COLLABORATORS#MassivelyEpic collaborators are independent artists, musicians and content creators. Everyone has their own individual career and brand which they are developing, growing and managing.

The #MassivelyEpic collective offers these individuals or groups of individuals a network they can tap into and work with to further develop their careers.

From a former Ultra Records recording artist and actress, to a nationally known DJ, to underground Hip Hop rock band, to electronic duo..

Collaborators are all full time artists, each individually working on their own projects, in addition to group projects with the collective for events, the radio show or #MusicMonday.

From working with Grammy award winning producer Sandy Vee (Katy Perry, Rihanna, Britney Spears), to winning LOGO TV’s New Now Next Awards Brink Of Fame Music Artist, to being featured in NEW YORK MAGAZINE’s winter Look Book, and the New York Post’s Page 6 (when Jude Law was almost caught in a “model mosh-pit” at one of her shows).

Bella Saona has found herself landing on ELIE TAHARI’s NY Fashion Week front page, while penning the theme song for MTV’s HOUSE OF JAZMIN.

Signing to ULTRA RECORDS in 2011 as a solo artist she has had the opportunity to work with the top producers, and remixers the EDM world has to offer.

For her it’s all about the Music. The fashion fun and flare, is just icing on the cake.Bella will also be adding leading lady to that multi-layered cake when she starts filming her first acting role in 2013 which she will be executive producer on, written and directed by Robert LA Force (Pop Star 2010) and tentatively titled “Little Wicked” (After one of Bella’s songs).

Invisible Garden’s list of influences is uncomfortably wide. It could be 50’s sitcoms, haunted mermaids, or post-modern architecture; they always seem to find inspiration in strange places. The result— a refreshing take on electronic-pop music.

They often aim for the pleasure center, but there is plenty to unpack in these songs; subtleties that promise a rewarding experience for the listener who cares to dive deeper.

Invisible Garden has intentionally made their live set a completely different experience. They’ve tailored their songs into a seamless ‘DJ-like’ set, and brought in visuals to mix an immersive array of ‘stream –of-consciousness’ of visuals.

Their stated goal; “put on a show that’s equal parts art-exhibition, and fucking bangin’ dance party.” Well, if that’s the case, count us in. #letsgo!

The new company model is focused on a strategic and collaborative approach to developing and distributing content.
