His stage presence amplifies these contrasts, creating an experience that is both energized and intimate. Releasing his debut album in 2025, Lennon KC’s ‘Manic Pixie Dream Boy’ navigates selfhood with a soundscape featuring 90’s grunge, indie rock, hip-hop, and bedroom pop.

Katzin
Born in Alexandria, Virginia, Zion Battle spent his early childhood in Pasadena before moving to North Carolina for elementary school and then Manhattan in fifth grade. His debut album as Katzin, Buckaroo, weaves a lifetime of varied influences into a charged portrait of the transition between adolescence and adulthood. The record draws upon symbols of the mythologized American West – cowboys, horses, vast deserts, rolling plains, ancient rock formations – to trace that leap from childhood in all its unsteady shine.
