Artist Statement: My name is Abiodun Timothy. I am from Nigeria. I'm a visual contemporary Artist, born February 22 1999 I grew up within circumstances that led to traumatic childhood to my teen age. I've been drawing since I was 5, but I stopped, picked up again at 12 to 16, stopped again and now I have totally devoted myself to my art since 2020... I'm not quitting again.. there were some incidents that surrounded my quitting those years, but these hardships are overcome now.

The Performers
MRS. FUNPANDEMIC |
MRS.FUN plays nu jazz. Complex, sophisticated and adventurous, their music is a unique blend of off-center jazz, ultra-funk, spoken word rap, and their own brand of neo-cabaret. Intelligent lyrics, stellar musicianship, and a dynamic stage presence are hallmarks of their music. The MRS.FUN sound is derived from Connie Grauer’s funky bass-driven keyboard playing, combined with Kim Zick’s skillful in-the-pocket drumming. “ Grauer is a piano player with few equals whose drive and energy spills across the stage and into the audience like nitrous oxide. She’s got a left hand that doesn’t quit, the mark of any great pianist, and a right hand with limitless boundaries”. Zick holds court as a “heart-stopping drummer” whose “grooves get so far out, most people need a map to get back.” Voted Best Contemporary Jazz Group by the Wisconsin Area Music Industry(WAMI) three consecutive years, Grauer and Zick have also received WAMI awards for Best Instrumentalist: keyboards and drums. Grauer has also received awards for Best Female Vocalist and Best Stage Entertainer.
