SPECIAL PERFORMANCE by Ikonic, One20, and Kweli!

Introducing Ikonic, the visionary artist, hailing from Omaha, Nebraska!

Ikonic’s musical journey is shaped by a rich tapestry of influences spanning across genres and eras. From the soulful harmonies of the Doo Wop era to the timeless classics of Motown, Earth, Wind & Fire, and the Isley Brothers, his eclectic taste knows no bounds. Icons like Marvin Gaye, Whitney Houston, Luther Vandross, Prince, Michael Jackson, Snoop Dogg, Dr. Dre, Twista, and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony have left an indelible mark on his musical soul.

For Ikonic, the greatest challenge for any emerging artist lies in discovering their true identity and staying authentic to their unique sound. Together with his Squad, Ikonic has mastered the art of authenticity, staying true to themselves and their music, a reflection of their genuine essence.

To newcomers and aspiring artists, Ikonic offers sage advice: Embrace your authenticity and strive to be a trendsetter rather than a trend follower. In a world saturated with imitation, authenticity is the key to standing out and making a lasting impact.

With a sound that embodies positivity and upliftment, Ikonic’s music transcends genres, delivering a universal message of joy and empowerment.

Kweli‘s love for music has deep roots, inspired by his grandfather, the late Prof. Charles Miller, the first black graduate from UNO with a master’s degree in music. This influential figure instilled a profound love for music in Kweli from a young age.

Drawing inspiration from a diverse range of artists such as Brian McKnight, Donnell Jones, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, and Do or Die, Kweli’s creative process is a tribute to his grandfather’s legacy.

When crafting music, Kweli stands out by using a guitar instead of the conventional keyboard beats that surround him. This unique approach adds a distinctive touch to his sound.

Reflecting on the current state of music production, Kweli observes a prevalence of likeness among artists, particularly in the realm of auto-tune rap. He aims to break away from this trend and bring authenticity and individuality to his work.

Join Kweli on his musical journey, where heritage, and a commitment to uniqueness converge. 🎶🎸 #Kweli #OmahaMusicScene #UniqueSound #MusicalHeritage

One20millz, an artist hailing from Omaha, Nebraska! One20millz, also known as One20, found his calling in music when he witnessed his big brother stepping into the studio and dropping rap songs.

At the age of 20, inspired by his brother, One20 broadened his musical horizons, diving into the realm of R&B hits.

In the vibrant hip-hop culture, One20 draws inspiration from influential figures like Eminem, Mystikal, Lil Wayne, Tech N9ne, and more. His unique approach involves introspection, often studying his own old lyrics to maintain authenticity. In the current era, he credits the Lord for guiding him toward cleaner musical expressions.
