About DAX:
Daniel Nwosu Jr., better known as the artist Dax, shows no signs of stopping after riding a wave of success that has led to nearly four billion global career streams. Dax released a slew of fan-favorite singles in 2025, following his country-infused breakout song “Dear Alcohol,” which amassed over 350M streams and his genre-blending viral hit “Lonely Dirt Road,” leading to his Lonely Dirt Road headline tour last fall. The tour sold out, hitting major cities worldwide including Chicago, Los Angeles, New York and more. In 2026, Dax continues to build on that success with more new music, starting with the release of “Temptation,” “God, Can You Hear Me?” and “Caught You In The Bed,” out now. More new music and headline tour dates are on the horizon.
Sparked by his millions of devoted followers on TikTok, Dax has amassed over 48 million followers across his social platforms. He has collaborated with Darius Rucker, Elle King and Maverick City Music. His music has found space blending genres and has appeared on numerous Billboard charts, Spotify’s Viral 50 (US + Global) chart. He has received multiple Platinum certifications for “Dear Alcohol,” “Lonely Dirt Road” and “To Be A Man” ft. Darius Rucker. He has performed live on NBC News, ABC News and TODAY.
About La Luz:
“I was in a dream, but now I can see that change is the only law.”
With a credo adapted from sci-fi author Octavia E. Butler, an album title from a collection of metaphysical poetry, and an expansion in consciousness brought on by personal crisis, guitarist/songwriter learns to embrace a changing world with unconditional love on ‘News of the Universe’, the new album from La Luz.
A record born of calamity, a work of dark, beautiful psychedelia reflecting Cleveland’s experience of having her world blown apart by a breast cancer diagnosis just 2 years after the birth of her son. It’s also a portrait of a band in flux, marking the first appearance for drummer Audrey Johnson and the final ones from longtime bassist Lena Simon and keyboardist Alice Sandahl, whose contributions add a bittersweet edge to a record that is both elegy for an old world and cosmic road map to a strange new one.
Unashamedly vulnerable, unabashedly feminine, and undeniably triumphant, the release is another knockout record from a band so reliably great that it has perhaps led people to overlook how pioneering La Luz really are: women of color in indie music forging their own path by following their own artistic star into galaxies beyond musical trends, always led by an earnest belief in the cosmic power of love and a great riff. Never is that more true than on this album, which might be La Luz’s most brutal record to date but also their most blissful. After everything, how could it not?

“I was in a dream, but now I can see that change is the only law.”
With a credo adapted from sci-fi author Octavia E. Butler, an album title from a collection of metaphysical poetry, and an expansion in consciousness brought on by personal crisis, guitarist/songwriter learns to embrace a changing world with unconditional love on ‘News of the Universe’, the new album from La Luz.
A record born of calamity, a work of dark, beautiful psychedelia reflecting Cleveland’s experience of having her world blown apart by a breast cancer diagnosis just 2 years after the birth of her son. It’s also a portrait of a band in flux, marking the first appearance for drummer Audrey Johnson and the final ones from longtime bassist Lena Simon and keyboardist Alice Sandahl, whose contributions add a bittersweet edge to a record that is both elegy for an old world and cosmic road map to a strange new one.
Unashamedly vulnerable, unabashedly feminine, and undeniably triumphant, the release is another knockout record from a band so reliably great that it has perhaps led people to overlook how pioneering La Luz really are: women of color in indie music forging their own path by following their own artistic star into galaxies beyond musical trends, always led by an earnest belief in the cosmic power of love and a great riff. Never is that more true than on this album, which might be La Luz’s most brutal record to date but also their most blissful. After everything, how could it not?
