Mitski (born Mitsuki Laycock, stage name Mitski Miyawaki) is a Japanese-American singer-songwriter and indie rock icon who built a devoted cult following with raw, emotionally devastating albums before breaking into mainstream consciousness with the 2023 TikTok phenomenon 'My Love Mine All Mine' from her seventh album 'The Land Is Inhospitable and So Are We'. Born in Japan to an American diplomat father and Japanese mother, she grew up across seven countries and channeled a nomadic, identity-fractured childhood into some of the most confessional and precise songwriting of her generation. With eight studio albums and an Academy Award nomination under her belt, Mitski occupies a singular position in modern music: a fierce creative loner beloved by millions who resists the machinery of fame even as it claims her.
Mk.gee (Michael Todd Gordon) is a New Jersey-born musician, producer, and multi-instrumentalist whose debut album Two Star & the Dream Police (2024) became a critical phenomenon - ranking #1 album of 2024 by The New York Times, Dazed, and Clash, and earning a Metacritic score of 83. A reclusive guitar savant with an ear for lo-fi distortion and cassette warmth, he has co-produced for Omar Apollo and Dijon, co-written for Bon Iver, and collaborated with Justin Bieber, all while maintaining a fiercely independent artistic identity.
Sawyer Hill is a 24-year-old indie/alternative rock singer-songwriter from Siloam Springs, Arkansas, who spent a decade grinding dive bars before a single Instagram Reel turned 'Look at the Time' into a chart phenomenon. With 50+ million streams, a Billboard feature, a signing to (dis)harmony/AWAL, and a debut EP 'Heartbreak Hysteria' released in 2025, Hill is the rare viral story that actually has the chops to back it up - a deep baritone voice drawing comparisons to Eddie Vedder, Nick Cave, and Johnny Cash, wrapped in Southern alt-rock built for arenas.
