Bri Oglu

Bri Oglu is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter and cinematic pop artist. Her love for singing and music of almost any genre under the sun shone through from a young age and carries into her work today as she possesses the ability to create versatile songs that showcase the varying textures of her voice and her multiple influences from her youth.

Bri’s childhood was suspended between two musical worlds: her mother’s midwestern roots of country and pop, and her father and adoptive mother’s love of classic rock, 80s music, and jazz. She spent her younger years writing songs and emulating the artists she heard on the radio and around the house: Ann Wilson (Heart), Britney Spears, Shania Twain and Dido to name a few. In high school, she joined chorus, theatre and a local gospel choir. She fell in love with the visceral sounds of Idina Menzel as well as a high school sweetheart who introduced her to metal and alt-rock.

After school, she moved to Los Angeles to initially pursue acting due to the intimidating, robust nature of the music scene. While working at a karaoke bar and gigging around town, she was exposed to jazz and soul music, adding the final ingredient to her diversely influenced sound. Her path led her back to her ultimate passion in music, and she has continued to pursue her career as an artist ever since. When venues shut down during the pandemic, Bri focused on writing and recording her 6-track EP, Somewhere Else. The collection showcases her sultry, but powerful voice and pairs with a cinematic pop production style crafted by artist / producer Will Snyder. Her EP is set to release this fall.

Chris Bullinger

In the second grade, Chris Bullinger was told that he can’t sing. But Chris doesn’t like being told what he can’t do. He began writing poetry at a young age and songs sometime thereafter. Born and raised in the Midwest, Chris has lived here and there and now spends a lot of time in Nashville and Asheville. His musical influences include Bob Dylan, Townes Van Zandt and Steve Earle.

Chris writes about truth more than fact. He believes the process of songwriting — and art in general — comprises three key components: observation, empathy, rhythm. Accordingly, he is an astute observer of the human condition, often focusing on one key instant, empathizing with it, and then expanding that moment through rhythm. This technique results in a creation that is both personal and universal, as Chris draws from succinct instances of personal human existence, which necessarily are relatable to the observer.

Chris is a champion of the underdog.  He’s been known to take strays home, and he’s been known to wander. He sees the beauty and pain in existence. And every now and then he’s fortunate enough to put a tune to it.

Chris has written more than a hundred songs and a thousand poems, and recorded a couple albums back in the day. He took a hiatus after those first two albums for reasons unknown, or at least unexplained but he went back in the studio to make album three: True Rendition, which will be released soon. The hiatus is over: Chris can sing.

Leezy

Leezy is a master of contrasts.

At just 21 years old, the Chicago-based singer-songwriter exudes a wisdom far beyond her years. Leezy is unable to remember a time when she wasn’t singing — she recalls a musical childhood, surrounded by theater and the arts. She’s kept a daily journal since she was ten years old, always ready to be in touch with her internal dialogue.

At first, Leezy was resistant to the idea of pursuing music seriously, considering it a refreshing hobby. In a role reversal not experienced by many young creatives, it was actually her mother who encouraged her to consider a professional route, even buying her an electric keyboard. Leezy continued writing and recorded her first song upon arriving in Chicago at age 18.

Following her youth in the Bay Area, Leezy faced (and overcame) a new challenge. Young adulthood proved to be a battlefield of depression and addiction for the artist, and she made the decision to admit herself into treatment. Her time there was healing in more ways than one: not only was Leezy able to receive professional help, she also began to see her music in a new light. From a talent show among other patients to times of introspection during outpatient treatment, Leezy realized that music was, in fact, her calling. Becoming sober at nineteen is a victory in and of itself, and Leezy was ready to dive into the next chapter of her life with enthusiasm.

Now, Leezy has worked to lock in her own sound, never relinquishing the memory of her darker chapters. Managing to incorporate the rock elements of the late 90s and early 2000s into her bright sound, Leezy matches her penchant for the gritty and authentic with her honest stories. She is inspired by the likes of Elliot Smith but speaks to a new generation with her unique life experience, hoping to make listeners feel less alone in their individual journeys, particularly other young people.

Her latest single, “Sierra,” is a hopeful, dramatic ode to the resilience of the human spirit and will be available everywhere on March 11th. With vocals reminiscent of Lana Del Rey, honesty in the style of Billie Eilish, and a full backing band to bring everything to life, “Sierra” is Leezy’s most vulnerable work yet — an impressive feat, considering her existing catalogue.

In her own words, Leezy describes the track as a chronicle of her journey from rock bottom to sobriety, an accomplishment for which she recently acknowledged the two-year mark. “The biggest thing is that the song is about my own personal journey, and that’s where I drew inspiration from — but regardless of if you’ve struggled with addiction, everyone has struggled with something, and everyone can relate to the feeling of wanting to get better.”

She shares that once she got sober, a flurry of emotions came flooding in. The song spilled out of her, almost organically, in a moment she describes as a cathartic process. “Sierra” is a reminder of how far the young artist has come and an exciting window into all the stories she still has to share.

Leezy is continuing to hone her craft and looks forward to the day she and her piano can connect with audiences face to face. She is a singer-songwriter crafting a world of dream-pop — and inviting the listener in to spend time with her there.

After all, she says, there’s nothing better than a Hollywood ending.

Wild the Coyote

Wild the Coyote is the new dark voice of outlaw music, forging his own lane with a gritty and roaring sound, rooted in blues and rock n roll. Coyote has a thrilling and unique style that truly makes him one of a kind. His music is pushing the boundaries of country music with bursts of punk and pop in a way that’s all his own. Wild the Coyote captivates listeners with his cinematic storytelling, catchy hooks, and electrifying performances.

From growing up in a small farm town on California’s central coast to exploring big city living in Los Angeles, Coyote would try and find his way in the music industry by forming the punk-rock band, Gunpowder Secrets upon moving to Hollywood in 2007.  The band would find notable success along the way as a local L.A. act, but not enough to make dreams come true. In 2013, Coyote stepped away from the band to pursue a more personal endeavor and found his new sound and voice as a modern outlaw-country artist. Tapping into his small town roots, rough punk style, and replacing live drums with electronic beats, he was able to discover exactly how he wanted to create, write and deliver his fresh take on traditional music. Wild the Coyote is a captivating musician with invigorating rhythm and a dark, poetic lyrical style. I paint a picture like tales from the Wild West told by a very weathered and lonely soul,” he explains. I put a dark twist on my lyrics to take them as far as I can in order to give someone chills”

Wild the Coyote’s music can be found on stages and screens worldwide, most recently featured in Paramount Pictures’ hit series, Yellowstone and praised in Rolling Stone. Over the last few years, Coyote has spent significant time on the road, playing stages all over the country.  From the Harley Davidson museum in Milwaukee to the SlumFest music festival in Nashville, it is apparent that Coyote is building his audience far and wide. In the fall of 2019, Coyote landed as the opening act for Interscope Records recording artist Yelawolf, on his North American GhettoCowboy Tour, taking them throughout the US and Canada.  With two EPs already under his belt, Coyote is gearing up to release his latest EP, 7 Roses, featuring the lead single Silver Round Bullet.”  Visit WildTheCoyote.com to stay up to date with his upcoming music and tour dates.

Hot Bodies In Motion

Hot Bodies In Motion was formed by good friends Scott Johnson and Ben Carson in a Seattle basement 12 years ago. Both Johnson and Carson share a religious upbringing, which shaped their musical interests early as Johnson picked up guitar and Carson learned bass. By immersing themselves into their community, the duo explored a variety of musical outlets, such as high school choir and gigs at local farmer’s markets. After meeting in college choir, Carson and Johnson eventually started to jam together in their free time, which led to the creation of Hot Bodies In Motion.

Tracing their influences to various artists, ranging from Pharrell Williams and The Black Keys to

Rage Against the Machine and Mariah Carey, Hot Bodies In Motion is a powerful blend of throwback rock, dripping with soulful swagger that is equal parts fervent and sensual. With inescapable guitar hooks, pulsing rhythms, and a vintage vibe, Hot Bodies in Motion both promises and delivers. The duo has collaborated with notable artists such as Macklemore, Natalie from JOSEPH, and Allen Stone. Furthermore, they’ve championed major media outlets with placements in the Lionsgate Film Abduction, Netflix’s Lucifer, and NBC’s The Night Shift.

After a 10-year hiatus, Johnson and Carson are back and better than ever. Their first single back, “All Night,” paved the way for their upcoming EP, Fortune, dropping later this year. Fortune explores themes of difficult decisions in life that keep us up at night, being there for a loved one in crisis, and learning to embrace things outside of our control. Their unique sound, described as “baby-making mammal funk,” gives the duo creative freedom as they break genres.
