about us
What started as three individual artists on separate journeys became something greater the moment their paths converged. Brought together by a shared love of soul, storytelling, and authentic expression, Mariah Scott, ATARA, and Kurrent formed a collective rooted in the belief that music is most powerful when it is lived, felt, and shared. Their coming together was not forced or manufactured; it was a natural alignment of sound, spirit, and purpose.
As a group, they bring a soulful, immersive live experience that is deeply rooted in connection and community. Their sound draws from R&B, soul, spoken word, and storytelling, weaving together genres and emotions into something that feels both familiar and entirely new. Together, they create a performance environment that does not just entertain but moves people in ways they do not always expect.
When they take the stage, they bring more than music. They bring a collective of seasoned, nationally recognized artists who understand the responsibility of performance and the privilege of being given a platform. United by their artistry and driven by their shared vision, they show up fully, every time.
