XVI— Raw and Unapologetic
Raw and unapologetically honest, XVI (pronounced 16th) brings his life, love and tribulations into every verse he raps. Growing up on 16th Avenue in a tough neighborhood of East Bradenton, Florida (where XVI indubitably got his name), XVI found himself in and out of public schools and detention centers. "Eat or be eaten" was the mantra he lived by which became his truth and a byproduct of growing up in such strenuous of environments. It wasn't until moving to Clearwater where his life took a new turn, finding himself among other music innovators that took notice of XVI's musical talent. These relationships helped set a foundation for XVI to harness his musical skill and create a platform to release his music. Known for his attention to detail, intricate word plays, and concept driven raps, XVI continues to personify his journey through his music.

Jacob Handy
My name is Jacob "Hayden" Handy, I was born April 25th, 2001, in Toronto Ontario, Canada. Growing up, my dad was a very hardworking man, but in his free time, he loved playing the bass. He loved music, and just like my father, my mother loved music as well. Occasionally my mother would sing for my twin brother and me as we sat and listened, she taught us to be ourselves even if we seemed goofy since I was a shy kid. Down the line of my childhood, I gradually started to pick up traits from both my parents, and I even started singing a bit at the age of three. I was passionate about singing at a very young age and knew that I wanted to be a performer. I felt this greater passion towards singing when my parents would play Janet Jackson or Sade on the television, the soft angelic female voices appealed more to my ears than any other. I got used to listening to the female singers, thus why I only knew how to sing high notes as opposed to now. Now my voice range has extended, I can do bass and Sapreno parts, but it is currently not documented.
