ABOUT THE MUSICIANS
Anaiet is a 25 year old Pianist,Guitarist,Singer/Songwriter, and Composer from the South West of Chicago, whose sound is a mosaic of Jazz, Gospel, Neo-Soul, RnB, Rock and Folk influences. Their music is a vulnerable testament to the human experience and seeks to inspire exploration and contemplation within the inner worlds of their audience.
Carmani Edwards is an artist, musician, and composer from the Southside of Chicago. They first encountered the bass in high school, where collective music making became a cornerstone in their life; and Black Music nourished their love of anything that grooves. Continuing in these improvisational traditions, their arrangements are sketches on a drawing pad, prayers, pages in their diary. They seek to show up to any collaboration grounded in care for fellow artists and listeners alike.
Indigo is a vocalist, composer, and curator from the southside of Chicago. Rooted in the traditions of Black Music and the deep study of Black Aesthetics, her art moves with purpose—telling stories that seek truth and connection. Indigo is the founder and host of Indigo Sessions, a show series meant to highlight the creations of Black Women and Black Queer creatives. Indigo Sessions was born from her personal longing—for safety, for kinship, for a place where We could show up fully, without apology. It has found home in beloved spaces like Dorothy and The.BlkRoom, continuing to grow as a living archive of community, artistry, and liberation. Indigo is currently a resident artist at Epiphany Center for the Arts, where she continues to expand her work across performance and curation.
