Jesediah is a NYC-based Hip-Hop artist. Self-described as a “MOODY POPSTAR”, Jesediah releases pop-bangers with effected vocals and chill raps. Jesediah’s most recent release is a hook-filled collaboration with Clear Eyes (the solo project of Jeremy Llyod from Mariam Hill) and is the young artist’s most popular release yet. Jesediah plays several instruments and combines many different genres (from folk to dance music) to create a unique sound that is still fitting for the top 40 radio.

Self-described as “Bedroom Pop”, boyhood is another fresh face to the trans music scene. boyhood. released his debut EP “Ipsum” at the end of 2019. My personal favorite track is “2am”, which is a great introduction to this young rising star. You may even find yourself humming the melody to boyhood’s chill pop tracks around your house.
