From the mind and ears of San Francisco based producer/multi-instrumentalist, Joe Bagale, comes a sound that is fresh but tangibly rooted in nostalgia. The name is Otis McDonald. In 2015, Bagale began releasing new music under the this alias. Released as copyright free music, exclusively through the YouTube audio library, by 2016 his tracks had been downloaded over 3 million times, and appeared in over 3.5 million videos all around the world with an astonishing total of 7.6 billion views. In 2020 Bagale launched a weekly live stream on his popular YouTube Channel where he writes and records a brand new track while engaging with his fans. In the fall of 2020 he started releasing a brand new single every single week on all streaming platforms and since 2018 he's released 20 albums and continues to release new music regularly. Whether it's performing, writing, producing, or coming up with new ways to engage with his fans, Otis McDonald plans on giving the world a dose of the past while always looking to the future.
Jazz Mafia is a collective of innovative musicians, composers, and producers led by co-founder and multi-instrumentalist Adam Theis. Known for music that defies categorization, Jazz Mafia blends jazz, funk, hip-hop, soul, classical, and electronic elements. Since its founding in 2000, the collective has earned a reputation for crafting performances that inspire movement and thought, thriving in the spaces between genres through improvisation, collaboration, and groove. Over the past 25 years, Jazz Mafia has released 42 albums, including 24 since 2020 during a prolific period of weekly single releases. Their signature project, "Brass, Bows & Beats," a 50-piece hip-hop symphony, headlined major festivals such as the Montreal and Newport Jazz Festivals, the Hollywood Bowl, and the Kennedy Center. The group has collaborated with luminaries like Roy Ayers, Lyrics Born, Zion-I, Ledisi, and Galactic, while also curating programs for SFJAZZ, Stanford University, and Oakland Art & Soul Festival.
As they celebrate their 25th anniversary, Jazz Mafia continues to push boundaries, creating music without borders. Whether through fully improvised live mixtape- style performances or groundbreaking orchestral productions, the collective remains at the forefront of modern music, connecting traditions and audiences through their adventurous sound.
