inji electrifies washington, dc
About 2 years ago, I had the amazing opportunity to photograph rising pop-star Inji at The Atlantis in Washington, DC. About 2 weeks ago, I had the same amazing opportunity to photograph her at the 9:30 Club; Atlantis' larger sister venue. Both performances blew my expectations out of the water - the ecstatic energy Inji brought to the stage flowed throughout the audience who returned it right back to her. Singing, dancing, laughing, yelling, and everything in-between flooded


Young the Giant Started off June in The Florida Leg of Their Victory Garden Tour, With cold War Kids and Almost Monday
It was such a pleasure at the beginning of this month catching Young the Giant again in South Florida. While I covered them a few years ago in Miami, this time around was a bit further north in Fort Lauderdale at the War Memorial Auditorium, a beautiful relatively new venue (that happens to be right next door to where I'm living now)! Young the Giant is currently on their US Victory Garden tour, showcasing their newest album that was released on May 1st this year. Playing the


fightmaster in la
E.R. Fightmaster kicked off their All or Nothing Tour with a sold out hometown performance at El Cid in Los Angeles, marking it as the first stop of the tour to sell out. Throughout the night, they balanced the set with fan favorites, newer releases, and first-ever live performances of unreleased songs from their upcoming album, including “Minotaur,” “Glide,” and another song jokingly referred to as “the one for divorcees.” Between songs, Fightmaster admitted they hadn’t prep


jeff draco - a look into excess
A few weeks ago, I sat down (on the internet) with Jeff Draco to discuss the release of his latest album Excess, the modern-age yearning for community, and the worlds largest chest of drawers. Residing in the Washington, DC area since 2018, Jeff has become a staple within the capital's indie-pop music scene. With his unforgettable live performances across the DMV area at iconic venues such as the 9:30 Club, as well as touring cross-country with artists such as The Thing With

Talk Pretty by Juleser
New Orleans based singer/songwriter Juleser might have just released one of the catchiest tunes of the century. He originally started creating music in the hip hop realm but is now finding his sound through genre blending. “Talk Pretty” is a track that began as a late night recording session in his bedroom studio, but was quickly transformed into something extraordinary. Juleser’s roommates made contributions to the song by playing live bass and drums on it. “Talk Pretty” is

Green by Avonlea
Avonlea presents us with “Green,” a track that is here to perfectly capture the heartbreak and jealousy that we encounter in our lives. The 22 year old independent artist composed the song within the walls of her bedroom in just 30 minutes. The song has a delicate and vulnerable background surrounding it, including record label conflicts and the devastating death of her beloved manager, Damian Hodge, just months before its release. Despite these hardships, Avonlea bravely mar

VOYEUR by Trophy Wife
Trophy Wife - We have McKenzie on vocals, Mario on guitar, Christian on bass, and Michael on drums in their newest EP, Voyeur . Voyeur is an exceptional indie rock album that encapsulates feminine rage and plethoras of emotion through the waves of slow and heavy guitar. McKenzie’s vocals are strong and carry throughout each song allowing the listener to completely get lost in the lyrics. Trophy Wife give us a total of 6 songs including "Linoleum". Each track has it’s own un

maybe love by Maz
At the end of September Maz released her debut single "How Does It Feel" which was premiered by Zane Lowe on his World First show on Apple Music. Haling from Logan, Utah Maz has returned with her follow up single "Maybe Love" taking on her own version of alt - pop/rock which proves Maz is a force to be reckoned with. With inspiration stemming from her upbringing skating and snowboarding in her small mountain town. "Maybe Love" is a feel good song, but also would be such a fu
