Juicy Artists

Featured

The artists we champion. Working NYC creatives who design nights around genuine human connection.

Dig Ferreira

Dig Ferreira

Juicy Artist

Multidisciplinary Brazilian artist whose work lives across four pillars: Doc-Drawing, Forging Armors, Shakuhachi, and Dance. Since 2016, Doc-Drawing has been his signature — a performative technique using a Japanese sumi brush held in his mouth to capture moments in real time. In Forging Armors, he transforms second-hand clothing into wearable art — every piece hand-forged or mouth-drawn, made to embody presence, movement, and memory. He painted the Juicy Times masthead. By mouth.

DJ Smurfo

DJ Smurfo

Juicy Artist

A Ghetto contemporary. An evolving urban revolutionary. Christopher Weeden, aka Smurfo, is NYC-born and carries a three-generation funk dynasty. His grandmother Terry Pollard is in the Michigan Jazz Hall of Fame, a vibraphonist and pianist who shared stages with Coltrane, Ella Fitzgerald, and Dizzy Gillespie. His father Dennis "Menace" Weeden played guitar on France Joli, Taana Gardner, and Gwen McRae. Smurfo carries that lineage through nearly 15 years behind the decks, specializing in disco, funk, house, and hip-hop, with residencies at Jupiter Disco and Ciao Ciao Disco, and five years playing in Greece. Also a graffiti artist with work across Brooklyn walls. He runs the Juicy Soul Discotheque.

Ray Angry

Juicy Artist

Pianist. Composer. Producer. Member of The Roots, performing weekly on The Tonight Show. Grammy nominated. Steinway Artist. Classically trained with roots in gospel, Ray has composed a symphony (Black Athena~POWER), written songs for Christina Aguilera, and released PLUMB, a completely improvised trio album with Questlove and David Murray.

Vibe Cabrera

Vibe Cabrera

Juicy Artist

Brooklyn-based cocktail artist, TV host, and creator of Vibe Imbibe. Works across spirits, non-alcoholic, and cannabis cocktails with a mission to elevate the art form of bartending to a mainstream audience the same way that chefs did. Named to the Time Out New York awards committee for NYC's Best Non-Alcoholic Bars. Hosts The Vibe Imbibe Show. Vibe asked us at The Juicy Times four questions about how we were feeling and built a cocktail from the conversation. Not from a menu. From a conversation that became a drink.

King Klave

King Klave

Juicy Artist

Amaury Acosta, aka King Klave: drummer, composer, producer, educator, curator, and entrepreneur from Hell's Kitchen. Cuban-American, born in New York to Cuban parents, constantly lost in the childlike wonder of his discovery. Founded (U)nity, a collective of five international musicians fusing Afro-Cuban grooves with modern sounds across five international tours. His debut album brought together over 20 musicians including Pino Palladino and Pedrito Martinez, pressed on hand-crafted vinyl made in Italy. NPR's Felix Contreras named it a 2022 Staff Pick. King Klave has been in every music room in this city.

PJ Adzima

PJ Adzima

Juicy Artist

Broadway actor and nightlife producer. PJ played Elder McKinley in The Book of Mormon while building Stage Time on the side, doing three-show Saturdays and funding it from his own Broadway paycheck. His founding insight: "All the most talented, interesting, amazing artists all live here. But they're incredibly siloed." Modern vaudeville at The Slipper Room: Broadway performers, drag artists, burlesque, stand-up, circus, and indie musicians sharing one stage. Weekly Saturday midnight shows, monthly flagships, and invite-only secret salons. Also seen on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Girls5Eva, and Netflix. "The biggest crime you can commit is to be boring."

Travis Fountain

Travis Fountain

Juicy Artist

Brooklyn-based visual artist and tattooer. Former engineer turned surrealist who works exclusively in monochrome across 16 countries. Clients arrive with a core memory, a song lyric, a half-formed feeling they can't shake, and Travis builds a fully original composition by hand from conversation. His shading draws on chiaroscuro painting and photographic lighting. Dermot Kennedy commissioned him to create a piece about the emotional experience of writing music. His interactive art book "While Some of Me Sleeps" raised 173% of its Kickstarter goal. At the Brooklyn launch, enlarged pages were installed on walls for guests to draw on.

Luke Strathmann

Luke Strathmann

Juicy Artist

Writer, comedian, and economist, usually all three at once. By day Luke Strathmann runs communications for Yale's economics department and edits its magazine, after stints at MIT, the UN, and the AI Now Institute, with a Princeton policy degree behind it. By night he hosts EconLOL at Caveat, what he bills as the world's first, best, and only economics-themed comedy variety show, where stand-up comedians and working economists share the same stage. Paul Krugman has joined by Zoom, and his bills draw names like Josh Gondelman and Asher Perlman. His own comedy and essays run in The New Yorker, McSweeney's, and Weekly Humorist. He makes the dismal science funny, which no one told him was possible.
