Viernes Nights at OMCA with The Whoadees and Special Guests
Live Music by The Whoadees with Special Guests, DJ Set by Jaymeebaaby, and Gallery Chats
Julio 31 from 5:00 pm – 9:00 pm
The Whoadees take over the Garden Stage this Viernes Night at OMCA with an immersive live set that pushes the boundaries of Hip-Hop, funk, and experimental sound. Blending their backgrounds as producers, engineers, and musicians, the collective creates a dynamic, interactive experience and is joined by special guests Grand Nationxl, 3lise, Detahjae, and Nef the Pharaoh for a powerful showcase of Bay Area talent.
Keeping the energy in motion, Jaymeebaaby delivers a high-impact DJ set packed with throwbacks, current favorites, and crowd-moving hits across genres. Known for her fast-rising career across major venues, sports events, and radio, the Bay Area DJ brings a vibrant mix designed to keep the dance floor active and the vibe all the way up.
Alongside an exceptional event experience, Viernes Nights at OMCA also features Gallery Chats from 5:30–7:30 pm. Putting a twist on the traditional museum tour, Gallery Chats invite visitors to engage in meaningful conversations, share personal reflections, and explore new perspectives on the artwork, artifacts, and stories throughout OMCA’s galleries. Enthusiastic volunteer facilitators can be found floating between all of OMCA’s galleries, including its Great Hall Special Exhibitions, throughout the evening. Look for the blue “Let’s Chat” shirts to join the conversation. Gallery Chats are included with Museum admission.

Biografía del artista
The Whoadees are a dynamic music collective. Blending their talents as producers, engineers, and musicians, they create a unique sound rooted in Hip-Hop, funk, and experimental production. Each member brings years of experience in sound design, mixing, and performance, making The Whoadees not just a group, but a movement dedicated to pushing creative boundaries and delivering music that connects deeply with listeners.
Blending the essence of East Oakland and North Richmond, Grand Nationxl emerges as a powerhouse collective, transcending Hip-Hop boundaries with eclectic beats and introspective lyricism. Founding members Kevin Allen (formerly Erk Tha Jerk), Mani Draper, Brookfield Duece, and Passwurdz each add their unique flavor. Rooted in the Bay Area’s music scene, they unite for authentic expression.
3lise is an artist whose love for music began in her family’s church choir and at Oakland sideshows, where her passion for Neo-Soul first blossomed. Raised between Oakland and Richmond, she carries the grit, resilience, and creativity of both cities into her work. Her exploration of metaphysical instruments has expanded her sound, infusing mystical and ethereal textures into contemporary R&B and rap. Shaped by the soulful experiences of life, 3lise channels emotion into her art with a mission to stretch the heart and push emotional boundaries, guiding listeners to embrace their shadows and uncover transformative power.
Detahjae is a 22-year-old visionary artist from the Section 8 neighborhoods of Oakland. Born into a family of musicians who never got their big break, Detahjae picked up where his parents left off—starting his own musical journey at just seven years old. In Noviembre 2024, he released his breakout single “Janice,” a deeply creative and emotionally charged record that put him on the map. With a raw voice, sharp storytelling, and an otherworldly visual imagination, Detahjae quickly captivated a global audience through a series of compelling, self-developed music videos that blurred the line between underground art and viral genius. Detahjae is not just an artist—he’s a movement from the trenches of Oakland, proving that real creativity always finds a way to rise.
Born Tonee Hayes in 1995, the proud Vallejo native started rapping before the age of five, honing his craft as a freestyling teenager influenced by Mac Dre, E-40, and DJ Mustard. His local hit, “Bitch I’m from Vallejo,” landed in 2014. The track helped catch the ear of E-40, who signed Nef to his Sick Wid It Records label. After issuing the early mixtapes Rich by 25 Two (2014) and Neffy Got Wings (2016), he released his 2015 self-titled debut EP, featuring his second local hit, “Big Tymin’,” which was picked up by indie blogs and publications.
Born and raised in the Bay Area, Jaymeebaaby started her DJ career in 2021 and has quickly gained momentum, leading to bookings with big venues in and out of the Bay, local radio stations, notable companies, and even for professional sporting events. She was the tournament DJ for the 2023 LPGA International Crown, DJ for the Oakland Athletics, and she is currently a mixshow DJ for The Bay’s Hit Radio Station 99.7NOW (KMVQ) on Sábado Nights.
