Razteria is a multicultural independent music producer with roots in Bolivia, Europe and USA. Her music can be described as a cross between early No Doubt and Los Aterciopelados. Aventurera, her 5th album charted on CMJ 2016 New World Music and her tracks have been licensed by MTV's True Life series. She has performed throughout the Americas and Europe. Razteria just returned from an 8-month long production during which she collaborated with groups, musicians and engineers from Argentina, Bolivia, Colombia, USA and beyond.

Rahman Jamaal is a writer, actor, musician, emcee, filmmaker, and teaching artist.

Jamaal wrote the first Visual & Performing Arts (VPA) and Common-Core standards-based Emcee/Spoken Word Curriculum in California, which he began implementing in schools, non-profits, and the juvenile justice system in 2004. He uses his path as a performer to collaborate with a unique network of talent through organizations such as Hip Hop Congress, a 15-year 501c3 nonprofit for which he began serving as Executive Director in 2015.
