BRITTANY PFANTZ
Indie alternative, singer-songwriter from Louisiana. Her music is perfumed with jazz and
down-in-your-gut soul. She parades her roots honestly like the street bands of New
Orleans, where she learned how to stay true to the music and herself.
Brittany’s powerhouse voice is the reason why she’s compared to Amy Winehouse, Adele, and Janis Joplin. She loves to make people feel deep, go places within that they’ve been afraid of, cause them to think and move beyond to something greater, to some other worldliness. Life is her inspiration, the highs, lows, in-betweens, and all the greats who have dared to be fully themselves in this industry. It is her purpose and passion to use music to bridge the gaps between the mundane and the heavenlies, like the greek goddess iris.

WOLVES
Meet WOLVES, a band that is breaking barriers and pushing the boundaries of modern music with their infectious blend of genres. Consisting of Marc Avery, Sean Carney, and Rockwell Sands, the Los Angeles based trio have created their own unique sound, marrying pop sensibilities with bold rock’n’roll and gritty urban beats. With each member hailing from various cultural backgrounds, WOLVES have crafted their own distinct style, shaping the sound of pop culture as we know it.
“We wondered what it would be like if we took all these different influences we loved—artists like Michael Jackson, the Eagles, Coldplay—and rolled them all into one band today,” Sands muses. Their eclectic influences proved to be inspirational, with their debut single ‘Animal’ giving the trio their signature explosive sound.
The band was named after the characteristics of wolves. These majestic animals which are bonded by an innate sense of the pack, move in harmony as one unit towards common goals. “I can’t think of a better way to describe us. The three of us are all about the good of the group; every day we try to embody that philosophy in our music and beyond.” remarks Avery.
WOLVES highly anticipated single 'Freaky' is an anthem to inspire others to be brave and embrace who you are, to share your inner-most desires with the world and to live life to the fullest. Featuring slick indie pop grooves, 90’s reminiscent hip hop and hard-hitting rhythms, ‘Freaky’ is a song that you can’t help but dance to. "We love listening to music from back in the day and try to re-imagine what it would sound like today.” reveals Carney.
From the primal energy of ‘Animal' to the seductive tones in ‘Freaky’, WOLVES have crafted a wildly diverse range of music built for pop radio and stadiums alike. Having already earned top spots on the Billboard charts and heavy rotation on Sirius XM Hits 1, the trio hopes to inspire audiences across the globe with their music, and to continue creating unforgettable songs that at once nod to the past and hurtle towards the future.

GEO
GEO started writing songs in her early teens. Together with her diaries, and home movies, life with all its joy and pain became the spur for a huge outpouring of creativity. By the age of 17 she had quite a collection of songs and scraps of songs, the best of which found their way onto her debut album, AURA.
At the age of 16, she performed live at Genghis Cohen’s, West Hollywood, and at Dartington Hall in Devon, England. The following Spring she toured in the UK with international dance musical, Where Is Home? and later in that year, performed for a season at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. In June 2018, she showcased at New York Sync Summit, and in November at BBC One Introducing, Tobacco Dock, London.
These experiences of performing, working alongside artists from the UK, South Africa, Italy, the USA, the Caribbean, Japan and Pakistan, have been great and have allowed her to reach out to a wide and very appreciative live audience.
In 2019 Geo performed in Germany, France, Belgium, Holland and the UK, as special guest of The Teskey Brothers on their Half Mile Harvest EU Tour.
"Loving her music, and what a voice!" Josh Teskey, The Teskey Brothers.
