PERFORMERS:
RyanNicole
Never easy, yet highly digestible; even tasty: RyanNicole harvests a flavor for every palate, encouraging one to savor her offerings long after she's left a stage. She is lasting, her words timeless and thick. RyanNicole is an instant classic, reviving artistry and industry in this modern era.
Nate' The Soul Sanger
Born and raised in Oakland, CA, Naté (pronounced nah-TAY) is the Bay Area’s premiere urban soulstress, maintaining a prolific career as an R&B singer/songwriter. She doesn’t go for the trendy commercial approach, she is a Soulsanger. Naté was nominated for five Bay Area Black Music Awards, winning three: Bay Area Rising Star, Best Vocalist, and Artist of The Year. She is working on her EP, scheduled for released this summer. She is at the top of her creative game and is pouring her blood, sweat, and tears into this project.
Jaha Zainabu
Jaha Zainabu is a poet, writer, storyteller, photographer, painter, and muralist from Long Beach, California. Jaha's work is often inspiring and comforting. Her words are an invitation and when she performs, you feel as if you are in conversation with a spectacular woman.
VictoriaLynn
VictoriaLynn gives honest and real human experience an entertaining twist to captivate and connect. Known for her performance pieces, she puts her full body into each line she speaks every time she steps on stage. Victoria Lynn puts her soul and spirit in her art. When you see her perform, prepare to cry, laugh, get sexually excited, or be forced to think.
Marilyn Shakur
Marilyn Shakur (born Johaunna Travis) of Oakland, CA is a poet, singer, writer, and orator. The organic and unique blend of truth, struggle and triumph that resonates through Marilyn’s distinct and captivating voice stirs the spirit and causes self reflection and transformation. She was blessed with a gift many will only dream of: the ability to express some of the most difficult truths born from life experiences, hope, and honesty through her words, producing an eclectic mixture of everything that makes you stop, stand still, listen, and feel. She is reaching beyond the traditional gospel audience to touch hearts everywhere.
Queen D
Danee Black aka Queen D is a teacher/artist/poet raised in Modesto and currently resides in Oakland, CA with a Bachelors of Arts in Liberal Studies and Black Studies. Danee Black is continuing her commitment to education and love for healing through arts, as a high school English teach for students with special needs.
Bri Blue, Entertainer
Bri Blue is an Author, Orator, Spoken Word Artist, Event Host/MC, Women's Rights Advocate, and Motivational Speaker hailing from Berkeley. With a commanding voice, a presence that cannot be ignored, a fresh perspective, and an enigmatic personality, Blue is able to draw an audience into her world of words, engage them, then give them the emotional push and courage to take another step along their journey of purpose.
