Lora Mouna (she/her)
Known for her confessional diary-like songwriting, Arab-American singer/songwriter Lora Mouna uses music as a vessel to capture moments of vulnerability within herself and within her relationships. Her music reflects on her shadow work and healing, emphasizing the importance of mental health. Her passion for humanitarian activism also bleeds into every part of her life, as you may see in her music and on her social media.
Lora is a 2025 Artist in Residence and has previously performed in the Keepsake House show Long Story Short.
Louie Lou Louis (he/him)
Louie Lou Louis is a Haitian-American songster based in Brooklyn, NY who combines an uplifting musicality with a soothing, yet energizing vibe.

Madi Smith (she/they)
Madi Smith is a singer/songwriter and wannabe stand-up comic, known for her fun gay songs and witty lyricism. She was born and raised in Los Angeles, but made the big coast-to-coast move to NYC two years ago where she has since gone all in on pursuing her music career. Madi has never been able to commit to any one genre, she's really interested in exploring comedy in music and capturing the array of emotions that come with the queer experience. She's also been told her music would sound great with a band, but as of now it's just her and her guitar against the world.
Madi is a 2025 Artist in Residence and has previously performed in the Keepsake House shows The Writers Room at Meadowlark (2024) Long Story Short. This September, Madi will be returning to The Writers Room at Meadowlark (2025)—get your tickets now!
