FUGITIVE SUMMER

Fugitive Summer is an American pop/rock band originally formed in Chicago, Illinois. The band is comprised of five members: Savage (lead singer and guitarist), Kai Cook (bass), Kendrick Cook (drums), Ruby Connolly (keys and synth), and Titus Connolly (guitar). The band was originally formed as teens by brothers Kendrick and Kai, who then recruited Savage after he moved into their apartment complex. Shortly thereafter, the trio recruited twin siblings Titus and Ruby Connolly and the band hit its stride, ultimately snagging a global #1 smash hit and Grammy for the song, “Hate Sex High.”

LAILA FITZGERALD

Laila Fitzgerald is an American singer songwriter, originally from Whittier, California outside of Los Angeles. A classically trained pianist, Laila is known for her sumptuous, soulful voice and ability to deliver a song with immense emotion and range. She began composing songs on piano by age thirteen, and gained recognition on YouTube for her covers of other artists’ songs. At age eighteen, Laila signed with Gigantic Records. But after artistic differences with that label, she left and released music independently for two years. At age twenty, Laila was signed by River Records, and that’s when her self-titled debut album put Laila on the map. The album was certified gold and gained Laila a nomination at the Grammys for best new artist and a win for her producer, Zeke Emmanuel, as Grammy for Producer of the Year, Non-Classical. Laila is known for writing songs about her love life, much of it not flattering. However, she rarely confirms her relationships in the media, preferring instead to let her fans decode her lyrics and draw their own conclusions.
