NNAMDI OGBONNAYA is a multi-instrumentalist composer, producer, and performer. His musical identity was forged in the DIY community of Chicago. Relentless participation in numerous musical projects bridged genres and created inroads between scenes. Constant participation quickly opened channels to a broad cross-section of the arts world. His solo styling combines hip-hop, experimental rock, gospel, and jazz. His songs can often contain a sense of satire that is just as humorous as it is critical. NNAMDI’s lyrical insights draw on the diversity of his cultural experience as a Black, Jewish, first generation Nigerian-American. His work is characterized by the coupling of sophisticated compositional structures with pop-music motifs.
SEN MORIMOTO is a multi-instrumentalist composer and songwriter born in Kyoto, Japan and currently based in Chicago. He moved to Massachusetts at a young age where he began a life-long study of jazz saxophone. Horn in hand, MORIMOTO cut his teeth as a songwriter in the DIY hip-hop community of Western Massachusetts. He eventually moved to Chicago where he refined his sound while maintaining a consistent presence in the music culture by producing for and collaborating with artists including Joseph Chilliams (Pivot Gang), KAINA, Qari, and NNAMDI OGBONNAYA. MORIMOTO’s powerful grasp of jazz composition, pop songwriting, and hip-hop styling are fully articulated as the extraordinary sound of an unrivaled talent on Cannonball!, an LP that he wrote, arranged, and produced by himself.
Loud, sexy, equality demanding, champagne guzzling, politically pissed Chicago based rap duo, GLITTER MONEYYY defies social norms. Queen TrAshley and TayyySlayyy are femme rap powerhouses that cover issues ranging from dildos to punching Nazis in the face over bumping hip hop and trap beats. Sweet, rude, crass and outspoken, GLITTER MONEYYY charges it's audiences to go out there and do something.
