Eighteen years of growing up in Bangkok, Thailand. Five years of completing an undergrad in B.C., Canada. A Masters in Teaching during the six years and counting in the Emerald City, Evergreen State. My life has been a series of twists and turns—of trying to find where I fit into life’s grand schemes. I started by trying on teaching: the most difficult and most rewarding occupation of my life. It is an honorable and rewarding career; I have passion for it yet. But music has always been the love of my life. And so, a crazy journey begins! I am currently writing and recording original music in Seattle, living with my wonderful wife, and taking our 1 year-old cat, Jasper, on wooded walks. Wish me luck

LEAH TOUSIGNANT is bound to dazzle any audience with her smooth vocals, funky piano chops, and irresistible charm. LEAH T has spent much of her life in the Twin Cities honing her craft as a uniquely creative singer/songwriter.  Her many years spent studying the piano have transformed her into a dynamic solo performer as well as a magnetic frontwoman.​      After calling St. Paul, Minnesota her home for 24 years, LEAH T made the decision to move towards the Pacific coast and quickly dove head first into the Seattle music scene in 2015.  She recruited The Baked Goods to back her solo project and further enrich the music's harmonic texture and deepen the groove. Leah T released her sophomore EP, Feeling things., in the fall of 2018.  She also spent 2020 getting her DIY fingers dirty with a new release each month, most of which were accompanied by a unique music video. While still pursuing her original project, she was quickly scooped up by a number of local bands as a strong, supporting keyboardist and vocalist.      In 2020, the artist community was one of many groups that suffered greatly during the pandemic. With live performances at a standstill and real time collaboration with bandmates nearly impossible, Leah T was forced to make decisions she felt would be in the best interest of her career and overall well being. In December, 2020, she moved into a converted cargo van in attempts to travel the country as safely as possible, chase inspiration, and grow as an artist and an individual. The journey took her from Seattle to Florida with a slew of stops in between. Leah returned to Seattle in the summer of 2021 but knew her adventure was far from over. In November, 2021, she hit the road again with a plan to plant roots in Nashville. During the next year, we can anticipate further releases and funky collaborations in unlikely locations.

Born in Riverside, California, the oldest child in a military family, Arthur James has been traveling all his life. His songs are landmarks of his journey that paint vivid landscapes of the many thousands of miles he’s seen in a struggle to find the meaning of ‘home’.  Music was always a means of escape and release. “Growing up all over - all over the world - I needed a place to put things. I needed a place to go to. A place that was familiar to me. Some place safe, you know? So, I started writing songs and living inside them.”  His lyricism lends to his patience and attention to the substance of every song, with nods to his influences, Gregory Alan Isakov, David Bazan, Justin Vernon, Matt Skiba and John K. Samson. His writing has been described as “complex and intelligently constructed.”  Arthur played all over the upper-midwest and fronted 5 different bands, living between Minot, ND and Minneapolis, MN from 2000-2012.  After moving to Washington in 2012, he played all over the greater Seattle area.  When he's not on the road or writing, he’s reading about quantum physics, black holes and other curious subjects. “I’m into autodidactism; I’ve always loved science and math and physics, so I find books or documentaries on that stuff and feed my head. It’s fascinating and I feel that it gives you the ultimate perspective. We’re just so bloody small.”  His new EP, The 4th Floor, was recorded in his home in West Seattle using very little instrumentation. “I’ve grown to really appreciate the sound of a room when music is being played in it. Like the little things that happen on the fretboard of a guitar when fingers move over it. I wanted people to hear those things. I wanted people to hear a real voice and real fingers, singing and playing those songs. Like the songs were being performed right next to you.”  The idea behind the EP is something that’s very important to him.  “This EP was written using other people’s stories. It's a selection of songs from a plethora I wrote about things that happened to other people. I canvassed social media, requesting stories from everyone I knew. Some people gave me their journals, other stories were left on a voicemail. The purpose was to shine a light on the relationship between artist and audience. It's intrinsic. But, like, there’s a dynamic there that got lost on everyone. So, I played audience to people's stories, then turned what I heard into a songs. Recording these songs and letting those people hear their stories through my music was, you know, an effort to show people what that process looks like. That interaction. That transaction, even.”
