Singer/Songwriter Layton Greene
Joining the star-studded lineup for this year’s event, The Dinah is pleased to welcome R&B sensation Layton Greene to the 2020 lineup. Layton’s message to her listeners is to be your true authentic self; something The Dinah has been representing since it’s beginning. Despite being dealt a hand in life that wouldn’t typically lead one to a path of stardom, Greene overcame the odds and carved the path that allowed her to share her voice and her strength.

Jozzy and R&B/Soul pioneer SWSH
Jozzy has written music for superstars such as Beyoncé, Chris Brown, Ciara, and Fergie but is now breaking out as a solo artist to bring her true artistic self to the masses. The queer rapper and songwriter penned Billy Rae Cyrus’ verse for the Grammy-nominated hit “Old Town Road” by recently out rapper Lil Nas X. She holds a positive vision for the future of LGBTQ+ artists braving the world we live in, saying “I’m me. I’m not trying to impose my beliefs on you, but you gotta respect my music and respect who I am. And I feel like, once we start doing more of that, we gonna be good.” As said in a recent feature by Live Nation, “SWSH seems to have no problem in expressing her individuality and courageously using her music as a platform to speak about issues she’s genuinely invested in.” The Dinah embraces and supports expressing oneself sincerely and unapologetically and this is why we resonate so much with the work this valiant artist is producing. This non-binary neo-soul musician and self-proclaimed “big bitch in lipstick and a midriff” speaks out about equality and acceptance through her music and her public interviews, saying in a conversation with TIME Magazine, “People and their sexualities are much more complex than just gay or straight.” 

Ally Brooke
Ally Brooke found her breakout with the multi-platinum group Fifth Harmony but is finally finding her own voice as she prepares to release her debut solo album. Having been in the industry since age 12, she’s now breaking out on her own to wield her unique artistic voice and share with the world her true self, no longer having to subscribe to the collective mission of a group.
