Joy Ike

Joy Ike is a full-time singer-songwriter and artist coach based out of Philly and she paints with a broad palette that defies easy categorization. Born to Nigerian immigrants, the singer/songwriter’s music, voice, and writing have drawn comparisons to female musicians such as Nina Simone, Laura Nyro, and Regina Spektor. But her percussive piano-playing and soaring vocals give homage to her African upbringing.

Leaving her career as a publicist in 2008, Joy has spent the last 14 years playing thousands of shows across the country.  A write-up on NPR’s All Things Considered says “The depth of subjects she tackles in her poetic lyrics are perfectly complemented by a unique blend of neo-soul, with just the right dash of pop…a truly compelling act to watch in person, with the ability to create an intimate setting in locations big and small.”

Birdie Busch

Birdie Busch is a working sonic and visual artist in the city of Philadelphia. She strives to reveal things in a way that doesn’t seem like a dissertation but rather a keyhole and places intention on distilling the complexities of our stories down to core truths via the paths of art and song.
