… is a candid genre-disrupting artist with a decade of behind-the-scenes experience that only serves to elevate his natural talent. His DIY attitude has taken him through a rollercoaster of tribulations and landed him in the heart of the shifting music scene. With influences that range from rock like The Used to hip-hop artists like Mac Miller, MNYS has learned to lean into the genre shift that many have failed to embrace. “I just want people to be honest with themselves and who they are as a person,” says MNYS. For him, his music is a way to be authentic and real about his experiences, touching on topics like identity and mental health. His music is a representation of his hard working mindset, being the one to craft it from beginning to end — writing to production to packaging.
MNYS is already setting the stage for something great, with recent tracks being featured on Spotify’s hyperpop + FORYOU for over 10 weeks and selling out his first show in LA in 2021. He doesn’t just work on his own tracks, but also helps others’ visions come to life, too. He co-wrote IANN DIOR’s single “Thought It Was,” which featured MACHINE GUN KELLY and TRAVIS BARKER.
Byegone
the collaboration story begins back in 2015, when derek proch and adam genie met in class and spawned a worldly electronic-themed ep for a school project. with a deep-rooted passion for producing, yet very divergent musical palettes, the two came together to become byegone. the producer duo has placements in a variety of genres, from electronic and pop to ambient and cinematic post-rock. derek and adam help create sounds for meditation and study companies and playlists, launched Life Below Elephants and enjoy working on a tracks for tv/film. the duo released their first single as an artist this year, the project showcases a series of songs that embody a raw introspective, an emotional rollercoaster of lyrics built around distorted melodic beats. in july 2021, the producers were picked to be on bitbird's "create vol. 2" album. their first live stream performance received praise from san halo himself and was featured on the best of 2021 mix.

Fuller
Fuller is the pseudonym of Los Angeles based alternative artist, J.P. Welsh. Upon arriving on the west coast at the start of 2019, J.P. began work with producer Eric Palmquist (Half-Alive, Tate McRae,; Bad Suns) on the first anthemic tracks that would solidify the sound and spirit of Fuller with a blend of 2000’s era indie rock and alt-pop. Fast forward to 2022, after being added to over 180k user playlists, racking up more than 5 million streams along with features on Sirius XM’s Alt Nation and Rodney on the ROQ, Fuller returned March 18th with a bittersweet anthem, “Call It A Win”. His most vulnerable work yet, Call It A Win spins real life obstacles into opportunities for a silver lining. Always one for finding light in darkness, Fuller’s indie-poptimism is on full display with this catchy, danceable track.
