I’m Buse Ipek but most people know me as DJ Boosie. I like to think of myself as a multifaceted creative who dips her feet into a little bit of everything.

CHIEF MAEZ

he/him, Trinidadian/Nigerian
I am a Trinidadian/Nigerian rapper/song writer and boxer currently based in Sydney. I first started making music in 2016 at the age of 19. After being part of a successful group “WeirdoGvng” and being included in multiple festival line ups, I launched my solo career under the name “Chief Maez” given by my friends as both a reflection of the leadership role I have within my community and as homage to my late grandfather who achieved the title of Chief in Engu state Nigeria. In 2022 I’ve been carefully curating my first EP “Sahrs First Son” which uses anecdotes from my life to process and reflect both my own personal trials and issues facing the wider black community.

TIVIEN
Artist, Singer/Songwriter, Model
she/her, Papua New Guinean/Australian
Hi I’m Tivien, I always love hanging at art galleries, seeing new exhibitions and going to listening parties. After highschool I realised I didn’t have to be put into a box of just a visual artist so I branched out and started modelling and making music. I usually end up incorporating parts of my Papua New Guinean identity into what I make. Anyways I’m excited to always be on this creative journey, as well as meeting amazing and inspiring people along the way.
MS. THANDI
Artist (Music), Singer/Songwriter
she/they, Zimbabwean/South African
I’m a singer/songwriter based in Sydney. I describe my genre as retro-future R&B, combining the nostalgia of the Old Soul influences I grew up with, with contemporary instrumentation and storytelling relevant this era. I take the lead on the creative direction of my work, with my art being inspired and directed by my affection for love songs and the intricacies of relationships. Through playful vulnerability, I use my music to create a fantasy world. My intention is to bring my fans into that world, and for us to feel beautiful, free, and loved. And to dance!
