MEET SOME ARTISTS WHO WERE AT THE GENESIS EVENT!
MUSIC
DAP THE CONTRACT
Embarking on his dreams of becoming a musician since the tender age of 4, DAP spent his younger years becoming a classically trained pianist and performer, attending the Berklee College of Music before graduating from Brown University and Columbia Law School shortly after. Already a notable name within the industry, he has recorded with Mark Ronson in the world-renowned Abbey Road Studios, toured Europe through the SoFar sounds platform, and featured on the soundtrack for the Disney movie ‘Noelle’.
DJ LOGIC
The theorem of turntablist as musician has been long proven in the capable hands of DJ Logic, whom with jazz as his foundation has become a wax innovator by crossing genres and mixing his sound across the map. As one of the world’s most accomplished turntablists, DJ Logic is widely credited for introducing jazz into the hip–hop realms and is considered by most as a highly-respected session musician and an innovative bandleader.
IMAN RIZKY
IMAN RIZKY was bred on house beats from the early '80s and '90s. His relationship with dance music back then was a transcendental experience every weekend at places like New York City's Red Zone, the Tunnel, Limelight’s Disco 2000, the Sound Factory, and the legendary Twilo. Iman became a promoter for the Tunnel, Limelight, and the Palladium during the club scene era of the late '80s. His immersion in the heyday of club culture in NYC prompted the pursuit of his true life-long passion of DJing. With his extensive knowledge of dance music from both participation and promotion, he was able to cultivate a unique DJ sound to call his own. As the club scene era wound down and the dance music scene went underground in the early 2000s, Iman formed the party production group, Ku-Deta, which put together events stateside as well as internationally. Around the same time, he started his weekly DJ residency at SEA in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, where he continues to play on Fridays and Sundays.
JOSH SAVAGE
“Echoes of Ben Howard, Fleetwood Mac vibes and a touch of Duran Duran”-Record of the Day"
"An incredible talent for writing catchy, emotional tracks.”–Killing Moon
"Absolutely stunning."-BBC Introducing Indie-popsinger/songwriter Josh Savage has blazed a bright trail through the music industry, which should serve as a beacon to any musician looking to make a name for themselves in the unrecognizable 21st Century Music Industry landscape. The Berlin-based Brit has built loyal fanbase one living room show at a time (he holds the record for the amount of Sofar Sounds gigs worldwide), soldout headline tours in bespoke venues around the globe, and is now a pioneer in the Music NFT space. Josh Savage released his sophomore album 'Another Life' on 22 April 2022 on streaming services with an NFT collection of 1000+pieces in May. It is inspired by the love letters sent during lockdown to his pen pal across the Atlantic.

SLOWSIE
Slowsie’s romantic, guitar-driven songs harness the sunshine of LA’s beaches and the grit of Philly’s basements; meld them to create an unshakably charming sound. The artist’s influences range from the soothing harmonies of bedroom pop to the uptempo grooves of indie rock, resulting in a dynamic interplay between sonic elements which inspire slow dancing and head banging alike. Irreverent melodies and simple, heartfelt lyrics layered over a canvas of lush rhythmic elements implore listeners to close their eyes, take a breath, and have a good time.

JESSICA MANNINGS
My name is Jessica Daisy Mannings, a British artist grown in Bahrain.
My practice describes the journey of healing one's mind, body and soul through abstraction. Deconstructing form alludes to the separation of body and soul, acknowledging impermanence and unseen worlds, inspired by years of sleep paralysis. Philosophies of Abstract Art and Abstract Expressionism lie at the heart of my work, along with spiritual teachings spanning from the Bhagavad Gita, Eckhart Tolle, and yoga and meditation. I seek to evoke a sense of the mystical, capturing the soul and energy of all those I paint and draw, understanding that authentic art springs from a place of surrender and flow.
Jessica will be live painting at W3BSTOCK!
LIGHT BATHS
“Light Baths” is an ongoing photography & installation project I started in 2016 intended to illuminate the universal beauty of humankind while exploring new forms of portraiture using projected light. The goal of this multidisciplinary practice is to empower the subject & aid them in discovering freedom/acceptance from societal expectations, providing them space to express their own unfettered selves. This can lead to a cathartic & healing transformation or merely a playful & joyful experience as they revel in the beauty of their own body.

SUNDERLANDS
It's the year 5000.
Earth is no longer the blue sphere we know as home.
What remains are thousands of fragments of a planet destroyed by its inhabitants, floating together through the infinite universe. These fragments, first clung to as lifeboats amongst the wreckage, offered survivors a forlorn defense against the void.
Eventually, all hope of reunification was abandoned.
A new version of humanity began to rebuild. The fragments grew into unique colonies, each with their own culture, story and connection to the once whole earth.
While some pursued visions of peace, others have been consumed by the darkness.
All is not as it seems.
Artist Description:
Meet Shelby, the full-time oil painter and digital artist behind Sunderlands NFT.
Shelby's deep love of fantasy world-building fuels the thousands of hours she continues to pour into the meticulously hand-drawn art and lore.
Shelby has found success as a full-time artist for years before entering the NFT space, selling her paintings for $20,000+. Sunderlands is her passion project, an endlessly growing universe that will span the length of her career, lifetime, and beyond.
Roadmap, allowlist requirements and mint dates will soon be revealed in the Discord server.
