Zelma Studebaker (they/she), known as **Zelma Stone**, has been writing songs that hold both the hard and beautiful parts of life with honesty and care since releasing their first EP in 2019. Originally from the Bay Area and now based in Los Angeles, they’ve put out four EPs – including Dreamland (2020), which NPR called “beautiful and appealing,” noting “a quiet defiance in these songs.” They’ve opened for artists like Bartees Strange, Miya Folick, Madeline Kenney, and Alice Boman. Their music explores love, loss, faith, and doubt, carried by a voice that feels raw and real. One of their recent singles, “Be The One,” captures their readiness to show up fully – both as a person and an artist. @zelmastonemusic **Emma Ayzenberg** is a Los-Angeles-based indie folk artist who makes music laden with intimate vocals, patient melodies, and richly-textured cinematic arrangements underpinned by their poetic lyricism. Their emotionally-charged, genre-blurring discography—spanning two critically acclaimed EPs (Animus, 2022; Iron Mountain, 2024)—has earned praise from Under the Radar, FLOOD, Brooklyn Vegan, Bandcamp, Paste, and Atwood. **Mel Guérison -** Mel is an award-winning composer and has written music for film, dance & trailers spanning a wide range of genres, including work for Lionsgate, Oscilloscope, Warner Brothers, Universal, Atlus Games, Independent Directors and more. Her work has premiered at SXSW, Tribeca, Slamdance, Fantasia and other notable festivals. She has toured, arranged parts for and recorded with bands like Sleater-Kinney, Other Lives, Alexandra Savior, Whitney and more. @melguerison
