Kemi Adegoroye is a multi-hyphenate creator. From an early age, she has been involved in music and theatre, which has spurred her on to act, write, and produce. A passion for music led to a commitment about a year and a half ago to pursue her vision for writing and recording her own songs, and in February 2020 Kemi released the single, “The Man Who Stole The Moon” which would then appear on her February 2021 EP, For The Record. She also shines as a member of DC-based jazz and soul band Terra Firma and brings all her love for arts and business together through her website, Alveo Creative.

A quirky and captivating electronic producer, singer-songwriter, and connoisseur of neon paint, Alex Purdy promotes self-love and daring to express your weirdness. In this episode, Alex shares her story with host Stephanie Mathias about finding her voice, overcoming Bulimia and Adderall addiction, and embracing the loving support of family and friends as she emerges strong into the DMV music scene with her debut EP “Reveal Yourself”.

Knovo produces music that can be vaguely summed up as “dreamy jazzy synth-rock”. They are a band of local musicians who met through music and decided to combine their musical talents together into a unified sound. They love experimenting with different elements in their music, not confined to a single genre nor sound. They want their audience and listeners to groove, dance, feel and connect to the music, and even sometimes be pleasantly surprised by it. The pandemic has posed many challenges but they are in the process of releasing their first EP album this year! With hopes of growth and success at the world stage level, the band puts its focus on producing good music and letting that drive them where it may be. They love the DMV music scene for its diversity and pool of talents, but also appreciate the collaborations with musicians in Philly and New York.
