Milo Fultz

Milo Fultz is a software engineer, musician, and human from the Pacific Northwest. He loves the vast contrasts between simple and complex, smooth and brash, serene and cacophonous, and at the end of the day, just wants to hang out with cats and make bread. He is himself and thinks you should be yourself, too.

Paris Butler 

Loyal to the art of primitive improvisation, Paris Blue Butler’s sole ambition is to venture into the treacherous unknown, creating musical shapes that may resemble falling off a cliff and laughing on the way down; contemplating the meaning of life while being mauled by a bear; or some other melodramatic metaphor.

Native to Portland, his guiding philosophy is to enable other musicians to play playfully as an accompanist, or in developing creative space suitable for all genres at Blue Butler Studios. Formally trained in Jazz by local masters Alan Jones & David Goldblatt, holding a Bachelor’s degree in Finance from Portland State University.

Machado Mijiga

Multi-instrumentalist and Portland native Machado Mijiga wears many hats, both literally and metaphorically.

Classically-trained, jazz-weathered, and eclectically inclined, Mijiga left the proverbial creative “box” at a very early age, with access to many instruments and a diverse musical background brought about by an intercultural heritage.

Mijiga is a musical polymath; composer, producer, bandleader, educator, gear fanatic, and audio engineer, to name a few.

Authenticity and uniquity assume the locus of Mijiga’s artistic identity. Self-expression is the prime directive, and the medium of choice changes like the weather.
