Velvet Rogue
In 2016, Gina Castanzo was featured on NBC’s The Voice, where she sang Andrew McMahon’s Cecilia and the Satellite. Only seventeen years old at the time, her performance granted her a spot on Team Blake for the show’s tenth season. After The Voice, Gina set off on a journey with the local label Raw Life Records under her new name, Gina Zo. She released two albums: My Weakness and Free Your Soul. Gina is currently the lead singer of the band Velvet Rouge and has performed at an eclectic mix of Philly’s music venues. Joining Gina on stage are Buddy Mazzenga, Joe McEnany, and Andrew Amado. Mazzenga, a veteran Philly drummer, has circulated the Northeast music scene over the past 15 years. Amado, a Philly bassist played in the local band, The Cultour. McEnany, originally found on Craigslist by Zo, can always be seen with a guitar in his hands - influenced by Led Zepplin, he has brought a new edge to the band with his groovy guitar runs and as he likes to call it… “sprinkles”.

Johnny Fordyce
Philadelphia songwriter Johnny Fordyce has been releasing music and performing in the Philly area since 2016. In 2020, his band Tea Head signed with Free Dive Records to record their debut album. In February 2022, he released a self-produced EP titled “jawny.” The songs on the record fuse the aesthetics of Lo-Fi and Indie rock, with clear influences from psychedelic, neo-soul, and indie pop. The songs quickly came to life when lifelong friend and old band mate Andrew Henry met for rehearsal with Aiden Jordan. Johnny had met Aiden at the SODABar and attended U-Arts together. Local music and fellow U-Arts student Eric Juelke joined the group and together they debut their live performance in the Fall of 2022!
