Edon Molic is a talented singer, songwriter, and producer hailing from New York City. He has collaborated with Grammy Award-winning artists and engineers, including Roberta Flack, BillyDecker, and Scott Hull, as well as "The Voice" finalist Janaki Easwar and hip-hop legend Da Brat. Edon has performed with renowned artists such as Alicia Keys, Dua Lipa, Tiffany Haddish, Boyz II Men, Niecy Nash, Mike Dean, and Dane Cook. In 2020, he wrote the theme song for the film MMM The Sound of Pain, which was shortlisted for the 93rd Academy Awards.

In August 2022, Edon was invited to open for J Balvin, Dua Lipa, and Diplo at the Sunny Hill
Festival in Kosovo. His music has been featured as the theme song for New York City’s
Brooklyn Marathon and has appeared in independent films and on radio stations across Europe, India, Asia, Africa, and the United States. Edon’s latest album, For Merita, achieved over 1 million streams in its first week, establishing him as a rising artist in the music industry. A defining moment in Edon’s musical journey occurred in the summer of 2014 when he had a chance encounter with the legendary Roberta Flack. Recognizing his extraordinary talent, Flack mentored Edon, helping him refine his craft and encouraging him to pursue a career in music. To this day, Roberta Flack continues to support and keep in touch with Edon.

Edon Molic has the ability to be the biggest name in music. His work ethic is absolutely
ridiculous. I will never forget meeting him in the summer of 2014. At the time, he was working as a porter in the building I lived in, and he would see me at 5 AM and beg for me to listen to him sing. No one does that. No one in their right mind wants to sing at 5 AM. I spent the remainder of the summer training him. This boy is special, and the world will hear him one day" - Roberta Flack
Before embarking on his music career, Edon was a standout basketball player, winning two
National High School Championships at St. Anthony High School and playing NCAA Division 1 basketball at St. Francis College. He was invited to play for Kosovo’s National basketball team but was unable to participate due to immigration status.


Bes Aliju is more than just a producer, singer, and DJ—he’s a multi-instrumentalist and sonic architect crafting a world that only he can see, hear, and feel. Hailing from the heart of New York City, this Albanian-American visionary brings an electrifying blend of R&B, Soul, Alternative Rock, Hip-Hop, House, and Electronic music, all shaped by the raw energy of his surroundings.
Having worked behind the scenes with major-label artists like NO1-NOAH and earning spins on Diplo’s SiriusXM station with his remix of Calvin Harris’ Potion, Bes has proven his ability to move crowds both in the studio and on the decks. His DJ sets have ignited top-tier venues such as the W Hotel, Williamsburg Hotel, and TimeOut Market, but now, he’s ready to take center stage in his own right.
For Bes, music isn’t just a passion—it’s survival. During a period of deep depression, music was the only thing that kept him alive, serving as both an escape and a lifeline. His upcoming debut EP, Deja-Nu, channels that raw emotion into a sound that is deeply personal yet universally resonant. His music isn’t confined to genres—it’s a reflection of lived experiences, emotions, and the ever-evolving rhythm of life itself. No one else has walked his path, but everyone can feel the energy, passion, and raw authenticity that fuels his art. This isn’t just music—it’s a journey, and Bes Aliju is inviting the world to come along.
