MARG is an indie pop artist whose influences draw from far and wide. Having lived in South Carolina, China, Argentina, California, and more, the Chinese-American artist has called different parts of the world home and has, naturally, been moved by the people she's met across the globe.

On her debut album the masquerade, 19-year-old singer/songwriter mxmtoon delivers what she calls “rhyming diary entries”: an off-the-cuff account of her most private thoughts and feelings, straight from her brightly lit brain. With her disarming vocal presence and utter aversion to self- seriousness, the Oakland-based artist offers up songs like lead single “prom dress”: a layered meditation on expectation and disappointment, written after an In-N-Out Burger-induced panic attack. Revealing her rare ability to draw deep meaning from the most mundane moments, the masquerade expands on the powerfully resonant songwriting first shown on her debut EP plum blossom. And as she strengthens her remarkable bond with her audience, mxmtoon has made a point of using her ever-growing platform to speak out on issues like immigration and LGBTQ+ rights. Not only closely tied to her identity as a young bisexual woman of color, that unguarded honesty echoes a heartfelt mission of giving voice to those who often go unheard.Follo

Hailing from the unlikely location of Mystic, a small seaport town in Connecticut, Audien (born Nathaniel Rathbun, 1992) began producing music as a teenager and gradually took his piano-driven hands-in-the-air progressive trance sound to the top of the Billboard dance charts, selling out major venues and headlining numerous EDM festivals along the way. Rathbun started creating tracks in 2008, initially releasing happy hardcore on Only Vibes Recordings, a digital label he co-founded with producer Naggy. Rathbun switched to trance in 2009, sending a demo to Ferry Corsten, who released "Rise & Shine" on his Aleph Recordings imprint. Numerous singles followed on labels like Songbird, First State Music, Enhanced Progressive, and Perceptive Deep, and leading progressive house DJs such as Tiësto, Above & Beyond, and Armin van Buuren began to take notice of Audien's euphoric sound, leading to an opening slot for van Buuren at the Roseland in New York City in 2011.

Los Angeles talent Sueco the Child transitioned from beatmaker to rapper when his debut single, "Fast," went viral in the spring of 2019. Fueled by traction on the short-form video app Tik Tok, "Fast" became a social media moment unto itself, with fans creating millions of videos soundtracked by the irreverent and subtly humorous mid-tempo banger.Sueco the Child was born William Schultz in 1997. By his early twenties, he had become a music producer best known for videos centered around making beats from random or outlandish sound sources. Along with being a beatmaker, Sueco occasionally rapped on his productions. Early singles like 2018's "Henny in the Trunk" had an atmospheric character to compliment his mumbly flow. Sueco posted the far grimier "Fast" online in April 2019, and it almost instantly took off on social media platforms. The spike in attention led to a contract with Atlantic Records, and in June of that year a remix of the viral song surfaced with new verses from Offset and A Boogie wit da Hoodie
