Zelda

Zelda also known as Freckled Zelda wowed Simon and the audience with her rich powerful voice on America’s Got Talent. Zelda is up and coming and one to watch. With a four piece band of two girls and two guys who all sing, her show is a 40 minute melody packed set of engaging songs. If you saw her on AGT, wait until you see her now, she’s evolved and is delivering epic rock/ pop music. With over 10 million followers on all social platforms Zelda took time away from cosplay and comic cons and relocated from Tahoe to Hollywood to work with top fashion designers and  music producers. Currently recording her debut album at NRG Studios in Noho (with a few people who brought you Evanescence) Zelda has her first single entitled “Butterflies” slated for release late August with major distribution. 

Devon Thompson

Born in Los Angeles early this century Devon Thompson comments that her earliest memory was punching through a pane of glass, to see if she could. Quite successful in this venture, profuse amounts of blood, stitches, parental trauma, and slight fear of her next move meant performance art was already championed. Growing up a pale, emaciated misfit Devon found her home listening to music. Early Siouxsie, The Animals, The Cramps, Bill Evans and the Beatles permeated her developmental years. By the age of 19 Devon had been playing Los Angeles clubs with her bands for many seasons. Longtime Radio talent and music manager Christopher “The Minister” was referred to her early in 2020. Having worked with talents in the dark wave world, Minister sent Devon to a veteran producer to get her creative ideas into recorded form. Her recordings are thus far lingering with the Bel Canto of Roy Orbison, the delicacy of Harriett Wheeler and the sheer aggression of PJ Harvey. Her current musical influences are Cage The Elephant, Jack White, Paramore, & Lana Del Rey

Shelby Carter

In a world where music and art collide, Shelby Carter weaves tales of passion and desire, creating a unique sonic that captivates the senses. She channels her emotions and experiences into blend of genres. Her music tells stories of love and longing, of moments lost and found. She uses symbolism as a tool to paint vivid images in the minds of her listeners. 

Her upcoming release, "High Speeds”  is set to release on August 16th, and explores the thrill of pushing boundaries, racing through life with a sense of urgency, and questioning the true nature of one's identity. High speeds became a metaphor for exhilaration and freedom. It represents a relentless pursuit of dreams, always pushing forward, and never slowing down. The lyrics evoke a sense of adventure and the pursuit of pleasure, with a touch of recklessness. Through her music, her journey reflects a bold commitment to personal growth and self-expression. Follow her on Instagram and TikTok @sidesofshelby, and buckle up for a real adventure.

Alexa Villa

Born/raised in San Diego and currently based in Los Angeles, Alexa Villa is a Mexican American multi-instrumentalist (guitar, synth, and classically trained on piano since the age of seven), as well as a singer, songwriter, and producer. While her classmates were playing with Barbies, Villa grew up watching her family of musicians chase their dreams, performing in bars and clubs throughout San Diego. “I come from a family of dreamers. Growing up, we didn’t have money…we had music,” Villa shares. “I’ve been writing poetry for as long as I can remember and was introduced to the piano at seven. So, when I learned how to put the two together, the songs started flowing. I started out sitting in with my parents’ band and then in my brother’s band, it wasn’t long after that I started my own ─ eventually developing my own sound, and going onto play the San Diego circuit and Warped Tour, followed by making my way up to Los Angeles to further develop my skills.”

Known for infectious anthems featuring a blend of alt-rock and vibrant synth pop, with unapologetic vocals, Villa aims to create music that empowers and inspires others to embrace their madness and be authentically imperfect, loud, and abrupt.
