Local Music
Making Movies
Making Movies are poised for a worldwide audience. With music that combines the anthemic rock elements of U2, psychedelic folk with socially conscious bilingual lyrics and a strong undercurrent of traditional Latin rhythms, the band's second album, I Am Another You, has garnered international acclaim, and not only because it was produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos fame.
anothermaxwell
anothermaxwell is Shenita Hughley, a multitalented singer-songwriter, producer and instrumentalist whose music combines hip-hop, R&B and synthpop elements into an engaging whole. She recorded and produced her latest EP, Masterpiece, entirely by herself, right down to the artwork, a process she describes as "a difficult task." We're fortunate to share an interview with Hughley about her creative process, her inspirations and what's ahead for her in 2018.
