Rynn – ‘For What It’s Worth’
About Rynn
Best known for her song “Islands,” which has been streamed on Spotify nearly 9 million times, alt/dream-pop artist Rynn has been busy wrapping up her latest EP which will come out this summer. Her most recent single “Before I Loved You” which will be included on the EP, debuted on the Chill Vibes Spotify playlist.
After graduating from Belmont University in Nashville in 2016, the Ohio native Rynn released her debut EP Nightfires and moved to LA to continue writing music. Rynn was still living in Nashville when a friend texted her and said she had heard “Islands” playing at a popular coffee shop in town. It wasn’t long before “Islands” was getting added to major Spotify playlists. To top it off, Rynn’s song “Talkin” was discovered by the artist/DJ R3HAB who ended up re-releasing the song on his album.
Since then, Rynn’s sound has continued to evolve. Although her process for writing/producing the Rynn material always begins alone in her makeshift bedroom studio, Rynn enlisted the help of producer Luca Buccellati (Tei Shi, Colouring, etc.) to finish production with her on the latest music and push the sound one step further. This year Rynn played her first showcase in Hollywood and was featured on notable music blogs such as Kick Kick Snare and Dancing Astronaut.

Nervous City Nervous Self – ‘Stories of Our Name’
About Nervous City Nervous Self
Nervous City | Nervous Self is the English language debut of Swedish singer/songwriter and poet David Josephson. Josephson, who recently released his third album in Swedish, Misslyckandets estetik (The aesthetics of failure), has with first single “G-d knows what” created “a beautiful song, full of wistful melancholy […] and quite unlike anything around”, according to Huffpost. The poetic lyrics appears to be “a reflection of what it means to embark on this journey called artistry”, which Josephson told Nordic Music Review, and it has also been described as a “song about faith and fate”.
David Josephson was born and raised in Stockholm, and started off his musical career by declaring: “I shall become Sweden´s Cohen or die!”. As Sweden never has been a country of big declarations, he was met with skepticism. A skepticism that eventually forced Josephson into German exile – in the city of Berlin where countless prophets and poets wander the streets, Josephson experienced a new sense of kinship. And it was there, during a visit at an art exhibition about German expressionism that the embryo of Nervous City | Nervous Self was created.
The debut songs of Nervous City | Nervous Self are the expression of an artist staying committed to his path, and his search for “G-d knows what” – or Godot, as Samuel Beckett might have put it.

I’ve been singing and writing since I was 9. I’ve always loved singing. I started gigging in 21+ clubs at 16 because I couldn’t wait. I dashed to Boston to attend Berklee College Of Music and refined my musicianship, theory and performance, then I sprinted to the outskirts of Los Angeles as a musician and lived there until my heart started to feel homesick and I relocated back to my hometown…Seattle. While home I perform, record, and simultaneously teach voice/piano to help others realize there passion for music.
