Spotlight Artists
Novelle
Montréal, Canada
Born to a literary translator and a jazz guitarist in Montréal, Novelle transforms grief and heritage into what she calls "author-pop" — a lush blend of soulful R&B and poetic storytelling.
Her journey began in silence, layering found sounds with her father's unfinished guitar loops after his passing, eventually emerging as an artist who builds immersive soundscapes from emotional fragments. Her critically acclaimed debut album has earned her a devoted following of "Archivists" — listeners who find their own stories cataloged in her music.
"My music is what happens when a literary translator's daughter and a jazz guitarist's daughter sit in the silence between their parents' worlds and finally find her own language. I don't write songs — I bind feelings into melodies. Every track is a chapter, every album a volume."
Serenade
Brooklyn, New York
Born in Brooklyn to parents whose love for classic hip-hop and 90s R&B was the soundtrack of his life, Serenade grew up viewing the DJ booth as a natural extension of his childhood home.
Now the heartbeat of the New York club scene, he seamlessly blends gritty boom-bap with silky soul — creating sets that feel like a family reunion for the city. More than a party-starter, he sees himself as a guardian of legacy, ensuring the soul of old New York pulses through the night with every perfect transition.
"I might be the one controlling the music, but a beautiful woman is the only melody that can make me forget the beat."
