New Jersey native Claire Ernst is a pop/R&B artist now based out of Nashville, Tennessee. Accumulating over 5 million streams on Spotify alone, Claire Ernst has been evolving constantly since she began releasing at age 14. Her debut full length album, “Oh, Hello!”: a vibrant introduction of her artistry to the world. Striking a fresh balance of Nashville Songwriting, pop hooks, and R&B grooves, she is genre blending and bending with every new release. With the lyrical influences of Kacey Musgraves and Allen Stone, and the melodic influences of Yebba and PJ Morton, her unique, soulful sound is waiting to fall on the right ears. During Covid, Claire won the recognition of R&B star “H.E.R”, and has been growing her TikTok community ever since, garnering praise there from stars Jacob Collier, Jojo, Jason Derulo, and Andy Grammer.

Dani Offline is a songwriter, producer, and multi-instrumentalist making analog R&B for the 21st century. Inspired by jazz and classic “Quiet Storm” radio of the 70s, her sound is at once sensual and introspective, combining poetic lyricism, ethereal vocal improvisation, and retrofuturist sensibilities. Dani’s self-produced debut EP Mirror (2023) was featured by The FADER, Earmilk, KQED’s All Things Considered (NPR), and Spotify’s Fresh Finds R&B. She has built a devoted following online and in the Bay Area, performing two back-to-back sold out shows at SFJAZZ, headlining Cafe du Nord, and has shared stages with Madison McFerrin, Braxton Cook, Kiefer, and many more. Now based in LA and with her debut LP, Lover’s Discourse, on the horizon, 2026 is poised to be a breakout year for Dani Offline – a singular voice carving her path with intention, vulnerability, and undeniable craft.
