Jem Sophia
Jem Sophia is a singer, songwriter, producer, technology artist, and guitar goddess creating the soundtrack for your Heroine’s Journey.
A quintessential gemini, she lives to bridge worlds and create space in the liminal: excavating darkness & bathing in light; weaving ethereal dreamscapes & shredding instrumentals; techno-futurist and undeniably, soulfully human.
Leaving trails of energetic glitter in the redwoods of Northern California, Jem’s interdimensional guitar playing & empowering lyrics alchemize her unique tincture of transcendental power ballads, ceremonial-grade medicine metal & conscious mom-rock.
Lwin DuMont
Hello! My name is Lwin DuMont (he/him/his), and I am Burmese-American musician living and working in Oakland. Consuming, writing, and performing music has always been my lifeline. As a kid, I first learned to love it from my classical piano teacher, quite possibly the kindest person on planet Earth. As I got older, choir, jazz combo, and my numerous garage bands connected me to my best friends. Now, even though music isn’t my full-time job, it’s still the lens through which I process the world around me and my cluttered thoughts. Send me a dm at @lwinandfriends on Instagram if you’re interested in meeting up!
