JAYCE
Jayce’s music is an original synthesis between a sad boi ethos expressed in heart wrenching vocals overlaying cinematic musical arrangements, all filtered through a non-binary gender identity (they/them). Jayce got their start singing in school musicals, when they attracted the attention of a music teacher who guided their formal vocal training. Upon emerging unscathed from a teenage identity crisis, Jayce embarked on a journey of self-discovery that took them across four continents and led them to a newfound love for foreign cultures, to the point of becoming fluent in Mandarin. Currently in LA, Jayce’s main focus is completing their first album, experimenting with unique sound designs and lyrical landscapes advocating on behalf of all those who feel unwanted and unheard.

DANI VEXXX
With hard-hitting, salacious lyrics, Dani VeXXX mixes her East Coast roots with a West Coast vibe. A New England native born to two immigrant Jamaicans, Dani was raised between Queens and the Pocono mountains. While her boisterous lyrics might make you think otherwise, she consistently felt displaced, on a quest for a creative home where she could... finally fit in. A backstage audition for dance turned into choreography, then turned into songwriting, and she finally found her passion, and most importantly – her voice. We all love and hate things about ourselves, but Dani takes the things she loves and hates about herself and turns them into art that could make you laugh and cry and definitely blush. Listening to her lyrics should come with a disclaimer – Not For The Weak of Heart.
