Singer, songwriter, and humanitarian Etana is a powerhouse vocalist and two-time Grammy Award, nominee. It's a been a decade after her debut as a reggae artist, she is now a recognized and respected entertainer in her native Jamaica and is also well known worldwide. Born Shauna McKenzie, the young talent migrated to the United States for the opportunity and briefly pursued a pop music career before rediscovering her roots as an adult and adopting the moniker Etana, "The Strong One" in Swahili. The return home spurred the evolution of her sound and is evident in her body of work expressed as the fusion of folk, soul, jazz, and reggae. Etana taps into the likes of Marcia Griffiths, Etta James, and Miriam Makeba for harnessing a deeply emotional sound, and she is the modern embodiment of their influence.

Born in Santa Fe, Mister Kali has become one of New Mexico's most respected reggae songwriters and producers, immersing himself in a music founded far from his high desert roots. He has spent his career defying simple expectations and shedding labels. Simply, he is a force of nature. In reality, his music is born of and lives in contradiction.
