MYEA
Bio
Born in Florence, MYEA is a critically acclaimed R&B/Soul artist, IMDb-credited studio singer, and songwriter. A 2022 Amateur Night semi-finalist on the legendary Apollo Theater stage, she blends sharp lyricism with emotional depth and a voice that turns heads.
Often compared to Ms. Lauryn Hill and Jazmine Sullivan, MYEA began in the underground, Datpiff, SoundClick, and Baltimore’s club scene. She’s since released several studio albums, toured on the Speak Life circuit, and shared stages with legends like Talib Kweli.
She has collaborated with many artists on both the national and local scene. Influenced by icons like Maxwell, Mint Condition, Sade, Michael Jackson, and Janet Jackson, MYEA’s artistry continues to evolve with grace, power, and precision.
As The Michael Finkley Show once said, “When listening to MYEA’s sound, you see color.” The most common word used to describe her work is ‘unique’.

Zahirah

A graduate of Natomas Charter: Performing Fine Arts Academy with a distinction in music, he sharpened his craft under the influence of legends like Babyface, Rodney Jerkins, and Troy Taylor.
At only 25, Zahirah has already written for artists including Chris Brown, Kehlani, Zyah Belle, Yelly, and Jaydon, while drawing inspiration from modern icons like Bryson Tiller, Musiq Soulchild, Jazmine Sullivan, and Brandy.
A versatile songwriter and vocal producer, Zahirah specializes in R&B but also writes across Pop, Hip-Hop, Gospel, and Country. His lyrics navigate love, joy, and hardship, crafting music that resonates deeply and stands the test of time.
