Emily's music has captivated audiences, including a 40,000-strong crowd at the San Francisco Women's March. Her music, including her popular song ‘Lost,’ has been featured on TV shows like Riverdale and Batwoman, and she has toured with Third Eye Blind. Emily is currently releasing new singles from her upcoming second full-length album, with the latest, 'Running out of Time,' accompanied by a striking music video exploring themes of heartbreak and self-preservation. Julianna Zachariou is a San Diego-based singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist whose unique blend of pop, folk, rock, indie and Americana has garnered over 8 million streams online. Aside from her solo project, she also contributes to the band Echobaby with friend, bandmate, and co-writer Josh Flowers. On the heels of her latest SDMA-nominated album "Hero of Your Heart," Julianna is currently raising funds for her next collection of work. Veronica May is a vibrant and multi-talented musician known for her electric guitar riffs and unique acoustic sounds. Living with Bipolar 1, she uses her music to break down stigmas around mental health.
