CDI x Songtrust Songwriting Showcase

Hailing from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Zoe Tan is Southeast Asia’s newest folk singer-songwriter to watch out for. Based in New York, she has played at iconic venues such as The Bitter End for the New York Songwriters Circle and S.O.B.’s for their international artist showcase. She has also opened for acclaimed artists such as Yuna, Lunadira and performed at music festivals such as SXSW and Urbanscapes. Under Universal Music Malaysia, she has released her songs “Walk Out The Door,” “Distance,” and “I Don’t Feel A Thing At All,” acquiring multiple global Spotify Editorial placements including the cover of “Fresh Finds SG & MY.” Her debut EP, I Will Never Go Back is out now on all streaming platforms. Zoe’s art is defined by its ability to honor the flavors of the Malaysian music scene, fuse them into the American music landscape, and create music that you can hear, see, and feel with every fiber of your being.

Los Angeles-based indie-pop artist and songwriter India Thieriot writes emotionally incisive songs that blur the line between intimate confession and cinematic storytelling. Her music has earned support from Spotify editorial playlists including Fresh Finds, All New Indie, and Next Gen Singer-Songwriters, while her songwriting has been featured in Hallmark’s The Chicken Sisters and Tubi’s How to Lose a Popularity Contest.

Known for pairing diaristic lyrics with expansive, nostalgic production, India explores themes of time, comparison, ambition, and the quiet anxieties of growing up. Whether writing for herself or collaborating with other artists, her songs are rooted in emotional specificity that resonates long after the first listen.

She is currently releasing a new body of work that continues to establish her as one of indie pop’s most compelling emerging storytellers.

Caleb Moore is an artist, songwriter, and producer from New York City. A multi-instrumentalist and film composer,aleb's music inhabits a groove focused, alternative-R&B space while his vocals and lyrics contrast in their vulnerability and sincerity. He cites artists including Tyler the Creator, Bon Iver, Rex Orange County, Lauryn Hill and Gustavo Santaolalla as inspirations, but this group only slightly hints at the scope of Caleb’s musical range. His palate is as organic and raw as it is contemporary and rhythmic. And despite his strong emphasis on the musical backdrop, what may come through most is his vocal honesty and insatiable desire for a good hook.

In April 2026, with the release of his debut album, Moore’s song “Up Now” was featured in Rolling Stones ‘Songs You Need to Know About'.

Sydney Sherrill is a New-York based pop-rock performer and songwriter. Sherrill began writing songs at 14 and has worked with songwriters on
Music Row in Nashville as well as the NYC scene. She released her first single “Closer” in the Fall of 2025. Most recently, she was an opener for LØLØ’s 2026 European tour, including a performance at Electric Ballroom in London. Her EP Live Me Down was released in early 2026 and is out on all platforms.

Morgan Julianna is a Charlotte-born, Brooklyn-based independent pop artist infusing writing influences from divas like Beyoncé and Ariana Grande with futuristic synth-pop production. Her last EP, Rendezvous, included tongue-in-cheek radio ready Pop on “Jail,” and more classic R&B/Pop on the title track “Rendezvous.”

Her next project, Honeymoon Express
(named after the title track written at
the CDI x Songtrust Songwriting
Camp) will be released this fall.
