About us
Germain "Xermane" Giraldo
FOUNDER/PRODUCER
EDM turned Urban Latin producer, songwriter and professional button pusher, Xermane, encompasses everyday life in his music. Xermane works mainly in the Urban Latin, Hip Hop, and Metal genres. Describing it as “uniquely familiar”, his music gives the feeling that it is something that is supposed to be heard. He writes his own music alongside the artists he works with. Incorporating everyday life into his music, anything that moves him in anyway will be integrated into the beat or lyrics. Everytime Xermane releases music, he constantly is trying to out doing himself with the next one. If he is not bumping the demo before it is released then something is not right and he works until he surpasses his last release.

Ahmad Allan
CEO
Ahmad Allan, founder and CEO of full-service entertainment agency Crust Nation and iBoatNYC, always knew that he would lead a life of public service. In 2011, public service meant interpreting case law and providing legal counsel for Allan, a first-generation immigrant with a scholarship to law school and plans to become an attorney. Today, it means creating an inclusive space for tourists and New York and San Diego residents alike to experience two of the nation’s largest cities through a concert series designed to offer something for everyone: iBoatNYC.
The floating concert experience is the product of an exclusive partnership between Crust Nation and Hornblower New York—and it’s made waves since it launched in 2019. Under Allan’s oversight, iBoatNYC has become the largest water-based event series of its kind in New York, with music programming as diverse as the city’s population. His focus on crafting a full concert experience with depth and dimension has led iBoatNYC to book artists across genres—dance/electronic, reggaeton, salsa, afrobeats, hip-hop, R&B—from all over the world.
Luis Azocar "Chamo NYC"
ARTIST/LABEL MANAGER
Luis Azocar, professionally known as “Chamo NYC” is a singer-songwriter from Venezuela. Chamo NYC is an Urban Latin, Hip Hop, and Trap artist, rapping in both Spanish and English. His lyrics depend on the mood of the day and his experiences making his music feel natural and organic. His original and versatile music is a passion that comes straight from his heart.
Starting in 2016, Chamo NYC would write lyrics without any beats and worked acapella. He took on freestyling and posted himself on Instagram. As this grew and others followed, Chamo NYC and others decided to put up a flyer for people to show up and freestyle in a small park in Queens. Watching kids trying to participate and having an audience, it motivated him to organize and participate in freestyle battles. This event grew, moving to a park in Flushing and offering small trophies and other prizes. Chamo NYC was able to help build a small freestyle community in Queens. Loving freestyle, but knowing that it was not his strength, Chamo NYC met producers and people that made music and knew that it was where he belonged. He began to work with them as well as independently, distributing his own music. Deciding to get into a bigger project, he dropped his independent mixtape “Old Enough” April 9th, 2021. Meeting Xermane, a music producer, Chamo NYC began to work with him and NSY BOY.
Juan Velez "JANVI"
ARTIST
Juan Andres Velez, professionally known as “JANVI”, is an Urban Latin and Reggaeton artist and songwriter. He writes with a unique “picante” flair about problems that occur in life. He writes his own music and in the studio writes alongside the producer and other artists. His music defining “hay niveles y siempre estamos por encima” (“there are levels and we are always on top”), JANVI ensures he gives feeling in every song and expresses himself through the music so people are able to relate to his music.
JANVI was born in Caldas, Colombia; a small town that no one really knows of. He began music in 2016 when he realized that everything he would do would be filled with music. He loved to sing other people’s songs and was curious to try writing his own songs. Thinking why not write his own songs, he learned to use different programs to record music and bought headphones to record himself. Falling in love with it, JANVI continued with it, starting off freestyling and uploading it on social media, soon meeting someone who was able to get him a professional recording. From then on it has been a snowball effect, JANVI continues to make his own music and meet people.
Santiago Gonzales "Saanti G"
ARTIST
Saanti G is an artist and songwriter born in Medellín, Colombia and raised in Jackson Heights, NY. He writes his own music, usually writing love songs, but what he writes about also depends on the beat and the atmosphere he is in. Saanti G works in the Latin, Reggaeton, and Spanish Trap genres, composing his stories into songs.
Originally working to be a professional soccer player, Saanti G found himself making music in 2016. He had gone to a friend’s house who had a recording setup and was offered to try it out. After falling in love with it, Saanti G had gone back and continued working with him. This experience triggered a passionate feeling from him that caused him to continue making music. Although he grew up with music, he did not think he would be making it, but soon realized that he wanted to work with it after performing in front of a crowd and feeling their excitement and support. After connecting and working with different people, Saanti G found a strong base and team where he can always create music.
