Nia Sultana

A combination of Neo-Soul, Alt-R&B, and flecks of synth-Pop, Nia is choosy in her songwriting, crafting love songs of female empowerment over solely emotions-driven ballads. “I want to be a role model for younger girls who were like me, in situations that weren’t the most ideal,” she explains. “I was listening to songs telling me to stay with guys who didn’t treat me the best. It was a theme. It’s actually more challenging to write about love from the perspective of respecting yourself.” Nia’s songs on Bigger Dreams all carry that theme of self-respect, mixed with a sound that will surely take her further as she prepares her debut album. “I want to develop my own sound and not only make music based on what’s in style,” she says of her goal in music. “I want to feel like I’m pushing boundaries and creating a sound that only I can create.”

Blaxian

Known for his R&B/Soul style that has continuously alternated between heart centered and care-free lyrical elements, Blaxian is a singer, songwriter, producer and creative director. Growing up in Uptown, Washington, D.C., he learned how to play piano, drums and bass guitar with the guidance and teachings of his musically inclined family tree. In particular, his father is an immense influence to his musical career due to his own multi-talented abilities within the musical world as well. Blaxian started much of his self-taught musical career at 14 years old, and is committed to growing and evolving within his lifelong passion and only life purpose — music.
