We are a Seattle-based music duo of emcee Era and producer Sendai Mike. We write and create videos and songs inspired by the stories of people in our community here in the PNW. We recently released our latest project “Harana: Love Letters from the Displaced.” This album takes influence from old Filipino serenades and our love for Hip Hop. We started making music at the University of Washington in 2013. Since then, we have worked to organize projects and release shows throughout Seattle. We've been independently booking our own shows and performing throughout the PNW and along the West Coast. Our main motivation is to find new and creative ways to create art that reflects and serves the communities we serve

The Kid Ave Project is 4-piece band composed of Tomoki on drums, Aki on bass, Kevyn on percussion, and Ave on requinto, guitar and vocals. Their brand of hip-hop, all written and arranged by Ave, has hints of R&B and Latin beats, and is inspired by Harana (Filipino serenade music), but also speak of social issues and personal introspections. Their songs aim to represent Filipino-Americans and other POC, queer people, immigrants, and the intersectionality of it all.
