FITZ AND THE TANTRUMS
Multi-platinum artists Fitz and The Tantrums have energized popular music and culture with a series of unshakable, undeniable, and ubiquitous anthems and albums. Since 2008, the Los Angeles collective have magnified the scope of pop with a dash of indie, a dose of soul, and a whole lot of dancefloor-ready bounce. Their catalog spans fan favorite records such as Pickin’ up the Pieces [2010], More Than Just A Dream [2013], the gold-certified Fitz and The Tantrums [2016], and All the Feels [2019]. Along the way, they’ve impressively tallied just shy of 4 billion streams and counting powered by enduring hits such as the 4x-platinum “HandClap,” 3x-platinum “Out of My League,” platinum “The Walker,” and gold “Moneygrabber.” Fitz and The Tantrums’ most recent album Let Yourself Free arrived in 2022 with bold, bright, and buoyant singles “Sway” and “Moneymaker.” The band closed 2023 with their Perfect Holiday EP, featuring original songs to ring in the holiday season.

ALOE BLACC
Raised on salsa, merengue, and cumbia, Aloe Blacc fell in love with hip-hop as a kid and started writing rap songs when he was nine. With his lyrics drawing influence from socially conscious artists like KRS-One, he put out his first hip-hop mixtape at age 17. Later developing a fierce admiration for such soul musicians as Donny Hathaway and Marvin Gaye, he also discovered an affinity for folk-rock singer/songwriters during his college years and released his solo debut Shine Through in 2006 and sophomore album Good Things in 2010. Made in collaboration with groundbreaking producers like Pharrell Williams, Lift Your Spirit dropped on New Year’s Day in 2014 and earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best R&B Album.
