The Maryland-raised singer and songwriter invites listeners to exhale from the trials, and tribulations spawn from the tumultuous nature of love. As the story goes, Summer, like many women, has wasted time rotating through meaningless relationships. Summer Dennis is dedicated to giving her fans music that displays power, independence and femininity.

Brought up in a Christian household, Summer initially found her love of music through her mother and the church's praise and worship team. However, her studies of classical music at TAG and magnet school is where she learned classical music and developed a passion for a variety of musical genres. Today Summer credits trailblazing music icons Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, Mariah Carey, and Lauren Hill among others, for her rich musical influence.

Summer Dennis has found her place in the music space and is a fresh new voice in R&B. After introducing herself with the release of her breakout single “Everything”, last year, which hit the Billboard charts, the R&B Phenomenon is gearing up to take over 2023. Summer Dennis will use her music as a unique way of expressing universal truths.

A. Ryze, formally known as Sh’Von Ryze is a multi-talented star that was born in Washington, DC on February 2nd, 1984 but mainly raised in Prince George’s County, MD.

She discovered her talent at a very young age. At the age of 4 years old, she was told by family, friends and peers that she was going to be a star. At age 4 she began taking dance lessons, as well as gymnastics, tennis, basketball, golf, and many other sports. In her spare time she would draw, paint, write stories and poetry, and play with her family and friends. But most of all, in her spare time, she would sing and listen to music so much that her mother and father bought her a portable tape player and keyboard. In which A. Ryze took with her everywhere. Growing up she also dabbled a little with playing the drums, saxophone, clarinet, and congas, and took vocal lessons and sang in the choir. Her musical influences growing up was her grandmother, uncle, father, mother, and musical legends that played on her radio daily. With many years of experience in music, a couple of her all time favorite performances was at the Congressional Black Caucus and also at the historical Howard Theatre. Her hit single Feed Me was also played on WPGC 95.5 and she was interviewed by the late and great Tony Redz. Now at age 39, with her own art business Evelyn & Evelyn and a dream, amongst many other dreams, of starting her own record label, she knows exactly what she wants and exactly how to obtain it. With a style and sound of her very own, be ready for your ears, mind, body and soul to be uplifted, eased and fulfilled.
