Even when it seems like the outside world is ending, Jutes continues to construct his own world from within. It’s a space where hazy alternative, turbulent metal, sexed-up R&B, and future-facing hip-hop not only collide, but co-mingle as a concentrated catharsis. It’s a place where jarring fits of detuned guitar grind up against seductive harmonies and hyper-charged bars. For as much as it’s grounded in raw emotion and primal yearning, it’s an escape from reality soundtracked by anthems you can mosh to or make-out to. Hailing from Toronto, Jutes eventually followed his passion to Los Angeles. He never simply “dabbled” in genres. Instead, he put in the work and gained traction with indie R&B-leaning trap releases at the onset of his career. He had grown up on rock music, and it called to him the loudest. Channeling formative inspirations like Nirvana and The Smashing Pumpkins, he dropped Ladybug in 2023. It cleared the way for his breakout with Sleepyhead barely a year later. The latter generated hundreds of millions of streams, while the title track “Sleepyhead” marked his first entry on both the Billboard Alternative Airplay Chart and Mediabase. He leveled up dramatically with 2025’s Dilworth. Among many standouts, “Red Velvet” [with Ari Abdul] gathered 23 million Spotify streams, and the record incited the applause of Inked Magazine, Earmilk, Spin, Melodic Magazine, and Revolver who marveled at how “The LP vaults from sensual alt-metal (‘Parasite’) to distorted-but-pop-forward ballads (‘The End’) to uproarious rap-rocking (‘One of Us’).”  He impressively expanded his catalog as a songwriter, co-writing songs for ILLENIUM (First Time feat Iann Dior is RIAA-gold) TOMORROW X TOGETHER, Demi Lovato and many others. He launched his first full-scale headline tour in 2025, selling out venues nationwide. Now, the Toronto-born and Los Angeles-based singer, songwriter, and producer beckons complete immersion going into 2026. With a sold out European headline run in his sites for May (2026) much is in store for the breakthrough rocker

Growing up in Oklahoma, MOTHICA found openly talking about mental health struggles to be taboo and looked to the internet for a sense of community. Though MOTHICA has been writing music since she was a kid, she did not begin pursuing music until she was 18, producing and releasing her songs independently online. Embarking on a journey of self-expression and exploration through music, MOTHICA has since released a handful of EPs, countless singles, and her 2020 debut record Blue Hour, which charted No. 3 in the US on iTunes the week of its release.

Making catchy alt-pop about difficult subject matters, MOTHICA has racked up 200M global streams and has collaborated with artists like nothing,nowhere., Royal & the Serpent, and MEMBA. She has built a passionate fanbase that connects with her openness on past traumas, battle with depression, and sobriety. MOTHICA seeks to challenge stigmas surrounding mental health with her inspiring message, using music as an outlet to depict a shared experience that anyone could relate to.

In the year since releasing their debut single, “gwen,” wilt has gone from relative obscurity to one of the buzzier bands coming out of Los Angeles. With more than 

60 million combined views on lnstagram and TikTok to date, the alt-rockers, which include lead vocalist Chelsea Rifkin; guitarists Aaron Liebman and Andrew Vance, and drummer Dan Bermudez, have built a fanbase so devoted, they can no longer self-deprecatingly call themselves “your favorite band you’ve never heard of.”

Subsequent singles only fueled the fire, earning numerous placements on editorial playlists, including Spotify’s New Music Friday, New Noise, and Undercurrents; spins on influential radio stations KROQ and KCRW; and an opening slot with Britain’s massively popular Lovejoy on multiple sold-out tour dates in 2023. On Spotify alone, over 500,000 listeners across more than 150 countries have streamed wilt’s songs millions of times. 

The band sites such influences as Nirvana, Radiohead, Slow Pulp, Car Seat Headrest and Weezer. Rifkin has also made no secret of her love for ’90s grunge, and credits Hole for inspiring wilt’s moniker. “In the song ‘Celebrity Skin,’ which we love to cover, there’s the lyric ‘wilted and faded somewhere in Hollywood,’” she explains. “When we were coming up with band names none of them were hitting. And then I was like, ‘wilt.”’ Adds Vance: “I knew when I heard Chelsea say ‘wilt’ that it was the band name for sure.” Their followers, known as “wilters”, would agree. “The response from our fans has been mind-blowing,” says Vance. “The amount of attention we’ve been getting is really all we could have asked for.”

That said, wilt is just getting started, and 2024 promises to be a breakout year for the band with more singles on the way, the release of a debut EP and tour dates scheduled across the U.S.
