A Masterpiece Born at Home

Curated from the celebrated Lyrics Lab Open Mic event, this seven-track EP showcases five exceptional local artists whose voices capture the diversity and depth of South Florida’s creative landscape. Individually distinct, yet harmoniously united, these artists weave a rich tapestry of sound rooted in authenticity and passion.

Meet the voices behind the volume:

• Yasmeen Matri – A powerhouse singer-songwriter with a stunning four-octave range and commanding stage presence.
• Darnielle Thomas – A visionary blending Hip Hop and Soul with the heart of an artist, the mind of a teacher, and the drive of an entrepreneur.
• Jonas Arthur – A soulful gospel artist who brings uplifting messages of purpose and reflection through his music.
• Azrael Haze – A genre-blending innovator whose “otherworldly” sound fuses modern hip-hop with nostalgic old-school vibes.
• Matt Kelly – A musical architect layering guitar-driven melodies with R&B, hip-hop, and electronic textures for a truly immersive experience.

Also featured is the dynamic Sarahca Peterson, a gifted spoken word artist and founder of The Round Table, whose visionary leadership helped guide this project from concept to reality.

A Vision Fueled by Culture and Creativity

Spearheaded by the Pompano Beach Cultural Affairs Department in collaboration with The Round Table, this project stands as a tribute to the vibrant artistic spirit that thrives in the city. It’s a bold example of what happens when a community invests in its creative voices—not just as performers, but as storytellers, innovators, and cultural ambassadors.
