TOPH //

Using only a cello, analog drum machines, a loop pedal, and his voice, Toph defies genre. His unique sound blends classical, hip-hop, progressive rock, rap, spoken word, and beat poetry. Toph has toured worldwide as a classical cellist; Seeking new outlets for artistic expression, and not liking tuxedos much, Toph decided to do what ever he wanted to do. His first solo project, Bowing 808, is in the final stages of production.
There is never a backing track to a Toph show! There is no computer involved, and nothing is pre-recorded. All instruments are played live on stage by Toph, who then proceeds to recite out of sight rhymes in lightning tight lines. Trust us when we say this is a man you do not want to miss.

LUNA BRUJA //

Newcomer Luna Bruja has stepped out onto the scene dressed to impress. Starting out as a poet, Luna found a niche in hip-hop and was easily able to transform her words on paper into music. Her first song (Low-ish) was featured on Xzela’s 3rd body of work, Paint. After her first track was released, Luna’s songwriting itch quickly turned into her debut EP, “The Girl Who Bleeds Flowers”, which was very well-recieved. Luna effortlessly blends her own poetry into intelligent, quick-witted, and often cryptic rhymes. Creating her own unique lane, Luna continues to expand her vocabulary and branch out musically. After the SadLibs release, she will begin working on what will be her 3rd body of work, Metanoia.

XZELA //

Beginning as a solely acoustic act, Xzela began performing in June of 2016. After coming to the conclusion that she didn’t have to stick to one specific genre, she began work on her debut album, Monster, which spanned multiple genres and got favorable reviews from many publications. Since Monster debuted, she has released 2 more consistently impressive bodies of work; SadLibs will be her 4th. Xzela transcribes her trials and tribulations into feathered melodies that float across soundscapes with ease.
