Lana Del Rey
Lana Del Rey (born Elizabeth Woolridge Grant) is an American singer-songwriter whose haunted, cinematic sound redefined indie pop in the 2010s and continues to dominate streaming charts and TikTok culture into the 2020s. With nine studio albums, 11 Grammy nominations, and a philosophy degree from Fordham University, she has built one of the most distinctive and enduring catalogs in contemporary music - blending melancholic Americana, baroque orchestration, and hip-hop beats into something entirely her own.
The Marías
The Marías are a Los Angeles-based indie/alternative band led by Puerto Rican vocalist María Zardoya and drummer-producer Josh Conway, blending psychedelic soul, dream-pop, and bilingual lyricism into a hazy, cinematic sound. From viral Craigslist couch photoshoots to surviving a bandmate breakup, a Bad Bunny co-sign, and a Billie Eilish TikTok that sent 'No One Noticed' to #22 on the Hot 100, the band turned 10 years of underground hustle into a Grammy Best New Artist nomination at the 68th Annual Grammy Awards in 2026.
