Kayla Oh is an up and coming indie singer-songwriter studying contemporary voice at NYU. At just 19 years old, she has developed a stark, diaristic writing style that captures the experience of being a teenage girl: navigating first loves, overcoming heartbreak, grappling with insecurity and comparison, and simultaneously never wanting the teenage dream to end. These themes are the heart of Kayla’s songwriting and storytelling, helping her create music that is both achingly relatable and memorable. Her style is inspired by songwriting legends like Joni Mitchell, Phoebe Bridgers, and Stevie Nicks. Kayla admires and strives for the sort of writing that these women embraced, the kind that is unapologetically honest about womanhood while also being free from the pressure to remain "polite" or "ladylike". Though Kayla is a teenage girl and aims to write on behalf of them, a variety of listeners will connect with her lyrics and get hooked on her catchy melodies in a way that will make bad high school boyfriends seem universal.

 

Kayla is super excited to share her debut single, "See Through", set to release on October 6th.

Here's what she had to say about it: "I wrote 'See Through' about a relationship that ended right before we both went to college. It delves into that confusing feeling you experience when trying to move on from a person, where one moment it feels like you’ve fully healed and the next it feels like you’ve taken 10 steps backwards. At the time that I wrote the song, I was kept incredibly busy by the adjustment period that is starting college, and felt as if I’d healed from the breakup. The truth was, I had never really processed my heartbreak- and the healing I thought I'd felt was just the relief of being distracted. Writing 'See Through' was the first time I admitted to myself that I wasn’t as put together as I hoped to be. The result was a cathartic confession, and some of my most stark and relatable writing. Though I’ve come a long way in my healing since I wrote this song, I’m still really proud of what I was able to articulate then and hope the vulnerability I tapped into consoles listeners like it did for me".

Jordin Sparks has signed with Epidemic Sound. The deal kicks off with a collection of Christmas songs that we are playing here today.

Vessna is super excited to share the first single off this forthcoming record, "BUTTER", (+ the accompanying visualizer) set to release This Friday, September 29th! With mesmerizing vocal harmonies, shimmering 90’s to early 2000’s synths, and an 80’s club backbeat, 'BUTTER' drops you right into the feeling of swooning when you see your crush under the disco ball at the roller rink. Overtaken with feeling, you can’t help but brave your skates and make your way over to them, hoping you become 'smooth like butter.' "This song is inspired by a desire to feel playful, fun, sexy, and confident while navigating being a caregiver during the pandemic. I wrote 'BUTTER' inspired by Adult Skate Night (unofficially known as Black Skate Night at rinks throughout the U.S.) as a dreamscape of the freedom found on the rink" Vessna says. Together with her collaborator Lee Clarke, Scheff builds an electrifying current glistening with the anticipation and rush of pushing off the rink wall, and gliding into your confidence.

Taking inspiration from Taylor Swift, Katy Perry, and the pop princesses who soundtracked her childhood and teen years, Arden Alexa's unique sound has been developed by infusing her own quirky and youthful indie style into the upbeat anthems she knows and loves.

Born and raised in San Francisco, Arden spent the after-school hours of her high school years cutting her teeth in the Bay Area music scene.

Her debut single, 2021's "The Coast" was the world's first glimpse of her artistic ability. This was followed by 2022's "Day Dreams", Arden's first full-length project: A six-song EP that truly welcomes you into her universe of raw vocals and deeply personal lyricism.

Since embarking on her journey as a full-time artist in June of 2022, Arden has been focused on polishing her craft and finding her sound, while also amassing over 20 thousand social media followers in the process. 

With the releases of her latest songs, "Hello" and "Stupid Boy", Arden has proved her versatility and maturity as an indie artist.

 

Arden is super excited to share her new single + music video for "Petty Bitch", set to release on October 20th!Here's what she had to say about it: "After a dramatic friend breakup left me feeling both sad and angry, I needed an outlet to help me get over the grief of losing my childhood best friend. My solution came in the form of this song. What began as just a joke (being mean to anyone is wildly out of character for me) quickly turned into a sort of therapy for me, a way to channel my anger into something so outrageously fun that I was able to work through my feelings about the situation. So, when listeners find that being the bigger person or wallowing in their grief isn’t working, I hope they can turn on this song, scream the lyrics (either privately in their room or directly at the person), and move on!”.
