Velvet East


Velvet East is the musical meeting point of Cloud Prescott and Steven Carlson — two genre-defying artists crafting cinematic soul for the modern age.
Rooted in R&B, indie pop, and vintage funk, their sound is warm and expressive, filled with buttery falsetto, analog textures, and lush, emotionally driven production. Born from late-night sessions and long-form voice memos, Velvet East blends the intimacy of a bedroom project with the polish of a studio record.
As Berklee-trained musicians and vocalists, Cloud and Steven bring deep musicality and intentionality to every song — layering harmonies, digging into groove, and pushing each other creatively with every track. Their music feels like that part of summer that never quite ends: nostalgic, hopeful, a little heartbroken, and always vibing.
With their debut single Stuck, Velvet East steps into the world not just as a band, but as a vision — one rooted in emotion, trust, and timeless sound.
