Ifamodupe

Ifamodupe wears many hats; the singer, the activist, and the writer remain ever-searching to quench her creative goals. From a Bay area urbanite to a national wonder she has made Sacramento her home captivating audiences with her presence. Her range of experience travels from the studio to the theater’s stage. Beginning her career with Sacramento’s first Spoken Word Slam Team then being a part of the poet's group Supercaliflowlinguistics to releasing three solo EPs. Ifamodupe has been in the music scene for over a decade and with every year her skills and knowledge have only heightened as well as the increased hunger inside of her to push the envelope and venture into other possibilities. From wielding her pen in defense of the god particle to using her voice to touch, move, and inspire, to contributing to the community through her work in equity and arts education; she is a thespian, founder, and creator.

Carla Fleming

Carla Fleming is an acclaimed singer/songwriter with an extensive career in performing arts and commercial music. It has been Carla’s mission to blend her passion of entertainment with the power of her voice to effect change, and for over 15 years she has uplifted listeners through music that gives insight without being preachy. The recent re-release of the album DOMESTIC DISTURBANCE has given voice and answers to the age-old question of why it’s hard to break free from the cycle of domestic violence.

When she isn’t performing, her time is spent in the studio creating new music or learning lines for her next acting role. As an actor she has appeared in a variety of stage and film projects, including THE JACKIE WILSON STORY, PIPELINE, POLAR BEARS BLACK BOYS & PRAIRIE FRINGED ORCHIDS, SPELL #7 & BLACK PEARL SINGS with Celebration Arts Theater.

Joe Archie

Joe Archie is a Gold Platinum, Grammy, Billboard charting Songwriter and Producer who currently arranges and composes music for various artists in film and television. Being a P.K. (preacher’s kid) with strong church roots, Joe began learning to play multiple instruments “on the fly”. The music industry was his dream, and at the age of 17 he got his chance as a drummer. He began touring all over the world and worked with many A list artists including Snoop Dogg, T.I., Loretta Devine, Dwele and Katt Williams. Joe quickly started learning how to create songs, as well as sequence multiple instruments which earned him platinum song credits for music production, live arrangements and songwriting. The opportunity to create for television came when Joe was invited to compose 9 episodes of “Noah’s Arc” with Meshell N’degeocello for THE LOGO CHANNEL (a sub station of VH1). This experience of bringing film to life through the marriage of beautiful music sparked another creative volt. Soon commercials followed - McDonalds, Burger King, Ford, BET, MTV, The Word Network, Comcast, Sirius XM - along with music programs in school (jazz, concert, gospel choir, etc) which expanded Joe’s knowledge of instrumentation, composition and arrangements. “I’m a product of the impact of music and media arts” he once said, which prompted the commitment to ensure the arts is given as an opportunity to the inner city and its youth. Joe currently serves on the Music and Digital Media Arts commission at the California Department of Education.
