Aria Jay, Independent Singer/Songwriter
Aria Jay is an alternative R&B singer and songwriter who currently creates and produces her music in Brooklyn, NY. Singing and studying since age 11, Aria honed her craft with opera master Judy Hages using the classical Bel Canto technique. She then went on to study jazz performance and composition in Manhattan. Since graduating, she has worked and toured with numerous acts across the music scene covering a span of genres. This past year, she wrote and recorded her debut EP “Growth," which was released in the spring of 2017, along with her debut music video for the single "He Said." In early 2017, Aria was chosen to be artist in residence at a production studio in Brooklyn. During her one month residency, she created a visual album for "Growth". Growth ((the visual album)) takes you through a room of growing pains. Curated to go through each track of Aria Jay's debut EP in order, it was filmed exactly that way- in one studio, using each area of the space to present a different emotion and part of the story. Aria is currently recording her next album and DJing in Brooklyn.
Rachael Hardway, Dauntless Media Founder
Born and bred in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Rachael Hardway is an artist’s advocate and internet geek that seeks to fill creative spaces with questions, ideas, and strategies. Prone to jumping down intellectual rabbit holes, hotly contesting point of origin assumptions, and obsessing until the problem is solved. It takes less than a minute of talking to see that her true passion and inspiration lies in music and creative direction, so aside from marketing unbridled awesomeness and telling bad jokes, she assist artists and brands in all things music marketing, brand development, or at the very least, much cooler playlists for myself and others. Music is her sanctuary. Currently at Sony Music and Dauntless Media.
