Deemed by media queen Wendy Williams as one of “Big R&B’s, Best Kept Secrets", Dwele (pronounced dwell-l?) hails from the legendary music mecca of Detroit and lives a life in song. As a multiple GRAMMY® Award Nominee and a shared win with legendary rap icon Kanye West for "Flashing Lights,” Dwele has blazed a trail for this generation’s newfound Soul/R&B era. From stirring melodies composed on piano keys, he writes poignant music, performs with natural grace and captivates with his clear, silky tone. He carries on a Motown-inspired tradition instilled in another era. His hits include “Find A Way,” “I’m Cheatin,” “I Think I Love You,” “What’s Not To Love,” and many more.

Kenny Sway is known as “DC’s Best Male Vocalist,” coming from Seat Pleasant, Maryland, best known for the viral videos of his street performances in Washington DC.

He started out as a street artist years ago, serenading the streets of Maryland and DC, but he is still going out in the streets to perform for the people who can’t afford to buy tickets to his concerts.
