Anowa Antwi
Anowa Antwi is a 23 year old Ghanaian-American DJ on hiatus, currently struggling with agoraphobia. She is an anxious daydreamer, who is artistic, playful, rebellious, and carries a strong sense of justice. She loves music and food, and stims by having her favorite song on repeat. She loves bringing people together, but has a hard time with social interactions, so music and DJing help her do that. Anowa recently graduated from university with a degree in Graphic Design during the pandemic, and is currently taking a gap year to figure out what she wants to do. After scheduling a pick me up hair appointment with her old friend Etinosa, Anowa decides to venture out and reconnect with her community, starting with a visit to the Old World Market. She likes expressing herself through her accessories and hairstyles. She typically plays afrobeats, amapiano, house, bounce, r&b and hip-hop when she deejays.

Maaliyah (32) can't seem to stay out of news for better or (mostly) worse. After her last incident in the public eye, Maaliyah fired her entire pr team and sought out new management, aka Chloe Williams at Sunshine PR. She hates poor people, her "obsessive fans", and most of all -- anyone who tries to tell her she's wrong.
Chloe Williams (26) is constantly juggling different personas. Career climber, “responsible” daughter, pilates master, PR Queen, and code switch extraordinaire are just to name a few. DEF has major anxiety because of this.
