NYC-based artist Elliot Lee fuses dark pop melodies with edgy vocals and innovative alt soundscapes to create an unpredictable sound, acting as a voice for the voiceless. As an autistic musician, Elliot holds an awareness of what art unhindered by norms can do for the underrepresented. This bravado oozes through the cracks of their homemade music, with tracks laced with late-night-slumber-party confessions and existential cognizance. Inspired by anime and the feeling of loneliness, Elliot’s music—and their vibrant artistic world—acts as a reminder that you are never alone.

As a producer and Dj, Mio never fails to electrify the crowd with her high-energy performances, whether she is commanding a launchpad or spinning records.
