About Tiana Kocher:
Tiana Kocher is on a mission. She believes that everyone has the ability to create beautiful things, no matter who they are or where they come from. She aspires to motivate others to be unapologetically themselves.
Tiana has been on the rise ever since she dropped her first track, “Just My Type”, which hit the Top 40 Indie Chart in 2019. Adding to her resume, her music has appeared in a Cîroc commercial, the motion picture What Men Want, and led to a series of collaborations with some of music’s royalty, like T-Boz & Chili from TLC, Sage the Gemini and Faith Evans.
Growing up between her mother’s home in Manila and her father’s in Los Angeles, Tiana was determined to create something beautiful herself. Her interest in the arts led her to Cambridge where she studied acting, but the move helped reveal her true calling, music. Now, with her focus on writing and recording, Tiana is determined to hone her natural talents and share them with the world. It appears to be paying off.
What does Tiana think? Her number one lesson is “you’re put on this earth to be you.” And luckily for us, that’s exactly what she’s doing.

Filipino American New York Native Mark Teodosio takes us to the Big Apple for our first #MYXTraks outside of our Los Angeles studios. Catch Mark as he performs his track “Bayani Lo-Fi” live on this latest episode of MYX Traks.
About Mark:
The ancestors and angels aligned over Filipino-American, Mark Teodosio, born in Sunset Park, Brooklyn. His growth in the most notorious Hip Hop Mecca in the world set the tone for this warrior with words through the gritty experience of growing up during the late 90s and early 2000s when originality mattered, the street codes were held higher and the culture of Hip Hop was at its peak.
Forged from then to now, evolving from studio to stage Mark has dropped two albums “Be Your Own Hero” in 2019, a string of singles during the 2020 quarantine to finally release a “Bayani Soundtrack” in 2021. He hasn’t compromised his quality for a pop image or sound but displays that versatility of making world appealing music with songs like “CHANGES” from the Bayani Soundtrack & “Afterglow” from his previous release.
While dropping musician recent years the Fil-Am Native New Yorker decided to transition into writing a comicbook series called the Realest Bayani in 2018 (Bayani = Hero in Tagalog) inspired by the suicide of his cousin, Marlon Ramos (name of protagonist) and an ode to Mark’s own self realization as a product of the Filipino diaspora. This comicbook includes aspects of precolonial Filipino history, superhero origins mixed with indigenous mythologies of the islands as well as a darker version of our near future. Currently his self publishing company TCNY: The City Needs You has published 4 Issues of the series funded by 2 successful Kickstarter campaigns with plans on dropping the final books in 2022.
Choosing to authentically represent Filipino culture in a medium like American comicbooks & Hip Hop as a music genre is not an easy mission and has been an uphill, but glorious journey for Mark T. The Filipino Street Hero has yet to be unmasked for the world to see until then time will tell who’s the realest.

His image graced multiple billboards across the metro, TV commercials on both leading networks in the Philippines, and print ads across the country.

In 2020, Just Stef was discovered by the former Global Head of Songwriter & Producer Relations at Spotify, Tiffany Kumar, who was building her Beat House production company. Tiffany started sending songs to Stef who like so many of today’s artists had already learned how to record herself. One of those songs was “Miss U Miss Me,” penned by hit songwriters Chelsea Lena and Kennedi Lykken (Dua Lipa, Kiana Ledé) and produced by KyleYouMadeThat (NLE Choppa, Coi Leray) and Rice N Peas.
Just Stef initially previewed a snippet of the track to her 2.2 million TikTok followers, and it exploded right out of the gate. The teaser alone has racked up millions of views, hundreds of thousands of “likes,” and tens of thousands of comments. Keyboards and 808s energize an off-kilter hummable beat as she flexes her impressive vocal range and delivers an undeniable hook, “I miss you, you miss me, let’s make it easy, tell me the same thing.”
