Conscious hip-hop artist RO$$A¥ (born Josh Ross) is “A G and a gentleman,” a grounded optimist, and the SOL CHILD of Denver rap. Growing up in Little Rock, Arkansas, RO$$A¥ fell in love with hip-hop thanks to Dirty South innovators like OutKast, whom he still counts among his influences today. He first sharpened his pen as a poet, and cut his teeth on stage doing poetry slams and pageants throughout high school and college. But around 2013, his gnawing curiosity about how a song was actually made pushed him to experiment with producing his own music.

Writer, singer, and guitarist Olivia "Liv" Roumel paints raw, yet ethereal storytelling with an intricate harmonic foundation. Based in Denver, Colorado, much of her music is written and influenced by her introspection while in nature, leading her to coin the term “nature-soul”.

Steeped in vocal jazz and expressive lyricism, paired with a unique, communicative approach to keys and guitar playing, Liv’s sound is a rule-bending fusion of R&B, soul, and singer-songwriter influences. She seeks to immerse listeners in a world that articulates the internal complexity and beauty within us all.

Olivia performs and records with guitarist, producer, and engineer Harrison Tucker, who brings these songs to life in full color.
