R&B and pop artist Shalyse the Lover Girl is known for her soulful and honest musicianship, influenced by time spent in both Georgia and Queens, NY. She frequently explores the complexity of womanhood, with her newest single, “I’m Just a Girl,” delving into themes of self-worth and empowerment. Shalyse will be joined by several of her favorite fellow musicians for a show celebrating up-and-coming independent artists, as well as the continued pursuit of her music career in Miami, FL. Joining her are Squallé, a local hip-hop artist with a passion for encouraging young creatives; BeeTaylor, an Atlanta-based lyricist and producer; Kxng Blanco, an influential force in the local new school hip-hop scene; Zay Blaze, an emerging R&B singer-songwriter with a range of influences from Marvin Gaye to SZA; and RJ Stackhouse, a hip-hop artist from Virginia who fuses trap influences with raw storytelling. The event will be hosted by artist, curator and entrepreneur TheSativaDiiiva with additional sounds by DJ Heard.
