Ultraversary 7 Artist Spotlight: Sur Ellz

Khalil Arcady is a 23-year-old singer, songwriter, dancer and producer hailing from the city of Denver, CO. With a futuristic neo-soul appeal, he looks up to the ingenious minds of Pharrell, Timbaland, J Dilla, Maxwell, Prince, & Stevie Nicks. Telling relatable stories about modern struggle and human interaction through the different dimensions of audio soundscaping, Sur Ellz expresses raw emotion through the various realms of music and art. We have had the pleasure of working with Sur Ellz before if you remember our epic Ultraween party a few years ago.  Back home after his stint at SXSW, the talented Sur Ellz blesses us again for our Ultraversary, as you can tell we are big fans! Check him out this Saturday at Pearl's.

SXSW Unplugged: An Intimate Look At The Musicians Of SXSW

Amongst the hundreds of musicians taking over the city of Austin, Texas for South by Southwest, our Editor in Chief Robert Castro was able to capture some bands outside of their normal element. A huge thanks to the bands that let me capture them and to the fine folks at Big Picture Media for helping coordinate with some of the acts on their amazing roster. This will become a yearly series and we hope to capture more artist next year.
