Keer
Her heart’s rooted in Memphis, but her soul is a wanderer. Born and raised in the Home of the Blues, Keer is a prolific singer-songwriter and performer in the vibrant Memphis music community.
She is an explorer in every sense of the word, a nomad of life. Her music is a reflection of her own wanderlust, a diary of personal discovery. The musical genres Keer works in reflect her own curiosity, ranging from soulful ballads to bold punk rock moments. She refuses to be easily understood.
Dee GOAT
Dee GOAT is a dynamic Memphis-based artist who seamlessly blends southern trap, soul, boom bap, and hip-hop into a distinctive sound that resonates deeply with listeners. Growing up in North Memphis, Dee GOAT found music to be a vital form of self-expression and survival in an environment where art became both a lifeline and a language for his story. His commitment to community, independence, and artistic evolution defines his vision—positioning him not just as an artist, but as a cultural force pushing representation and innovation forward.
Demi Lowrell
Demi Lowrell is a rising Pop/R&B singer-songwriter from Memphis, Tennessee, blending velvet-smooth vocals with heartfelt lyrics that speak to soft power, self-worth, and love that doesn’t chase—just attracts. A natural performer, Demi began singing for audiences at a young age and quickly became a standout in the Memphis music scene. She’s trained with iconic institutions like the Memphis Children’s Choir, Stax Music Academy, and Visible Music College, shaping a sound that’s as soulful as it is modern.
