Ian McConnell is a a singer-songwriter by day, goofy social media personality of moderate notoriety by (also) day, and sleepyhead by night, McConnell has been referred to as “Kroger-brand Ed Sheeran,” and a “sexy Kermit The Frog” by a vocal minority of his 600k+ Tiktok and 230k+ Instagram followers.

Though McConnell spent the last few years attempting to be a country musician – a hilarious undertaking (in hindsight) for a suburban-DC math/cello major with no rural life experience – he has now abandoned that endeavor (for reasons obvious to anyone who has read this sentence) in favor of a nebulous Taylor-Swift-meets-Bo-Burnham vibe.

His inability to delegate has led to Ian writing, producing, mixing, and mastering all his own music, which has been streamed over 23 million times across the platforms of our gargantuan corporate overlords.

Ollie Gullick, a British artist based between London and Boston, weaves his diverse life story into music.

At 14, he moved from his hometown of Great Bookham to Abu Dhabi, where he completed high school.

This dramatic change allowed him to experience something infinitely different from the sleepy suburbs of Surrey and opened his eyes to the vastness of our world.

However, as he came to terms with his identity as a gay man, it also came with many challenges on top of all of those faced simply growing up.

At 18, he moved to Boston to pursue his dreams at Berklee and has since made waves in the local music scene with his band, The Lads.

With high-energy performances, intricate songwriting, and the release of his debut EP, Forget About Me, his music promises a captivating blend of tales encompassing identity, transition, and the complexities of modern life.
