Aaron graduated from Omega Studios’ School of Applied Recording Arts and Sciences (Rockville, MD, DMV area) in 2004, and is currently working with numerous artists from South Florida and other places in the country.

David Kennedy


Born in New York City and raised primarily in Jamaica, Kennedy began his career as an engineer at Byron Lee’s Dynamic Sounds in Kingston, after graduating from NYC’s Institute for Audio Research. His career in recording has never been typical. It was a chance encounter with Bob Marley, and subsequent time spent around the late legend in Miami, that encouraged him on his career path.

Lyriq Tye


Tye is an ordained minister, singer-song writer, activist and restorative justice practitioner. Tye is an emerging recording artist described as the “Lauryn Hill of the South.” Known for their versatile cadence, introspective lyricism, and their controversial questioning, they’re often regarded as one of Miami’s best kept secrets. Their song writing credits include lyrics sung by Mya, K. Michelle and many others. They are deeply committed to easing the suffering of people impacted by incarceration given their own history with incarceration.

The Release
