ALOE BLACC
A first-generation American offspring of Panamanian parents, Aloe is an Orange County, CA native with international flair, having made fans all over the globe. The press has certainly taken notice with everyone from People Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, The Fader, The Guardian, Complex and Okayplayer –- to name just a handful -– weighing in with positive things to say. (Quote sheet attached.) The names Gil Scott-Heron, Gnarls Barkley, Andy Bey, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfield have all been bandied about as comparisons, but who Aloe is is a true modern original, telling today’s stories with an eye toward positive social change. “The wonderful, low-key OC soulster Aloe Blacc, a Stones Throw mainstay who has just found a new audience thanks to HBO’s How to Make it in America. Watch as he starts off all Motown and halfway through veers towards Curtis Mayfield territory, always respectful of the black pop roots but never stifled by them.” --LA WEEKLY
“This feels like the very embodiment of old-school soul: chunky basslines, punchy horn bursts, unsentimental lyrics, and tough vocals that leap thrillingly into falsetto.” --TORONTO STAR
“The finest slice of vintage-sounding, piano- and horn-powered funk we’ve heard in quite some time." --XLR8R

MAYA JUPITER
Australian hip hop artist MAYA JUPITER has just completed her second solo album, produced by acclaimed Aloe Blacc. The album is a fuse of Mayaʼs cultural heritage mainly taking inspiration from Son Jarocho, Soul, Dancehall and Hip Hop. We call it “World Hip Hop." Onstage you can expect to see an amazing live show full of energy and colour. Mayaʼs live show has received glowing reviews and has seen her open for Black Eyed Peas, Common, and tour on one of the worldʼs largest touring festivals, The Big Day Out. Not only does Maya sing and rap in English and Spanish with socially conscious lyrics that you can nod your head to, but she also showcases her unique dance styles that are sure to get audiences moving too!
