THE BAND

Nuša 🎤​

LEAD VOCALS · RHYTHM GUITAR

Although music was present in her life from a young age through playing guitar, Nuša Willenpart only began exploring singing seriously two years ago, after deciding to confront a long-held fear of using her voice. What started with vocal therapy lessons quickly evolved into a passion for performance. She now embraces the stage with playful freedom, and genuine self-expression.

Kyle 🎸​

LEAD GUITAR · SONGWRITING · VOCAL

​Kyle has been a singer-songwriter since he could grow facial hair. He started with high school rock bands in Canada, then made a giant (and super fun!) leap to children's music where he's performed 1,000+ shows around the globe. When he's not writing tunes or strumming chords, he's watching baseball at crazy late hours, swimming, and spending time with his daughter <3

Juan 🎸​

BASS GUITAR · BACKING VOCAL

​Juan Zuleta is a Colombian-Slovenian multidisciplinary artist - singer, composer, actor and writer - who moves between classical music, Latin American influences, musical theater, and rock and pop. He especially loves the music from the 70's and in his free time, he enjoys cinema, swimming and reading (especially chronicles, history and theater related material).
