Kadesh Flow
Brass and Boujee, The Phantastics
Kadesh Flow is a Billboard charting rapper, trombonist, and producer who has been wowing both suspecting and unsuspecting listeners with his musical versatility since his early teens. Kadesh actively blends his jazz and hip hop backgrounds into riveting musical performances that boast personal, dexterous lyricism and bold trombone playing. Kadesh’s wide reaching content hops from socioeconomic musings to life bars that are laced with anime and video game references, some of which have led to placement opportunities with Toonami Asia and various documentaries and web series.\
Nate Allen
Nate Allen is a husband, father, friend, mystic, writer and songsmith (Destroy Nate Allen / Nate Allen & The Pac-Away Dots) based in Kansas City, Missouri. With his new endeavor Good Saint Nathanael, Nate ventures into quiet, very vulnerable new territory. Hide No Truth, the project debut, has been hailed by critics as “an introspective masterwork” (IDIOTEQ), “a treasure worth reflecting upon time and time again” (A Diverse Sound), and “an earnest, melancholic, and impossible to forget album” (SpinDitty).
Tessa Allen
Tessa Allen has been preparing taxes since 2009. She started Tessa Tax in 2011 and is a federally recognized Enrolled Agent, earning the privilege to represent taxpayers before the Internal Revenue Service. When she’s not doing taxes, she’s a new mom and plays rock and roll in a band with her husband. She understands how to help musicians, artists and small business owners figure out what they need to keep track of and how to best approach their business endeavors. Her birthday is on April 15th, so we guess she was born to do this…
Kyle Harsha
Kyle Harsha is not your conventional “finance guy”. Instead of taking the traditional route of getting an MBA and working for a large firm, he graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree from Kansas State University in 1999, and has worked in the restaurant, wine, coffee, entertainment, HVAC, and tech industries. This varied work history has given him the keen ability to sit down with people, help them determine what their dreams are, and guide them in creating a strategy that will enable them to prosper. When he isn’t working with clients you will likely find him smoking briskets, fishing, or rooting for the Wildcats and Chiefs. Oh, and you’ll rarely ever see him wearing a tie.
Michelle Bacon
Michelle Bacon is one of the strongest advocates for Kansas City’s vibrant music community. As a content writer at 90.9 The Bridge, she promotes local music discovery, reports topics relevant to the community and engages diverse voices. She has also worked as a contributing writer for The Kansas City Star and Ink, editor of The Deli Magazine—Kansas City, and an acting band manager. Michelle is currently a copy and grant writer at Midwest Music Foundation, an independent music publicist, and an active musician with a number of local and touring bands.
