Sudan Archives returns to campus to headline the Student Committee for the Arts (SCA) at UCLA’s annual Royce Hall Show! Over the years, SCA has produced a range of extremely successful artists, from Portugal. The Man, who played with a student orchestra and an elaborate light show; to Doja Cat, Janelle Monae, The Marías, and Bob Dylan, who performed back in 1965. 

SCA is dedicated to promoting arts awareness and involvement on campus by offering students discounted tickets to CAP UCLA performances and by producing its own series of performing arts events. In collaboration with CAP UCLA staff, SCA provides valuable pre-professional development opportunities, enabling student artists to showcase their talents.

About the Artists

"I'm not gonna be that artist that's gonna put out the same body of work until I die, because that's probably gonna be the reason I die — 'cause that sounds boring." - Sudan Archives

Sudan Archives blends R&B, hip-hop, folk, and electronic music with West African fiddling. With releases on Stones Throw label, including EPs and albums like Athena and Natural Brown Prom Queen, she's made waves. A self-taught violinist, singer, and producer from Cincinnati, Ohio, Sudan Archives started young, influenced by her stepfather, Derrick Ladd, a former music executive. Despite early attempts at a pop career, Sudan Archives found her niche in Los Angeles, where she honed her unique sound blending vocals, beats, and strings, influenced by Sudanese music. Collaborations with artists like Hi-Tek and Nosaj Thing have shaped her evolving style, showcased in her latest album.

Los Angeles native Angela Muñoz makes a stunning debut with her album Introspection on Linear Labs. A prodigious talent, Muñoz writes and sings with a depth beyond her years. Her mesmerizing voice exudes strength and skill, shaped by a wealth of personal experiences and extensive training in the art of sound. Muñoz sees music as the expression of emotion, finding her own liberation and power within it. With her commanding presence, she is poised to leave an indelible mark on the music scene for years to come.
