Bailen is a songwriting-forward, indie pop, folk-rock band that has captivated audiences with their musical dynamism and the three-part “blood harmony” of siblings Julia (guitar), Daniel (bass), and David (drums).  The trio was raised by two freelance classical musicians in New York City who steeped them in Rock & Roll and Brahms. Their close familial bond is evident in their tight-knit musical arrangements and rich, emotive harmonies. The group has released two studio albums, Thrilled to Be Here (2019), produced by John Congelton, and Tired Hearts (2023), produced by Brad Cook. Both albums showcase their knack for crafting infectious melodies and introspective lyrics, earning them critical acclaim and a dedicated fan base. Their debut album was hailed by Rolling Stone as an “impressive debut”, in which they were compared to CSN, Fleetwood Mac, TLC, and Haim. Their catalog has over 50 million streams, and their song “I Was Wrong” reached the top 20 on Billboard’s Adult Alternative Chart. Additionally, NPR voted their song “Something Tells Me” #5 on the Best Songs of 2019. The band has made several TV appearances as featured artists, performing on the CBS Morning Show and The Today Show. They’ve also had the privilege of working with so many artists they admire, releasing collaborations with Amos Lee and Trousdale in 2024. In addition to their studio work, BAILEN is renowned for their engaging live performances, which feature a blend of heartfelt ballads and high-energy anthems. With a history of touring with the likes of Hozier, Amos Lee, The Lone Bellow, and many more, their stage presence and chemistry have made them a standout act at various music festivals and venues across the country.  Currently, BAILEN is preparing to release their third full-length album, which they engineered and produced themselves with collaborators Jake Sinclair (Panic! At The Disco), Riccardo Damian (Sampha), and Chris Tabron (The Strokes). They are excited to release this record fully independent. 

Rarely does modern music earn the badge timeless, but BEL cuts through the noise. Hailing from the small town of Clovis, California, Isabel Whelan crafts nostalgic songs with honesty and attention to detail, occupying the intersection of indie, pop, and folk, while taking cues from the likes of Stevie Nicks, Joni Mitchell, and Mazzy Star.   In 2022, BEL released four singles (including collaborations with girlhouse and Boyish), which culminated in the release of her sophomore EP, Jet Lag. Throughout the rollout, she steadily built a core fanbase on socials while receiving support from Sirius XM (300+ organic plays), Pandora (2 playlist covers), Spotify, Apple, and several publications. BEL headlined the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn and supported Isaac Dunbar, Beach Weather, and Kristiane, positioning herself on the precipice of the indie zeitgeist.   After landing on a handful of “Artists to Watch in ‘23,” lists, BEL has been steadily releasing a string of singles leading up to her third EP due out later this year. The project’s collaborators include Sean Silverman (Beach Weather), Jack Laboz, Jon Santana, Day Wave + more. Her single “Are You Okay?,” reached #1 on SiriusXMU organically in April/May 2023 along with support on AltNation and KCRW. After her recent direct support for Boyish on their June 2023 US tour, and upcoming Mind The Gap festival, 2023 is shaping up to be an exciting year of releases and live performances for BEL.   Short Bio - Rarely does modern music earn the badge timeless, but BEL cuts through the noise.
