Joining Mazor on the bill are a trio of artists whose careers were shaped by the sounds of Philly's dance clubs and radio stations back in the genre's heyday. Denine, Peter Fontaine, and Jesseee B all bring their own flavors of freestyle to the stage, promising a night of nostalgia and energetic beats.
Meet the Philly Legends

Denine: This South Philly native was a freestyle sensation, her powerful voice a fixture on radio stations up and down the East Coast. Her breakout collaboration with Adam Marano, "Then Came You," became a certified freestyle classic, and her album "To Be Continued" solidified her place in the genre's history.
-
Peter Fontaine: Known for his dynamic stage presence and heartfelt vocals, Fontaine made his mark with hits like "The Way She Looks at Me" and "Just Like the Wind." His journey began in New York City's vibrant hip-hop scene, but he quickly found his calling in the world of freestyle.
-
Jesseee B: As the former frontman of Legacy, Jesseee B brought a Chicago flavor to freestyle, blending smooth vocals with catchy beats and even a touch of rap. Legacy's songs like "Girls Do It Just For Fun" and "Time Is Right" were radio staples, finding success beyond the boundaries of traditional freestyle.
Jae Mazor: The Headliner Returns
While the night is a showcase for Philly talent, the main attraction is undoubtedly Jae Mazor. Mazor is a multifaceted artist whose R&B-infused sound has expanded the boundaries of freestyle.
