BEGINNERS
BEGINNERS is the genre-blending creative force of Sam Barbera, a multi-instrumentalist Los Angeles based musician who also serves as one third of the rising band L.A. Exes. She has made a name for herself in LA's music scene as a talented songwriter and captivating frontwoman, leading to collaborations with artists like Kygo, and tours with Tove Lo and Walk The Moon.
Her incredible ear for a great hook and left-of-center productions has led to over 65 million streams for her songs, and landed placements in campaigns for the likes of Apple and Samsung as well as on shows including Money Heist, YOU, Shameless and Disney's Raya and the Last Dragon trailer. Everything the self-driven Barbera has accomplished to date has been done independently and on her own terms.
Live, the music is brought to life with the raw energy of guitarist POSEY, keyboardist Honor Nezzo and drummer Jason Walker. With BEGINNERS, Barbera has found an outlet to completely follow the whims of her creativity, moving fluidly through elements of 90s alternative, future, and pop.

GAYBORS FUND
Grassroots nonprofits are the heartbeat of the gayborhood. These smaller organizations do vital, on-the-ground work, yet frequently struggle to access the working capital, grants and program funding needed to sustain their impact—and sometimes even to keep their doors open.
The Gaybors Fund is here to help bridge the gap.
