released in the Spring of 2015. Since then India has appeared on BET’s THE GAME series finale to sing the National Anthem. She has opened for artists like Ryan Leslie, Daley, KING, and Emily King. She was featured on Ludacris’s comeback album ‘Ludaversal’, and she is currently working on her forthcoming solo album that can be expected to deliver awesomely good songs that are relevant, transparent, and exciting. India Shawn is completely enchanting! Her music will captivate your mind and heart like the brightness of her beautiful, mysterious smile – something incredibly wonderful awaits…

MeLo-X

MeLo-X is a multimedia artist based in New York City. From the beginning of his professional career eight years ago, MeLo’s work has included many unique projects, seamlessly blending the worlds of art, music, fashion and design. This multidisciplinary approach to his creative practice came out of necessity. At a young age MeLo would record his own music, compose photographs, design album covers and build websites. Not being able to afford the top of the line equipment and programs of the day, MeLo turned to dated music gear, vintage film cameras and obsolete computer programs to support his artistic approach. This allowed him to experiment with the way his art was viewed and received by a young, new media generation. He quickly gained a following of both ardent fans and fellow innovators.

     MeLo-X studied at The Institute of Audio Research and has worked closely with many new media and contemporary artists in New York City. MeLo's live performances are often a blend of modern art collaborations, impromptu live musical remixes, sound design and electronic production. This mixture of studied technique, experimental expression and a DIY mindset allows MeLo's work to stand out as that of a Renaissance man pushing boundaries.

Back in the driver's seat of your girlfriend's whip, @Boyslashfriend returns with his debut album release, Low Key via Feel Up Records. Shan Poo aka BOYSLASHFRIEND is a New York City singer/songwriter with a heavy heart for 90's R&B, and a forward mind for the future in dance music. The LP, Low Key displays Boyslash's range as a storytelling hopeless romantic who loves to break night alongside that special girl or his music partners, Jason Scott Henderson and producer, Christian "MNTN" Mariano. Steady maintaining in Manhattan as a bachelor in 2015, Boyslash’s sincere sensitivity and boldness thrive on each of Low Key’s 10 tracks. The album features guest production from Obey City, MeLo-X, Joseph Marinetti, Mess Kid & more. Guest vocalists on the project include Brooklyn siren, JADE? and New York's brand new R&B MC, GETOVERHER. One of the new cuts from Low Key entitled "BTWN" has also been featured on FXX's brand new TV series, Man Seeking Woman. Low Key experiments with Shan Poo's most vibrant sound to date, with a brighter tone and sharper tongue after his 2013 debut EP, Leather Weather. Since Boyslashfriend first emerged on stage at The Fader Fort by Converse, he's performed live alongside DJ Cassidy, Ryan Leslie, G-Unit, Fabolous, Nick Catchdubs, Nadus, Jubilee, Kid Sister, DonMonique and more. Continuing to seduce young ladies in the bedroom as well as in the club, Boyslashfriend's growth is driven by every word and truth injected into his music. Influenced by Brooklyn, the UK and Los Angeles' underground party scenes, Boyslash creates a sexy fun sound of wisdom and optimism with Low Key. Shan sings "songs you should sext to."
