Obeah
They say it takes 10+ years to become an overnight success…
Obeah has been cutting his teeth for damn near two decades in America’s independent music scene, performing across the country, all the while remaining true to his desire to serve a cause greater than his own. Raised in Columbus, GA and now residing in Atlanta, Adam’s southern influence is undeniable but this Renaissance Man could never be defined by one genre, occupation or geographic region.
In addition to being an Activist, Sommelier, and talented DJ, Obeah’s true passion is opening closed-minds through poetic expression. Inspired by the legends like Chuck D and KRS-One, Obeah uses his lyrical platform to encourage the masses to stop accepting the bullshit status quo.
Some of Obeah’s most notable music projects include, The ContraVerse, Difference Machine, WAKE, and DJ Lord>2muchPossE. When Adam is not rapping, spinning records, or blind-tasting wines, you can find him fighting for justice through various outlets.

Abby Dear
Abby Dear is an Atlanta-based producer and DJ who makes experimental dance music. She got her musical start DJing as a child and quickly found a knack for it which she continues to refine to this day. Later, in her early 20’s, she began releasing original music covering a wide range of genres under the name “Deku” and produced records for herself as well as the Atlanta band, Waking Astronomer (as well as a flurry of remixes for friends and others). A renowned performer, she has also had the honor of playing alongside Dabrye, Shigeto, Samiyam, MONO/POLY, MNDSGN, James Blake, Astronautica, Martyn, Lord Raja, Daedelus, Prefuse 73, Big Gipp, Taylor McFerrin, Young Fathers, Blue Sky Black Death, Com Truise, Deantoni Parks, Richard Divine, LSDXOXO and Free the Robots (among others). She is a resident member of the VLSC Records crew and affiliate of several other renowned dance crews in the South and abroad
Affirmations, the debut album by Abby Dear (fka Deku) arrives 4 years after the last, and the first since her alias change. It is an ode to affirmations of all kinds.
