Artist

My mother named me Bryan, the homies renamed me Vealinium. I grew up in Lakewood where blood didn’t make you kin.
I began my craft as a writer at 7 and did not stop. With several projects and live performances under my belt, I thought it was time to create a universe for artists and musicians alike to mesh on one Kowch.
As an artist and a leader my role is to create the energy and place needed for ideas to blossom.

Jaziré is a black female singer songwriter and is best known as being catchy inspirational and authentic specializing in r&b, soul and spoken word music. Jazire  has collaborated and performed with Vealinium, Race to the Light, Jovani, Wax the Producer, 100 KLVN, Ricardo Estavon, Why$e Guy, Wavy XEL,and Raul ESKO. She has released  her debut EP J is for Jaziré on August of 2020 and her single  Wondering in July of  2021.  

What’s good wit it. My name is WHY$eGUY, aka. Jalen Penn, The prettiest Kowch Surfer. Lakewood Native and now reside in ___Tacoma__. I have been singing/rapping for ____6 years__ . I would have to say my inspirations are Childish Gambino and Mac Miller because they speak their truths in create and inspiring ways. In my spare time I do theater arts productions in the community, write (skits, shows, poetry), and and am an aspiring (very new) comedian and podcast personality. 

DJ Crico moved here from Naples, Italy, and easily fit in with the Tacoma crowd. Italian chef during the day and DJ by night. He’s gradually becoming one of the freshest up-and-coming DJs in Tacoma. The energy that he brings on the stage is unique he calls it “fresh” and “exotic” if Crico is spinning music you know that the night is going to be lit!

My name is Kelvin Penn and I am the President of Kowchsurferz Anonymous. My background is in music production, song writing, live event production, and stream production. I am a Washington native and I care deeply about my hometown of the Greater Tacoma area. I know there is a lot of potential in this town and I want to see it thrive. I am a very easy going individual and believe that we need each other as people to survive in this world. "Treat others as you wish to be treated."

Hey my name is Raul Escobar, aka. Baby Drake. 

Born and raised in lakeland, FL. I have been singing/rapping since 13. Professionally, A little under a year. I would have to say my inspirations are my kids because they keep me going day in and day out . In my spare time I do enjoy being a father and writing 

I honestly never saw myself pursuing music professionally at all but this is my outlet. 

Race to the Light is a band that calls Tacoma, Wa home and that will always give you an energetic show! Kelvin (pianist/singer), Evan (guitarist), Pete (drummer), DeVaughn (singer), and Leonia (singer) are the members that create the nostalgic yet futuristic sound that will always get you moving. Inspired by all  genres and sounds from 90’s RnB and early 2000s Punk Rock for some examples they always ask one another to think outside the box when it comes to their sound. 

Tacoma born rapper and producer, XEL, started his music career with satirical songs with his friends in an attic. Those friends soon became the band "Hanging From the Rafters" who released "Girl: The Album" in January of 2020. Releasing that album made XEL's thirst for making music unquenchable. This desire for greatness pushed him to produce, arrange, write, record, and mix his entire first EP "North West Til Death" RIP DOOM
