Performing Live

Lee'a Ro

Rounding out our incomparable list of performers, my decision to make her our closer was confirmed, not just after hearing her voice, but hearing her story. Don’t call it a comeback, this is a reminder, headlining Daptoberfest 2023 from the Black Onyx Management SoundStage, show your love for Lee’a Ro!!
From the heartbeat of Indianapolis emerges Lee’a Ro, an RnB and soul sensation whose voice began to enchant even before she could form words. Not confined to her hometown, Lee’a Ro has captivated audiences in and out of state, showcasing her artistry far beyond Indianapolis borders. A masterful songwriter and meticulous vocal producer, her crafted songs deeply resonate with audiences everywhere. Her 2012 magnum opus, “The Lee’a Ro Show,” intertwines exceptional songwriting with unparalleled vocal production. Each performance offers a glimpse into her world — one filled with melody, strength, and the challenges and triumphs of a devoted single mother. Unsigned but undeniably impactful, Lee’a Ro’s unique blend of life experiences and musical prowess makes her an unforgettable beacon in the world of RnB and soul.
Lee’a Ro joins Be On It, Briah Golder, Chuck Mason, Feeray, and DeOndray K. Pope on Saturday, October 14, 2023 for the third annual festival celebrating Black Joy Unfiltered, Daptoberfest!

Be On It

Be On It (aka B On It Productions) was formed in 2012. Birthed out of Indianapolis Be On It was created to push the boundaries and limitations of music. Be On It covers a lot of musical ground and different genres from pop, rock, rnb, hip hop, trip hop, neo soul, fusion, jazz, techno, country, christian, and experimental. When you look at the band you’ll see a typical 5 piece set up, but when you really look deep into the band you see 5 individual artists that work together as a “collective” to create the most interesting, thoughtful, and intentional music you have ever heard. The band consist of 5 members, Joe C Elliott III (MD/Drums/Producer), Jesse Thompson (Bass/Guitar/Producer/Composer/Arranger/Writer/Lyricist), CJ Warfield (Keys/Composer/Producer), Terry Adams (Keys/Bass/Composer/Producer) and Alex Goldblatt  (Guitar/Arranger/Composer/Producer).

In 2014 Be On It was crowned the champions of a national competition called Strange Arrange. Strange Arrange is a competition put on my Soundtrack Entertainment, where the top 5 bands in the nation compete in Nashville TN. From that opportunity, Be On It has landed major opportunities to work with some of the industry’s top artist, such as Sony Music Videos or shooting a music video with PJ Morton (Maroon 5). You can find some of those music videos on Youtube and iTunes.

The goal of Be On It is to become one of the most dynamic bands of our time. From performing live to producing, Be On It has developed a signature sound and style that cannot be duplicated. Be On It has performed many places around the country and has worked with many different artists and producers around the world. The energy they perform with live will leave you mesmerized, inspired, and motivated to challenge what you think about music in a new way!
