Donovan Duvall, known by his stage name Dono Dono, has followed his passion for music since inception. Born and raised in Northern Virginia, just outside of DC, he began playing percussion in the school orchestra at the age of 8, but it wasn't until he received his first drum set at 12 that his passion for music took off. As a young adult, DonoDono played in several bands throughout high school and college and discovered his love for production and beat-making, inspired by electro-house music his older sister introduced him to.
Dono Dono completed his degree in Jazz Percussion and Performance at Guilford College, where he honed his instrumental skills and began experimenting with beat-making. Influenced by diverse musical artists such as Daft Punk, Led Zeppelin, D'Angelo, Radiohead, Disclosure, Tame Impala, and Chick Corea, DonoDono's music defies traditional genre classifications.
His debut EP "Prom" is a collection of introspective tracks that touch on a variety of themes, including masculinity, sexuality, grief, relationships, stress, and love. Through his music, Dono Dono shares his personal experiences and the expectations that come with them, creating a unique and impactful sound that resonates with listeners.

ViRG is a synth-based indie rock band from Virginia formed by Piano Whitman. ViRG is centered around femininity and freedom while highlighting the whiplash of an unstable lifestyle, guilt, and the devastation of love. Whitman’s commanding voice is reinforced by intricate, lush synthesizers and strong rhythms produced by both drum-machines and acoustic percussion. Fans of both straight ahead indie-pop songwriting or the moody tech excursions of ‘Kid A’ will find something to enjoy in ViRG’s repertoire.
