Meet The Artists Featured On ‘See You Next Year 3’

The Pigeons & Planes compilation album series See You Next Year was launched in 2021 with the vision of bringing our support for emerging artists to life beyond articles and social media posts. At that time, it felt more important than ever to try and cut through the ceaseless churn of social media content with new music from our favorite artists and a place to tell their stories and understand what makes them tick as creatives and people.

We didn’t just secure original songs from artists like redveil, Ekkstacy, Teezo Touchdown, and Fana Hues, we got all 11 artists on the first See You Next Year project together in-person in NYC and individually in the studio with Mike Dean in LA. The result felt like the realization of a dream for the P&P team and the start of something special that could grow and evolve in the years to come. It was also a reality check on how much work goes into releasing just one song, let alone an entire multi-artist project.

We built on all that for See You Next Year 2 and brought an incredible group of artists and producers including Kenny Mason, Paris Texas, skaiwater, Monte Booker, AG Club, Deb Never, and Love Spells together for a week-long recording camp at the Shangri-La studios in Malibu. The collaborative energy and late night sessions resulted in a cohesive record and, even more gratifying, forged new connections and friendships between the artists involved.

Throughout 2025, we were working on See You Next Year 3 alongside Big.Ass.Kids and Good Boy Records, and 2026 is go-time for another compilation album. For some strange reason, we decided to give ourselves a new challenge this time around and shoot a music video for every song on the album in just one day. Oh, and each music video is directed by another artist on the project.

That’s 15 artist-directed music videos that were all shot from 11 am - 10 pm in and around the Shangri-La studios. It was a chaotic day filled with spontaneity, but now the dust has settled it feels great to be able to highlight each song with its own video.

See You Next Year 3 is stacked with surprising collaborations and highlights from the 15 artists involved. So far, we’ve released the first 3-pack of singles and the music videos for Oxis’ “Agkyotirhynchus” and Sherwyn and Seago’s “Greenlight.” The video for Igwe Aka’s “Wake Up and Get Sexy,” directed by Samara Cym, will arrive on March 16.

The release date for the album is locked in, but for now get to know the 15 incredible artists on See You Next Year 3 and look out for the second pack of singles, featuring Liim, PUNCHING BAG, Luke Titus, Graham Bright, and Seago, coming very soon.—Alex Gardner

Latest Release: My Whole World EP with C.Y.M.

Abby Sage sees the SYNY 3 process as an extension of the way she writes her songs. Her ambition as an artist is to make “honest albums.” She wants to feel like she’s “satisfied with the work,” and emphasizes making music that’s true to her. Though the artists enlisted for our compilation span genres, styles, and sounds, this thesis is something that unites everyone included on SYNY 3. “There’s something special about showcasing a group of artists that are doing very different things but all kind of have that level of truth to them,” she adds. ‘I think that’s beautiful.”

Latest Release: “Broken Record”

It wasn’t that long ago that Alemeda was convinced she couldn’t make it as a musician. Growing up, she explains, the idea was “unfathomable. I just didn’t think it was possible for me.” Now? She’s signed with Top Dawg Entertainment, is starring on SYNY 3 with the uptempo alt-pop jam “Go Figure,” and recently teamed up with Doechii for the electrifying “Beat A B!tch Up.” These days, it’s hard to imagine her doing anything but music.

Latest Release: an album in my darkness

There’s a passion borne of faith that courses through Graham Bright’s music. This is spiritual music, deeply aligned with his Christian beliefs, but the singer is less a preacher than observer. He’s simply documenting his relationship with God and the world, trusting that the rest will work out. “I gave up on timelines for myself because I realized it’s God’s time or it’s no time,” he explained. It’s worked out so far. “I kinda yield to him and I try to do what I can every day and forget about the end result. Things like this [SYNY 3] happen.”

Latest Release: “Medication”

GUINEVERE is manifesting, and so far everything the songwriter’s cooked up has come to fruition. First? She wanted the co-sign from the Pigeons & Planes social page. “I followed P&P forever, literally for so long. I told myself one day I was gonna get posted by them,” she explains. “When I got posted on there it was a huge milestone for me.” Next up? A few Grammys, some songwriting credits, and a Coachella performance. “That’s a dream of mine. I’ve never been to Coachella,” she says. “I told myself the first time I go it’s gonna be me performing there.”

Latest Release: “BUSYBODY (KPAKIRRI)”

Igwe Aka has his Nigerian roots at the forefront of everything he does. Imagining a future tour, he comes up with a name immediately: “We’re gonna scale this shit to the world, but…I want to at least be touring my own audience. I don’t care what size…Igwe Aka, Sisters of the African Diaspora Tour.” As for his goals? “We’re everywhere, we’re donating money to the kids, getting books to kids.” His music is connecting globally as well as in Nigeria, thanks to the viral sensation “KAPOW.” The “Igbo trap” song caught the attention of Skepta and earned shoutouts from BNYX, Fireboy DML, and Odeal.⁠ Since its success, Aka has traveled back to Lagos, Nigeria, where he’s currently connecting with the people who have turned the song into a cultural sensation.

Liim

Latest Release: Liim Lasalle Loves You

Liim’s known his destiny for a long time. “I’ve always known I was gonna do this, whether I was successful at it or not,” he explains. Wildly successful, the stakes have changed, though remain relatively modest. “I’d be really happy if I got all the same homies but we’re just way richer and we just have way more fun as a result of the richness we’ve acquired,” he adds, before clarifying that it all comes “through the love of music.”

Latest Release: From What Was Will Grow A Flower

Luke Titus’ decision to participate in See You Next Year 3 was an obvious one. As he tells us, he wants to spend 2026 doing pretty much the same stuff he did in 2025. He made From What Was Will Grow A Flower and toured, and hopefully that momentum carries into his next era. “I would like to be playing more of my own shows and continuing to make music with people that I mess with,” he says about the future. So far, so good.

Latest Release: “Off My Head”

Nothing in this life is promised, which Oliver Malcom makes abundantly clear when we ask him where he thinks he‘ll be a decade from now. “If I’m alive, that would be sick, like genuinely, ’cus you don’t fucking know. No one knows,” he explains with a chuckle. Musically, the ambition is clear and the desire comes from a place of pure artistry. “If I could, in 10 years, have a sonic evolution as great as it has been for me from the previous 10 years, I’d be very happy.”

Latest Release: While The Iron Is Hot

Ovrkast. is one of those musician’s musicians. The rapper and producer has already racked up an impressive list of collaborations alongside his own catalog. He is constantly looking to improve, and his goals for the future are simple: “I want to be entrenched in my artistry,” he says matter of factly. He also wants to pay it forward: “I want to be able to help. I want to get to the point where I’m past my own shit and I’m helping others come up, kids I know.”

Latest Release: Oxis 8

Each album from Oxis, Oxis 1-8 (so far), is a chance to articulate herself more clearly. Oxis 8, her latest, is the most distilled statement yet. It’s the result of a spontaneity that the artist brings to her creativity. “Making music is always just an on-the-fly intense expression of whatever I’m feeling in the moment,” she explains. It’s a process she hopes to continue as long as she can, which she whimsically refers to as “just making strange little things.”

Latest Release: “GUERRILLA”

PUNCHING BAG are breaking through thanks to their inimitable blend of punk and rap, but the duo still want to clear their deck so they can focus on music full time. “Being able to make music for real, for a living“ is what they aspire to, a world where they “could wake up, do the whole thing.” Based on how things are moving for the Cali-based duo of Jahsy and Askari, those days are closer to a reality than ever before.

Latest Release: “Commas”

Some artists keep their aspirations modest, while others shoot for the stars. Ronshach falls firmly in the latter camp. “I just want to make a big impact on the world, some generational, everybody know about me-type shit,” he says. His rapid ascent in the rap game leads us to believe those dreams might come true, and so far, Ronshach’s proven himself to be relatable in his vulnerability. “My music is just a diary for me,” he adds. “I talk about everything I go through, everything I do.”

Latest Release: “what will they say”

Samara Cyn is now a household name, one of the most exciting young songwriters in the game. Her ambitions, though, remain remarkably level-headed. When asked where she wants to be, the answer is simple: “Paid. Touring. Paid and touring.” It’s a grinder’s mentality, in large part because Cyn is still surprised she’s made it this far. “Ten-year-old me wasn’t expecting any of this. Seventeen-year-old me wasn’t expecting any of this. Nineteen-year-old me wasn’t expecting any of this,” she adds with a laugh. Now, though? We’re all expecting it.

Latest Release: “Storming Out”

Seago balances his desire to make it all happen with an uncanny ability to focus on the day to day. On the micro level, the little things add up. Each task achieved with intentionality is a step in the right direction. For Seago, that means, “being happy, eating healthy, working out.” While those building blocks establish the foundation, he’s still looking towards the cosmos, plotting his next leap. “I’m a big dreamer,” he adds, assuring us that, “there’s always more to do.”

Latest Release: Spin City

Sherwyn immediately found himself at home when he arrived at the SYNY 3 sessions. “I pulled up to the studio and I met up with Seago. We honestly just hit it off, started making vibes. The first one was an upbeat joint called ‘Greenlight,’” he explains. It went so well, they made another. “It only took us an hour to make that one so we made a second one called ‘Ight Imma Head Out,’ and that’s more chill, a vibe-y joint to end the tape.”
