What are the steps to success? Do what you love. Keep doing what you love. Keep going. About Hanna PK Hanna PK is a solid pianist, soulful vocalist, and vibrant performer, born and raised in South Korea, currently residing in Rochester, NY. She plays a wide variety of the blues & swing, old school folk, and boogie-woogie. She has a dynamic songwriting style - ranging from a funky tune with socially conscious lyrics to a mournful slow blues, from a pop-edged ballad to an uplifting swinging number, and from barrelhouse boogie to jazz. Her seemingly sweet and soft-spoken appearance often leads to surprise when hearing her rich, resonating voice that goes from a whisper to belting with intensity. Her piano style is much more lyrical and imaginative than simply repeating so-called “licks”, though she knows when to toss them in the mix for a thrill, and is always in the groove. And what draws the audience closer to her heartfelt, honest music are her genuine passion, and the originality that comes from within.

Can we take care of ourselves while also taking care of our community? Jett Galindo thinks so.

Jett Galindo carries on the legacy left behind by her late mentor, mastering legend Doug Sax (The Mastering Lab). Recipient of Summa Cum Laude honors and the 2012 Robin Coxe-Yeldham Audio Scholar Award from Berklee College of Music, Jett Galindo was mentored by luminaries in the music industry including George Massenburg; producer Prince Charles Alexander; recording engineer Susan Rogers (Prince’s Purple Rain); and mastering engineer and AES President-elect, Jonathan Wyner.

What is the next right step? This is the question author June Gervais asks herself every time she sits down to write. June Gervais's debut novel, Jobs for Girls with Artistic Flair (Pamela Dorman Books/Viking Penguin, June 2022), is a coming-of-age love story about a young queer woman striving to make it as a tattoo artist in the gritty, male-dominated tattoo industry of the 1980s. Jobs for Girls with Artistic Flair has been featured in The New York Times, Newsday, Shondaland, Autostraddle, Ploughshares, and Lambda Literary's "Most Anticipated LGBTQIA+ Literature," and praised by Booklist, Publisher's Weekly, and Kirkus Reviews as "thoughtful and tender," "charming," "immersive and wholly alive...original and a pleasure to read." June's essays and stories have appeared in Lit Hub, Writer’s Digest, Sojourners, The Common, Cordella, Big Fiction, The Missouri Review, and elsewhere. Alongside writing, her many jobs have included shelving library books and taking classified ads, graphic design and grassroots org
