About the artists:

Fahad Siadat creates interdisciplinary pieces that reclaim and redefine sacred music and “border on being a spiritual journey” (LA Dance Chronicle). His work is described by the press as “evoking wonder, desire, and terror” (Off Broadway), “hypnotic” (Backstage) and having “a sophisticated harmonic vocabulary” (San Diego Story).

Fahad is the director of the Resonance Collective, a multifaceted organization which explores and expands our definition of sacred music. He is also the director and singing member of LA’s premiere new music vocal ensemble HEX.

Fahad maintains a robust performing and recording schedule and has performed as soloist with such groups as LA’s groundbreaking opera company The Industry, and the Grammy Award-Winning ensemble PARTCH, as well as on recordings for artists such as Daniel Lentz and WildUp.His music has been performed in Europe, China, and across the United States.

Jahan Yousaf is an independent songwriter, vocalist, producer, and international touring artist of the electronic dance music duo, Krewella, alongside her sister Yasmine. As a recent student of Hindustani classical music, her personal musical journey currently explores merging inspirations of her Pakistani heritage with a focus on using the voice as a channel to unlock repressed emotions and delve into the subconscious.

She is passionate about examining the relationship to the voice, and feelings around being heard, as a mirror for how we speak up & express our truth in the world. As a supporter of a humanitarian aid project in Pakistan called Nagar Women’s Health House, and a member of the artist advisory board for the nonprofit organization In Place of War, Jahan is inspired to use her platform, resources, and voice to foster community and uplift those overlooked by society.
