Formerly active as an Americana artist under his given name, Juwan Elcock turned his keen eye for detail and storytelling prowess toward a new signature sound as Blk Odyssy—a style informed by D'Angelo, Kendrick Lamar, Funkadelic, and swinging jazz. Born in Plainfield, NJ, and now based in Austin, TX, Blk Odyssy reached nearly 290,000 listeners with a January 2024 appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concerts series, fronting an 11-piece band as he brought to life the urgent messages and relaxed grooves from his 2021 LP, BLK VINTAGE.
Originally from Northern Virginia, Niara Sterling has woven herself into the fabric of the music, art, community, and style renaissance in New York and Washington, D.C.

Her career has seen collaborations with acclaimed artists like Aluna, Ari Lennox, Ghostface Killah, and Mary J. Blige.
