About The Japanese House
The Japanese House (the critically acclaimed project of Amber Bain) is an alternative pop star for the modern age who serves up vulnerable lyrics and down-to-earth yet celestial songs. Her latest album, the critically acclaimed In the End It Always Does, highlights heartbreak and love lost, emotional reflections on childhood trauma and identity. The album finds the artist embracing her pop side like never before with help from Matty Healy and George Daniel (The 1975), Katie Gavin (MUNA), Bon Iver’s Justin Vernon, and Charli XCX, among others. Following a breakout 2024 that comprised sold-out US and UK headline tours (the latter included her biggest show to date at London’s Roundhouse) and a run supporting Maggie Rogers on her Don’t Forget Me tour, Bain released her folk-tinged single “:)” (aka “Smiley Face”), which quickly became a TikTok sensation and a fan favorite. This past fall she was featured on Charli XCX’s BRAT remix album with a glittery new version of the viral track “Apple,” and on Fred again..’s “backseat” with a remix of her “Sunshine Baby.” The Japanese House’s intimate, unique sound has propelled her to hundreds of millions of streams; performances at Coachella, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and more; an appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk, and major media praise from NPR, the New York Times, the Associated Press, Billboard, Rolling Stone, WWD, Playboy, GQ, i-D, the Fader, Pitchfork, and more. In the End It Always Does follows her 2020 EP Chewing Cotton Wool and her debut Good At Falling (2019).

About AMRIT

AMRIT currently resides in New York with her husband Jon and daughter Frankie.

About Pretty Sick
Founded in 2014 by then-13-year-old musician and model Sabrina Fuentes, Pretty Sick emerged from New York City's underground DIY. scene with a raw and gritty sound rooted in 1990s alt-rock and grunge. Since releasing their self-titled EP in 2016, Pretty Sick has built a loyal fanbase with undeniably catchy songs like “Dumb” (over 26 million streams) and “Superstar” (over 12 million streams) while garnering critical praise from the likes of Pitchfork, Pigeons and Planes, DAZED, The FACE, New York Magazine, and music icon Iggy Pop. In fall 2022, Fuentes released her debut album, Makes Me Sick Make Me Smile, produced by Paul Kolderie (Hole, Radiohead), before setting off on tour with Beabadoobee and then Yves Tumor. While floating effortlessly through New York’s underground scene, Fuentes has also served as a muse for the likes of Calvin Klein, Anonymous Club, Opening Ceremony, and Marc Jacobs—for whom she modeled the now infamous Heaven Spring 2023 Campaign. In a relatively short time, Fuentes has become a vital presence in the youthful New York City scene, weaving her creative community into the sometimes raucous, sometimes restrained, and always personal songwriting and visuals of Pretty Sick.

About MoMA’s Young Patrons Council
Since its founding in 1990, the Young Patrons Council of The Museum of Modern Art (formerly The Junior Associates) has established itself as one of New York City’s most respected young patrons programs. A diverse community of art enthusiasts, emerging collectors, arts professionals, and artists, the Young Patrons Council is an integral part of the MoMA family, whose dynamism energizes our mission to share modern and contemporary art with the next generation at the Museum and beyond. Over the years, the Young Patrons Council has made a significant philanthropic impact at MoMA and MoMA PS1, raising millions of dollars in support of major exhibitions, acquisitions, film series, and educational programs. Through exclusive access to galleries, artist studios, private collections, and curatorial tours, members of the Young Patrons Council have the chance to build lasting relationships with artists, collectors, curators, and their fellow members.
