Fernando Pintado

Fernando Pintado

Simply coining Fernando Pintado as a painter is a mockery of the word. Hailing from San Juan, Puerto Rico, this multi-faceted creative uses silk-screen canvases and acrylics to illustrate his world of Alternative Rock and Free verse poetry. The imagery from his works and videos couple seemlessly with his pieces; capturing the audience's attention.

Erick Antonio Benitez

Erick Antonio Benitez

There is no denying that our rich, diverse cultures, help format how we all express our art. The Bronx-born Salvadorian artist uses vivid cultural themes in his paintings and sculptures. His "Gangster's Paradise" series embodies this wholeheartedly. In order to cultivate this unique skill-set, Erick has traveled to his native El Salvador and studied abroad at the "Metafora Tallers d'Arte" in Barcelona, Spain. The artist currently manages studios and curates shows at "La Bodega Gallery", a part of the Artists Collective located in Baltimore, Maryland.

Jeedy

 

Jeedy has been bubbling up to the forefront of Virignia's top up and coming artists.  While making music for years, and perfecting his sound, he put a stamp on his track in becoming a success with his release of "Summers in N.Y".  We suggest getting familiar with "Summers in N.Y", as it's the perfect vibe for the club, and not just in the Summer, in the Spring, Fall, and Winter.  Correction... "Winters in L.A..." ♬ ♬♬ 

If you dig the sounds from the 6, we have feeling you will not only fug with this track, non-stop, but also more of his music.
