BIO

Eunice Batha is a creative artist and organiser whose ambition is to contribute to the promotion of the Black and Afrodescendant artistic community, and more particularly of musical artists in Brussels.

Selene Alexa is a freelance Event Curator, PR, and A&R specialist in visual identity and content creation. After working primarily on PR campaigns, she soon began coaching creatives and supporting artists' debuts. In 2021, she started working as a freelancer with international music producers. As a visual creative, she brings her vision to her own projects to bring new perspectives to the music industry. Together with her 'Customs & Borders' team, she also develops new ways of curation. With productions such as 'Trap Queens', she wants to have a meaningful impact on the importance of representation in the cultural field.

Kipili is a 22-year-old artist from Brussels of Congolese origins who mixes pop, R&B and a touch of reggae. In 2021, she released the single "Milshake" on the Tiny House label and launched the video series "Dans ma zone".
