About the Music
The film’s inherently musical narrative structure provides a natural platform to involve established musical talent as well as emerging artists and homeless street buskers. As in “Fame” and “Star is Born”, “Love Music Shelter” offers the opportunity to create a killer soundtrack.
Check out some of the artists Alixx has met in and around New York City who she is hoping to have featured in the film below!
LOVE MUSIC SHELTER shares similar visual and musical elements to films such as Fame, A Star is Born, Once, and Begin Again. In its depiction of living in a rough urban landscape and overcoming hardship, it also shares some of the elements and gravitas of movies like The Hate You Give and Precious.
We are lucky to feature some outstanding up-and-coming artists in our short film version of LOVE MUSIC SHELTER. Read more about the short film HERE and check out some of our featured songs and artists below.

Makie
(Makenzie Bloomer)
MAKIE has an Indie Folk sound that sits perfectly with your favorite, Vintage, beach-camping playlist, or the soundtrack to your most adored independent film. Listen to MAKIE’s music and you’ll hear an eclectic blend of influences in her style and songs. From Americana to retro Pop, she’ll have you singing along, anthem style, or lost in the emotion of a story song.
MAKIE was raised on a horse farm in rural Minnesota, and is determined to spread a message that being REAL is wonderful. Hence, her decision to go by her childhood nick-name, “Makie”.
As a mom of a Toddler girl and step-mom of a Teenage boy, MAKIE’s perspective on life has evolved with greater motivation to create music with relevant and inspirational messages for everyday life.
