The Inside Out


James Howard, John Landino, Andi Wright, and Zack Apuzzo have joined forces to share a creative vision as the Connecticut-based band The Inside Out.


Individually, their musical journeys are diverse and well-seasoned. Together, they strive to provide familiar tunes with a fresh perspective that indie/alt fans have been craving.


Since its formation, The Inside Out has been gaining notoriety throughout the New York tri-state area and beyond with its thrilling sound that incorporates influences from rock bands such as The Killers, Modest Mouse, and The Strokes, and has made multiple appearances at Launch Music Conference in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.


In November 2022, the band released its 11-track debut album “No Brains, No Blood.” and followed the project’s success with its popular single “Mr. Arrogant” in August 2023, as well as the singles “Too Late” and “Good Times” in 2024. The quartet is currently working on its highly anticipated forthcoming album “Road Trip,” which is slated for release in 2025.


Justin Charles


Justin Charles is a 22-year-old singer-songwriter, producer, and self-described "pop boy" on a mission to bring larger-than-life pop music back to center stage. Inspired by the confident energy of artists like Justin Timberlake and Justin Bieber's Believe era, he blends booming production, infectious hooks, and modern storytelling into a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

A lifelong creator, Justin taught himself music production at just 10 years old and still produces much of his music from his bedroom. Beyond the music itself, he takes a hands-on role in every aspect of his project, from visual direction and styling to content creation and marketing.

His DIY approach has helped him build an audience of over 25,000 followers on TikTok, where he shares his journey as an independent artist while cultivating a growing community around his music. His career highlights include performing on a nationwide tour with Boys of Summer (a popular influencer event/concert), appearing twice at Playlist Live, and currently preparing for his East Coast tour in 2026. Most recently, he was nominated regionally in his hometown for Pop Artist of the Year at the 2026 Eddies Awards.

At a time when few artists are embracing the classic pop boy archetype, Justin Charles is proudly leaning into it. Equal parts songwriter, producer, creative director, and performer, he's redefining what being a "pop boy" means in the 21st century.


Phatt James


Since their formation in 2018, Phatt James has made waves throughout Connecticut with their distinct alternative rock/ pop sound. The band quickly gained attention with the release of their debut album, “Just Begun,” in 2023. Now in 2024, Phatt James shows no signs of slowing down, promising even more exciting music and memorable shows in the future.
