Hailing from San Diego, CA, Ivan Cheong is an Indie Pop Rocker who is full of wild passion hushed to a whisper. Ivan's relaxed sound employs elaborate musical lines to compliment genuinely catchy hooks. His songs have often been described as a "quiet roar" with lyrical content compared to the bittersweet, yet compelling, songs of Connor Oberst of Bright Eyes. His influences include Radiohead, Death Cab For Cutie, and Coldplay, but his true talent lies with his ability to take elements of these artists and synthesize them into a unique sound that he can call his own.

ANNA VAUS is The California Kid, and that nickname is the title of her debut EP released on September 28. Vaus’ deep connection with her home state combined with an ever-growing passion for genuine country music made Nashville the perfect place for her roots to find wings.

Later that year, she was featured in Belmont’s Best of the Best Showcase. Vaus signed a publishing deal with Black River Entertainment in 2017 and this year she was chosen as one of six up-and-coming songwriters in AIMP’s Class of 2018 as well as one of CMT’s Next Women of Country Class of 2019. The music video for her song “Day Job” is currently featured on CMT’s 24/7 music channel, CMT Music. She is signed with CAA and has opened for major country artists such as Lee Ann Womack, Jon Pardi, Old Dominion and Hunter Hayes and regularly plays shows and songwriter rounds at various Nashville venues, including The Bluebird Cafe.
