ABDU ALI
2015 VIA Fest alumn, Baltimore's Abdu Ali is a man of many talents—Bmore Club prodigy, MC of DIY Kahlon dance parties at The Crown, public speaker, author of short stories—and the 25-year-old polymath isn’t just pushing artistic boundaries, he’s breaking them down. Put on “Keep Movin [Negro Kai]” and get lost in his transcendent, futuristic sound.

JOY POSTELL
Baltimore based singer/songwriter Joy Postell keeps things short and sweet. Her thought-provoking acoustic cut 'Hands Up, Don't Shoot', was released following the Baltimore riots. 'Seattle' is more mellow and relaxed with nothing but pure neo-soul vibes. We all need a little neo-soul in our lives. Joy is part of the Balti Gurls all-girls art collective showcasing & celebrating art by women of color. “I wrote ‘Hands Up, Don’t Shoot’ to shed light and to give honor to the countless victims of police brutality. From Emmett Till, Rodney King to Michael Brown and Freddie Gray, it seems as though not much has changed. I believe that music is one of the most powerful forms of dialogue that we have. It’s time for us to unite and extend a helping hand to our fellow brothers and sisters in need.”
