Welcome to the New PassDaAUX

It feels so good to be back! Welcome to PassDaAUX.com; your new one-stop destination for everything D.M.V (DC, Maryland, Virginia). Since we wrapped up our last show in Season 2 – you may have wondered what we were up to; did we disband and cease? We found that during the Fall/Winter, things aren’t as active as they should be here in the Washington, D.C. area as far as the arts go. So we took that time off to build what you now see, and more. Let’s get into just what that means for YOU!

At PassDaAUX, we aim to create unique spaces for fellow artists to display their talents. Placing a greater emphasis on the artist has allowed us to maintain a community of creatives in the "D.M.V." area and beyond. Through this, our goal is to encourage artists to collaborate with each other so they can reach a higher level, as many of our performers have gone on to do.

But all of this can only be achieved with a strong, dedicated team that is free of bias, and filled with a pure desire for YOU to win. Here are "PDA", it’s not about who at all, but simply getting the job done. We’re here to do things the RIGHT WAY.

Introducing the team, we have:
