Born in South Africa and based in London, UK, this rising singer and songwriter was raised in a musical environment which sparked his passion for music. A multi-instrumentalist, he’s proficient at guitar, drums, piano and various percussion instruments. He began his career as drummer and backing vocalist for his brother Mark Haze and shared the stage with Seether and Bon Jovi. Venturing solo and inspired by The Beatles, Frank Turner and Johnny Cash, he debuted with “Home” in 2023.
Celebrating resilience in the face of the complexities of loss, his new single uses the power of music on the journey of healing. Written following the passing of his father, this heartfelt song turns grief into an uplifting energy. Starting the song with a 70s singer/songwriter feel from the lone acoustic guitar and a jolly tambourine, soon it evolves into lively Americana with peppy drums and a harmonica. And with his authentic vocals, this reflective tune is filled with genuine honesty.

Founded in 2014 and based in Youngstown, this 6-piece pop-rock band got their start as a local cover band. Fronted by vocalist Jackie Popovec, they got their name from the local newspaper The Vindicator. They’ve performed live at venues from Westside Bowl in their hometown to festivals like Summerfest. Their song “Are You Ready” became a sports anthem on ESPN and they’ve opened for Pat Benatar and Neil Giraldo, ZZ Top and Beth Hart. They debuted with their EP “Red Wine” in 2014.
Proclaiming that there is a storm brewing inside, a new person is itching to come out and that they’re feeling alive, their new single radiates vibrant sonic colors. Bridging the gap between genres, the song starts with a soulful bass, mellow rhythm and Jackie’s sultry, 60s-inspired vocals, before adding a modern rock element with howling electric guitars and changing to her raw, powerhouse voice. And with a lively horn section throughout, this groove is an extraordinary journey.
