Dejha Carrington is in public relations and works with National YoungArts Foundation to support emerging artists at critical junctures in their careers. She also specializes in creative campaigns and arts consulting for museums, artists and socially conscious initiatives; and writes about related topics for various media outlets.

Kelly Nunes is a talented composer, music director and conceptual visionary in the fields of contemporary and classical music. His breadth of knowledge has uniquely positioned him as a key collaborator with major projects and broadcast networks, including the Canadian Broadcast Company and Cirque du Soleil, among others. His Thursday set in Montreal is one of the longest-running nights in the city.

Dejha and Kelly have been friends since 2004, though their collaboration on Newt Miami: Experiments in Light, Color & Sound is a first together.
