TiaCorine

Born in Winston-Salem, Tia grew up in a multicultural household. Her father, Japanese and African American, and her mother, Shoshone Native American, exposed her to a diverse range of music beginning at the age of 4. Her father would play hip hop's elite artists ranging from the old to the new school and her mother would play the greatest hits from pop and rock. Thus, Tia's unique music style was born in the fourth grade, Tia began performing at local talent shows and started taking flute and piano lessons. Knowing the importance of education, she attended Winston-Salem University, a historically black college and university. Though she took a small break to raise her beautiful daughter, Zoe, she re-enrolled and graduated at the top of her class with a degree in Exercise Physiology. Tia released her single, "Lotto" and caught the attention of local radio stations, DJs, clubs, and started growing on the internet, which spread her name across the U.S. As of 2022, Tia has released her latest album “I Can’t Wait” that displays just how versatile she can be as an artist, since its release the project has be widely acclaimed and a new single emerged with a new single from the project called “FreakyT” which has currently taking a life of its own and gaining steam everyday. Tia is prepared to show the world just how dynamic she can be by continuing to expand on her unique sound and artistry that will ultimately let her carve out a lane for herself that allows her to stand out on her own.

Baerd

Baerd is the Nashville based project spearheaded by Isaiah Beard. Often described as babbling-brook core, indie folk, climbing-a-tree core, cut-your-own-bangs core, progressive folk, and even twirling-in-a-circle-and-thinking-its-art core. Baerd is influenced by many artists such as The Beatles, Punch Brothers, Frank Ocean, Perfume Genius, but their primary influence is the sound of water fluttering in between their toes as they frolic gently in a stream on an overcast day, dancing through whatever apocalyptic awareness had just sullied their morning, gently skipping past whatever morbid memory had robbed them of the sweet peace of a good nights shut eye.

Abby Sage

Abby Sage has a voice that demands attention. A tender soul with an observational eye, this pop artist seems able to tap into her innermost feelings, all while helping to express the lives of those around her. An empathetic spirit, she recalls the flamboyant theatre of Florence + The Machine, as well as the hushed intimacy of Clairo. Someone who is rapidly making waves on both sides of the Atlantic, she remains humble and softly spoken, burning with a subtle intensity.

The Florist EP represents a real shift, an evolution in her artistry. “I feel like a lot of my favourite artists move from project to project. It’s cool to move between those spaces, so you can compare and contrast as you evolve.”

Her new EP is fuelled by a love for character sketches, with each song becoming a tiny play or narrative. Take “The Florist,” and its depiction of a woman who can bring beauty to the lives of others. “I’m someone who’s so protective of their friends. When something is broken, I want to fix it. And a florist is someone who through their actions makes a room prettier – because flowers always manage to do that.”

Focusing intensely on her future, Abby Sage is ready to speak directly and eloquently to her audience. A rare, rare talent, she’s the quiet voice that speaks an undiluted truth. “Everyone is in motion, whether they know it or not,” she says. “It’s always there, deep inside of us.”
