Radio One Chicago

A social experience filled with cultural vibes.

Anna P is a singer-songwriter from Chicago, IL. Her metaphoric lyrics, haunting melodies, and crystal-clear voice have propelled her to capture the attention of the local music scene and land gigs at legendary Chicago performance venues such as Cubby Bear, Navy Pier, and House of Blues’ Foundation Room. 


Her new EP ‘I Was an Iceberg’ is a chronicle through a mental breakdown following a heartbreak. The painfully honest lyrics of songs like “Hesitate” and “Waves” paint a scenery of the inner struggles of mental health.

Javier Orman is a violinist, composer, producer and teacher originally from Uruguay and based in Chicago.

He received his Master’s degree in Music from the University of Michigan and Bachelor’s in Music and Mathematics from the College of Charleston with full academic scholarships. Over the last 6 years, he has been writing, recording and performing with his violin-and-guitar duo KOZM, described as “the most rock ’n’ roll pair of classically trained musicians working today” by 21st Century Musician. He enjoys collaborating with great artists from all genres, including hip-hop singer/producer Skylar Grey, Grammy-winning singer/songwriter Duncan Sheik and Classical crossover pianist Christopher O’Riley (NPR’s From the Top).

Javier also produces electronic music as solo artist MLTFTR, inspired by literary and visual aesthetics of urban dystopias and retrowave musicians such as Com Truise, Tokimonsta and Home.

Javier has been teaching violin for 12 years in a variety of traditions including Classical, Rock and American Fiddle. He has guest-lectured and offered master-classes at the University of Wisconsin, College of William & Mary, Sphinx Performance Academy, Montecito Music Festival and others. In 2009, he founded Kidzymphony, a children’s orchestra program in Charleston, South Carolina, modeled after Venezuela’s El Sistema.

When Javier’s not performing or teaching, he enjoys arranging and recording strings for artists and producers such as Blänk, Essen Hiort and Cubeatz, as well as composing for video-games.

A former winner in 2012 of Placido Domingo’s prestigious Operalia competition and of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, American soprano, Janai Brugger, begins the 2015-16 season as Michaela Carmen at Washington National Opera, and sings the role again later in the season at Lyric Opera of Kansas. Identified by Opera News as one of their top 25 “brilliant young artists” (October 2015 issue), Janai joins the Metropolitan Opera for their Rising Stars concert series and makes several US concert appearances during the season, along with various recital performances. She makes her debut as Norina Don Pasquale at Palm Beach Opera, and returns to Los Angeles Opera to revive the role of Musetta La Boheme which she sings under the baton of Gustavo Dudamel.

“Fluffy” has been crafting her skills in the music scene forever. Her debut album WhoIsFluffy? was featured a handful of collaborations, most notably, James Franco (yes, THAT James Franco). Political and outspoken, Fluffy challenges your expectations of what an artist can be.

Half cuban, half black panther; it was Serengeti who kinged Fluffy. “U not a queen, U a king,” said Serengeti. With dual degrees in business and journalism you can be certain she is incredibly thoughtful and intelligent in her approach. Part mogul, part artist, dichotemy is no stranger here.

Music is stupid & intelligent; weird & somehow familiar. Her songs are brain-churning. Her sexiness is evident and her live show is captivating. Think Portishead meats Erykah Badu— her music massages the brain while tackling controversial topics like race and monogamy. Influences like Prince and Cudi are easy to hear.
