Muyinza – ‘Man’
About Muyinza
Muyinza is an emotionally honest hip hop artist whose goal is to create music that helps people find freedom within their authentic selves.
Born in Uganda, Muyinza grew up surrounded by music. He and his family emigrated to Ontario, Canada in the mid 1990s where Muyinza’s parents, due to a heart problem from birth, immediately steered him towards music. He was enrolled in piano lessons at the age 6 and in drum lessons two years later. After losing his mother to cancer in the early 2000s, Muyinza and his family relocated to Boston, Massachusetts, where Muyinza began making his own music. This new pursuit led Muyinza to learn to DJ and ultimately to make his own beats. He then began songwriting as well, having also discovered an affinity for words and poetry. Through music, he discovered that he was able to better process some of the emotionally jarring events of his life and that he wanted to share his music with others in the hope of helping people in similar circumstances.
Muyinza started recording in the studio at the age of 15 and released his first few songs while still in high school. He then continued his musical career in college, releasing 2 full-length albums (“Scrap Paper”, “No Idea”) in addition to 2 mixtapes and winning multiple awards at the Boston Music Conference while earning his degree in Music Industry. Eager to reach as many fans as possible, Muyinza pursued every opportunity to perform, including headlining student showcases and opening for Mike Posner and Big Sean in 2010. After graduating, Muyinza wrote, recorded and released 3 EPs (“Strobelights and Stars”, “Spotlights and Scars”, “Passion”). He achieved his biggest success yet with “Passion”, reaching 300,000+ streams on Spotify.
Over the next few years Muyinza focused on music full-time. He moved to Los Angeles in mid 2017 to learn the industry. After spending spending two years Muyinza has now returned to Boston to launch his career for what feels like the first time. With his album “Beautiful Mess” coming first quarter or 2020, Muyinza is back for the first time.

Tasha Angela – ‘Undescribable Feeling’
About Tasha Angela
Her passion for making music began at the early age of 11, performing at school recitals, writing poems and singing along to her favourite songs on her way to school. It was in these moments that Tasha Angela discovered her passion for singing and began to develop her sound. Drawing inspiration from Alicia Keys, India Arie, Will I Am and Lady Gaga she was drawn to R&B and soul because in her words: “that’s the way that it translates into with the words and melodies that I hear in my head.” Tasha Angela dedicates the majority of her time to developing and perfecting her songwriting craft – she actively studies those who have come before her and is constantly refining her practice to determine what a great song is.
Tasha treats her ability to create music as a form of healing, “I feel as though it’s the one thing that truly excites me when I wake up. When I hear a melody in my head and put the keys behind it and words to follow, it’s as if I can capture certain moments and make them last forever,” she tells us.
In early 2019, Tasha Angela connected with Toronto based music industry and community leader Gavin Sheppard at Jessie Reyez’ song writing camp. Taken by her sound and talent, Gavin introduced Tasha to Dan Kurtz (Dragonette & The New Deal) and his studio, The Asylum, in the spring of 2019. It was at The Asylum that Tasha finally found a collaborative musical home. It was also at The Asylum that Tasha began working and recording the majority of her “Hidden Gems EP” in earnest with producer/arranger Sam “Avenue” Willows (Carousel, Dragonette, Tokyo Police Club). This body of work also includes one single “Up To You” – which was produced by Juno Award winner, Rich Kidd at the Jessie Reyez writing camp. All the songs are mixed by Howie Beck (Feist, Dragonette, Charlotte Day Wilson).
