About OTNES:
Originally from the small city of Champaign-Urbana, IL, OTNES (they/she) fell in love with music at an early age. After growing up learning flute, piano and voice, OTNES got their degree in creative writing at UIUC and moved to Chicago where they became a staple in the music scene under the name Emily Blue. There, they frequented venues like Lincoln Hall, The Metro, Schuba’s, & more.
Following lengthy self exploration, OTNES transitioned into the unknown, changing their moniker and becoming the producer they’d always wanted to be. OTNES songs became mini-movies, combining vintage electronic pop textures with live instruments & passionate vocals to create a uniquely dynamic sound.
OTNES is also a passionate director of music videos, both for themselves and others. Their visual world comes to life in the debut single ‘SPIN,’ co-directed by Mossflower Pictures, and combines OTNES’s love of color with surreal retro aesthetics.
In 2024 they performed in 7 countries, supporting Australian icon Donny Benét on his 30+ day tour around the globe. Their show boasts of mystery and intrigue, paired with the stage design of acclaimed stage designer Strangehandle.
Hear their dreamy debut album ‘SHOW THEM WHAT’S INSIDE!’ on all streaming platforms.
About BAYEM:
BAYEM is a 26-year-old modern pop artist and producer from Indianapolis, USA. Raised in a musical family, he was exposed at an early age to underground house, acid jazz, neo soul, and mainstream music. His songs interpret this diverse well of influence in a wholly unique way, with his raw perspective on life and culture being aptly manifest in his fresh lyrical depth and undeniable hooks.
After accruing millions of streams and glowing reviews of his singles Pressure, Thrill, and Demonize, BAYEM issued the infectious 2023 singles Daze and Starstruck. These singles again expanded BAYEM’s growing cultural and critical success.
Spotify has featured BAYEM in their coveted “Fresh Finds: Pop” playlist, and his single Joyride was featured in the 2022 Hulu original film “Sex Appeal.” In summer 2022, BAYEM’s single Pressure was included in the season finale of TV series The Kardashians, resulting in a 30,000% increase in Shazam searches for BAYEM’s music.
After BAYEM’s debut two-week performance residency at famed Indianapolis club LoFi Lounge sold out in April 2024, his presence as one of the most sought-after artists that the city has generated in recent years was solidified. To follow, BAYEM performed his anticipated Los Angeles live debut at the world-famous Peppermint Club in West Hollywood.
In autumn 2024, BAYEM released the dazzling new single “Malibu”, the first track from his upcoming TAPE 3 EPwhich releases on December 14, 2024. BAYEM will perform a special hometown EP release show on the same day.
Press outlets have called BAYEM a “mesmerizing, captivating new artist (A1234)” and “an artist that demands your full attention (CLOUT).”
