CANEL is a singer-songwriter, artist and musician based in Berlin. She is dancing from RNB soul to alternative rock, breaking the genre boundaries to create her own: a versatile songwriter and recognizable artiste.
Her airy, upbeat sound is influenced by the rock scene of the 1980s. The unique sound of her voice, combined with storytelling lyrics, invites you on a journey.

Born and raised in Lithuania, Kotreena is an independent artist whose music embodies sensuality, intimacy, and catchiness. Drawing inspiration from 90s R&B infused with a contemporary electronic twist, she excels in creating smooth melodies. Currently based in Berlin, Kotreena made her artistic debut in 2024 with the single „Lovin U“ (featuring Enzo Parini). Since her introduction, she has performed at notable venues including Holzmarkt Perle, Filmkunstbar Fitzgeraldo, Laksmi Bar, and Compensa in Lithuania. Presently, she is engaged in various projects, including the forthcoming releases of her tracks „Wanna Come Over, “ „SOS, “ and a collaborative endeavor with artist/producer Obsalon.

IMARI is a neo-soul, R&B, and pop ballad singer-songwriter whose music fuses dramatic emotion with raw, unfiltered storytelling. Deeply inspired by Lauryn Hill and Erykah Badu, she crafts songs that champion female empowerment and celebrate emotional freedom. Her work creates a space where listeners can embrace their sensuality, vulnerability, and strength without restraint. Whether delivering a soulful groove or a soaring pop ballad, IMARI transforms personal experiences into timeless stories that connect, heal, and inspire. In her live shows, IMARI takes audiences on a dynamic, soul-filled journey. With a full band, her arrangements move seamlessly from funky, feel-good grooves to sensual, slow-burning soul, while her pop ballads deliver drama and power that make crowds dance, sway, and feel every word. She has brought this energy to Berlin stages such as YAAM and Filmkunstbar Fitzcarraldo, captivating audiences with her authenticity and presence. In contrast, her acoustic sets strip everything back to raw emotion, intimate, vulnerable, and yet deeply empowering, leaving listeners fulfilled and connected.
