Rosie Redd 

Rose Redd is a beautiful contradiction. Twenty years in age but unfathomably older in soul, her music has its roots in darker days, experiences, and stories and finds its bloom in both release and connection. Her poignant verses and explosive choruses let you know that she makes music because she has to.

Born in the sleepy British seaside town ofEastbourne, at six months old Redd relocated with her family to the West Midlands. She was raised on a varied musical diet of everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Iron Maiden to Kate Bush, greedily consuming it all.

At the tender age of twelve she first found a kindred spirit in Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, whose lyrics spoke to her as a troubled young woman and gave her the inspiration to pick up a guitar for the first time and explore songwriting as a means of expression.





She's come a long way since portraying a singing sunflower in a kindergarten play and after the last five years of performing across the country, from pub gigs to headliningBirmingham music venues, Rose Redd’s hard work and potential is now being realised by both fans and industry professionals.

Now backed by a talented and equally as passionate band she is ‘ready to take on the world and with talent like hers, there's nothing to stop her on her way’.

The Healing is Rose Redd's powerful new single from the EP of the same name. Her voice has been described as 'A soulful powerhouse' and 'a blend of Amy Lee and Alison Moyet'.

"The Healing is a realisation of how self destructive I can be and how, in the past, I have projected my self hate and weaknesses onto others, fooling myself into thinking it's not my fault that my goals haven't been achieved yet."

Rose, now backed by her band, delivers a powerful and passionate live performance giving the audience a chance to experience Rose Redd's ' extraordinary depth and ability to translate her inner thoughts'.

Info 

On 8 September 2014 Pint Size Hero's second album, 'Like A Hurricane' is released worldwide.

The first single, 'Hunger', is released on 14 August 2014. 'Hunger' showcases the album's fuzz-driven vibe and razor sharp sounds.

'Like A Hurricane' is the band's first new release since 2011's 'Get Your Kicks' and surpasses the ambition of that album with a new level of immediacy and refined songwriting, not to mention an extra fuzz pedal or two.

In 2012 the band were invited on the road with Californian rockers 'Rival Sons', touring the UK with their brand of South Coast electric Rock n Roll.

2013 saw continued dates in support of 'Get Your Kicks', including a sold-out show at London's The Borderline alongside The Graveltones (nominated for best new band at last year's Classic Rock Awards). A feature in Classic Rock Magazine as one of the '15 Hottest New Bands In Britain' followed, as well as coverage on NME.com.

"Alongside Band Of Skulls they're establishing the south coast as an enclave for this sort of fuzzy dirt-under-the-fingernails blues rock" - Classic Rock Magazine.

'Like A Hurricane' will be on sale as a deluxe CD pack and to download online via iTunes and Amazon.
More information including tour details to be announced.



Lucy is a fresh new singer/songwriter from the North East and is bringing her unique sound and style with her recently released, debut EP "Vicious Cycles" 



Lucy started singing from a young age, singing into a hairbrush whenever she could. Lucy taught herself how to play the guitar after her parents bought her first guitar at the age of 8, buying tutorial books and watching videos on the internet. The young singer has been turning heads in the musical world recently for her songwriting with lyrics, wise and beyond her years.

‘Vicious Cycles’ is the debut release from Lucy and showcases how true her work is to her heart. The EP features 4 tracks; Let Me Go, Devil, Pseudo Love and Vicious Cycles, and is to be released Friday 11 April across digital platforms; iTunes, Amazon and Google Play. The record claws through the depths of love with ornamental guitar and illustrative verse; Lucy dares to verbalise the statements we’re sometimes too prudish to voice. Brutally honest words echoed through a voice that’s laden with the uncertainty of emotion.

 

Let Me Go is the lead single of the EP; it tells a story of wanting to escape from the clutches of a broken relationship. With a subtle driving beat, the colourful guitar seems to highlight the good out of the heartache we’re hearing unfold. The vulnerability of the situation is relatable to most, appealing as an anthem for those who wear their heart on their sleeve.

 

With calming tones and a charming warmth, Lucy French hints similarity to acoustic based soloists such as Ben Howard, Damien Rice, Charlie Simpson and Lucy Rose. Work on Lucy’s next EP has materialised post production of ‘Vicious Cycles’ and is already showing signs of a developed signature sound.



"Vicious Cycles" is available on all digital platforms, including Itunes, Google Play, Amazon, and our own site http://www.otissmusic.com/

Miel de Botton ‘Bad Men’
Debut UK single released 21 September 2014
www.mielmusic.co.uk / Facebook.com/MielMusicUK / Twitter.com/Miel_music
Miel de Botton announces the release of her debut single ‘Bad Men’. The majestically bare, Morricone-esque mantra is many a woman’s rallying cry, slowly stripping layers off those debonair men who talk about forever but can’t seem to follow through. This honest song explores the pain and pathos that underlies such relationships.
‘Bad Men’ is the first single from Miel’s debut album ‘Magnetic’ – scheduled for release in January 2015. A collection of radically reinterpreted Chansons (Jacques Brel, Piaf…) plus Miel’s own material, some in English, some in French. ‘Magnetic’ is the sensuous, exultant sound of a woman who’s finally following her path; a woman just hitting her stride.
‘Music has always given me a sense of joy and freedom. If you’d asked me as a child what my biggest dream was, it would have been to be a singer. But it was a secret dream…’
Miel’s Swiss parents instilled in her a love of the arts. Music in all its forms filled the house and it was through her father singing to her from an early age that Miel first fell in love with the Chansons. “The songs transported me to an era of wild romance. I could feel the intensity of love, but also its tragic inconstancy, and I wanted to abandon myself to that music.”
A career in the arts was not on the cards for Miel who, dutifully, in her father’s vision, studied law at Oxford. She graduated and moved to Paris, where she trained as a clinical psychologist, then worked as a drug addiction therapist. “Psychology taught me to connect deeply with people and turn emotion into a positive force for transformation. That is what I try to do when I sing – share human emotion, make us feel connected. I aim for the music to have a soothing, healing effect.”
A chance meeting in London led to Miel performing her first gig at - wait for it - an electricians’ ball in Kent. More performances followed – at, amongst others, the Wonders of Weizmann Gala at St Pancras Hotel, Gabrielle’s Gala at Battersea Power Station, and most recently at a gala dinner at St Bartholomew’s Hospital to support Maggie’s centre for cancer care. Each performance reinforced her belief that music was her destiny and the yearning to capture those moments on record became an overwhelming desire…and a reality.
Recorded with songwriter and producer Andy Wright (Mick Hucknall, Eurythmics, Jeff Beck) the process was a revelation for the Zurich-born London-based artist. “He really gets me. We have these amazing moments when I give him my songs and he sits at the piano and starts the chord arrangements, and every time I cry, because what comes out is magical” explains Miel. And, of course, because at last her dream is coming true.
This is no shallow pop diva. Mixing maturity and youth, it’s someone flexing her muscles, making life make sense. As she says, “I’m experiencing a depth of fulfilment I have never known”.

The empathy test in Ridley Scott’s Blade Runner is based on the premise that machines, no matter how advanced, lack compassion. But for childhood friends, Isaac Howlett (vocals, guitar) and Adam Relf (production), Empathy Test is all about wearing their hearts on their digital sleeves. With soaring synthetic chords, precision beats, and jubilant 80s melodies — all coated in soft, irresistible melancholy — the London-based duo takes inspiration as much from modern acts like CHVRCHES and Purity Ring, as it does from Vangelis and Depeche Mode. But, instead of sounding like a mere update of 80s’ electro, Empathy Test produce a mesmerizing and immersive identity which sets them apart from pretty much everything else currently on the scene. Shadows envelop hymns, a note sustains too long, a lyric confesses too much: It’s the heart of darkness, not compassion, that beats slow and steady.
Despite mutual family friends, the Kent boys grew up in vary different directions. Isaac embraced acting, writing, and singer/songwriter music, while Relf studied sculpture and illustration at Kingston University, becoming immersed in house music and dance production. Such radically different approaches to music became an asset when the two realized their mutual love of 80s electro-pop soundtracks. Beginning with Winding Refn’s Drive, Empathy Test began to head backwards, drawing from Brad Fiedel (Terminator), John Williams (Close Encounters of the Third Kind), and James Horner (Star Trek, Aliens). In particular, Relf was intrigued by the way these composers would draw out single notes to the point where the drone took on an off-key quality. Using Howlett’s guitar-based melodies and song structures as a base, Relf tries to reproduce the harmonics of the guitar on a synthesizer, sustaining some notes to the point of maximum tension, then burying the emotional swell beneath. When this soundscape is mixed with bright arpeggios and Howlett’s powerful and romantic voice, the result is mnemonically alien, yet emotionally familiar.

While the lingering nighttime aesthetic that Relf conjures up provides the initial hook, Howlett’s vocal mastery pushes the stakes ever higher, providing the urgency and romanticism to Relf’s crystalline production. Little wonder that the duo has amassed a sizable and passionate online following: With an insistence on glorious hooks and instantly memorable vocal lines, Empathy Test are refreshingly unafraid to be pop music. Since self-releasing their debut EP “Losing Touch” in February, Empathy Test have picked up thousands of fans via sheer word-of-mouth and late-night tweets, and collaborated with Richard Swarbrick on numerous viral animation videos for ESPN and Liverpool FC. Empathy Test signed to Brooklyn’s Stars & Letters Records in the spring of 2014, with their follow-up EP “Throwing Stones” releasing November 18, 2014.

The Fuse who are based in London, England.
 
new single Black Lion.
Previously known as Lato, the band has been through many highs and lows in their career ranging from being offered a $250,000 record deal in the USA which was dogged with deaths and affairs.  This finally resulted in the label going under and the band having to self- fund their own way home from America.  
After deciding to make a fresh start, the band changed their name to The Fuse and released their debut album under the new name titled Freedom Of The City.  Since the album release, The Fuse have transcended from performing to 3 people at a gig in London, to supporting UB40 in Holland and Foreigner in Germany to thousands of people, as well as headlining a number of festivals in England and Wales over the past year.   In addition to this, they have also received over 50,000 plays on YouTube and other video platforms, with various radio stations around the world now picking up on their unique sound.
Further details on the forthcoming EP as well as information on a tour of the UK and Holland plus other gig dates can be found on their websites www.thefusemusic.com and www.facebook.com/thefusemusic

Since the 70’s Chris Pope has been the front runner in the world of singer songwriters, with his first outing being with Mod-Punk mega group The Chords followed by critically acclaimed bands Agent Orange, Gatecrash Heaven and Pope.
After finally settling on the name Chris Pope, the band has gone on to release two albums on their own label titled Grace From God and Tall Tales & Cheap Thrills which both received extremely favourable reviews from a number of national publications, with one quoting them as being as savage as Pete Townshend with toothache. 
Further details on Chris Pope including how you can purchase their material and forthcoming gig dates can be found on their website www.popemusic.co.uk or you can follow them on Twitter at www.twitter.com/chrispope99
 

In-Anna who is from Glastonbury, England but currently residing in California.

After being honoured at the Song Of The Year competition which was judged by Grammy award winners Norah Jones and Sheila E, In-Anna is now in the process of recording her album which is scheduled for release later this year.  In addition to this she is currently in the process of meeting some new musicians to form a band and perform in and around the California region.

Sold Our Love’ 


Impact Date: 1st September 2014

Based in Islington, North London, DELAIRE aka Jenny Burdon is set to release her debut single ‘Sold Our Love’, produced by Julian Simmons (Ed Sheeran, Midlake, Bleech).

Citing her key influences as Fleetwood Mac, Blondie and Donna Summer, the 24 year old songstress creates disco infused pop laced with clever hooks and oodles of character.

This summer DELAIRE will perform alongside the likes of Daniel Avery, Woman’s Hour and Rosie Lowe at Farr Festival, as well as her first solo headline gigs, the first of which was a huge success at St.Pancras Church in London on July 23rd.

 

Drawing inspiration from the spectacular Delaire Sunrise Diamond, her addictive melodies are only matched by sensual, yet subtle lyrical stylings. 
 

HALCYON HOPE - "Monuments" from the debut EP - focus date August 18th
Halcyon Hope are from Denmark and tracks from their Northern Lights e.p. are in rotation on the Danish commercial radio station my-ROCK. Their influences can be heard in their music - i.e. - early Biffy Clyro, Jimmy Eat World, Brand New and Taking Back Sunday.
The band were just recently featured in the May 2014 issue of RockSound (www.RockSound.tv) and the videos have had a total view count of more than 10,000 views collectively.
The e.p. was produced by Peter Lehmann (Rock Hard Power Spray, Magtens Korridorer, Turboweekend etc) in Copenhagen and the video for Monuments has picked up thousands of views since its upload in summer 2014.
On the song, the band say: "Monuments is about beginnings in many ways. It’s one of the very first songs we wrote together, but it came really easy to us. Also, we tried to let the lyrics reflect the need to make our mark on the world through music, as well as the ever present fear of falling short. A monument is short of the best combination of leaving your mark on the world through creativity."
Mastered by Alan Douches (Mastodon, Alkaline Trio, ETID etc.) at West West Side Music, New York.
Members:
Nicolaj Rosander - Bass & Vox
Morten Pedersen - Guitars & Vox 
Miki Petersen - Guitars & Vox
Simon MĆøller Andersen - Drums
Reviews:
I guess you could argue that releasing an emo rock album in 2014 is insane, especially in Denmark, but then forget about my emo designation and just listen to this as simple melodic rock. My guess is you’ll like it more than you expect * Rock-freaks.net
Color Me impressed & surprised, appealing, freshly tapped emo rock in 2014? From Denmark? We are perhaps a little too close to the latest wave to call it retro, but let’s call it a surprising & merry revival* GF Rock.
The debut EP Northern Lights came out in early 2014 and is distributed digitally through Discretion Is Paramount Records and can be found at iTunes in the specialized MFit format (Mastered For iTunes) as well as popular streaming sites Deezer, Spotify, WIMP among many others.

The stars align with Pale Green Things’ new single!
The talented artist has already seen success with past tracks and now looks set to do it all over again with the help of a Pink Flamingo.

Jack Traynor has revealed that he plans to provide audiences with a unique performance experience. The video for his latest single, Pink Flamingo being a great example of this:

 

Watch it on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=goBZW3c0EEI

Hear it on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/palegreenthings/pinkflamingo

 

Jack has supported acts such as ‘The Riffles’, ‘Dave McPherson’, and ‘The Coral’ (at Noel Gallagher’s after show party) and ‘Dirty Sanchez’. He has also accompanied ‘The Virginmarys’, an ever growing popular US group.

 

Jack’s hobbies and personal interests are heavy influencers in shaping his latest EP. Jack's interest in geography, travel and even population densities; play a key part in the songs sound and narrative. The lyrics are also inspired by the creation of fictional characters as well as autobiographical situations.

 

His latest single ‘Pink Flamingo’ is one of his most beautiful songs to date. The infectious chorus is only a part of what makes this whimsical tale of life and astronomical connections so poignant. It is based around the many events that take place under the constellations; with its main focus being about sitting outside the Flamingo Casino in Vegas. The sound is an indie pop mix drawing from influences such as The Killers, Belle and Sebastian, and Idlewild.


 

Jack has recently been recording music in Glasgow; with a music producer by the name of John McLaughlin over the last few months. John has seen great success in the past and looks to be striking another hit if Pink flamingo is anything to go by. Also, Teenage Fan club star, Francis MacDonald was involved in their recording session too.

Rollys Syndicate are the Warwickshire based band, that are mixing contemporary blues and soul. They are now set to release a new album for the summer. Working together, Milli aids Roland with moving lyrics, whilst Ro’ brings the guitar backing


 Their music has that open air quality you only really see in the Jazz genre. With great guitar playing and memorable lyrics, the band congregates together; to make a thoroughly enjoyable collection of moving and expressive tracks.


 
After a long period of co-operation with the band, Milli could no longer commit to the long term vision of the group. However, in honour of the bands history together, the Roland Syndicate decided to dedicate their debut album to Milli and her lyrical talents. Fortunately, she happily agreed to collaborate on a short term basis. It’s for this reason that most of the lyrics in the album draw their influence from both the bands everyday life and Milli’s personal journey to this point.


 

The band has now picked a new vocalist from a selection of more than 30 applicants. Her name is Natalie Brown and the band tells us that she is as good as Milli! Her background includes being the lead vocalist in the original band, StoneSoulUK from February 2006 to October 2013 (writing and performing mainly original material, as well as cover material). Natalie has also lent her vocal talents to the cover band ‘the Bottle’, whilst studying at university (1997-2000). Ontop of all this she has performed at major west midland venues such as The Yardbird, Victoria Square and The Malthouse. Natalie Brown’s influences include Mary J Blige, Alicia Keys and Michael Jackson.


 

Hungarian born, Roland produced the album as part of achieving a degree at Staffordshire University.  He has showcased his talents at many different live gigs such as: The Public (West Bromwich), Hare & Hounds (Birmingham), Bulls Head (Birmingham), Mixing Bowl Theatre (Birmingham). Roland said that he has played many live gigs but for him the biggest event was at the Sziget Festival.


 

On-top of these live shows, the group has also been featured on the ‘BBC Introducing’ series, played on Radio Warwickshire, Airplay & The Musical Journey show (live), Tweets & web mentions (Clay Lowe/SoulCuzer radio presenter), Radio Plus - Airplay & Live Room Session.


 

Through the years, Milli and Roland have developed a good understanding of the musical influences they wanted to follow, and thus developed a winning musical chemistry. Roland’s professionalism and creativity seemed to work well with Milli adding her soulful tones, as she is not only a talented vocalist, but also an amazing songwriter with a history in Drama and Literature.


 

Benny (drummer) & Luke (bass player) were both attracted to the unique mix of Soul, contemporary Blues and a touch of jazzy elements, they both relate to in their own personal musical backgrounds.


 

Luke, the bass player in the band was born in Leamington Spa in 1992, picking up his first guitar at the age of 11. It was after watching the video of November Rain that Luke’s hobby turned into a lifelong passion.  He has played from many names such as the African Kora players to Art rock bands and anyone else that would give him his next step into the starlight. His talent developed quickly due to dedication and his love to the art.


 

Benny, the band’s drummer, plays several styles including jazz, rock, blues and funk. He played in jazz trios, big bands, rock and punk bands through the years. He has recently played in the Boogie snakes and the Holly Perkins Bands.  Making appearances on many different jam sessions around Oxfordshire. Bennys drum kit is a vintage Yamaha kit from 1973, Yamaha Vintage Series snare, Zildjian cymbals with Evans heads. The drummer says that his influencers are Dennis Chambers, Ed Thigpen and Zsolt Mike.


 

The Unique combination of styles and influences Rolly’s Syndicate produce demonstrates the colourful background of the group members, Roland’s Passion for blues from a Hungarian Background, Beni’s Amazing talent and vast experience playing with various bands and Luke’s alternative veins and passion for Jazz & World Music.

As the famous Queen Song declares, The Show Must Go On... and that is exactly what some of the musicians from the hit West End show We Will Rock You have decided to do! Space Elevator is the brand new band formed by WWRY members and the brilliantly bonkers, mysterious and catsuit wearing lead singer ‘The Duchess’. Playing a similar type of rock music, unlike the iPlanet, no musical instruments are banned.


 

Neil Murray from Chiswick started his musical career at school in his first band called ‘Slap Happy and the Dum-Dums.  He was to be propelled into the limelight and was soon associated with well known big names in rock. He has played with bands and musicians such as Brian May, Whitesnake, Black Sabbath, Gar y Moore, Peter Green, Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Bernie Marsden.  Neil became a member of Black Sabbath for 3 year in 1989. In 2002 he took up the bass position for the We Will Rock You band which he has continued to stay part of the entirety of the 12 years.


 

Collectively, members of Space Elevator have performed in over 4000 WWRY shows and have been involved with the show on and off since the very beginning, either as musical director, full time band members or as guitar and keys deputies. They have also worked on other productions including Rock of Ages, Rocky Horror, Wicked, Footloose, The Sound of Music, Flashdance and Quadrophenia but now the focus is on the new music.


 


 



 
Space Elevator
“Quite simply, our debut album is all about space and would not be complete without a Dr Who song.


 The song is a tribute as I have a Time Lord crush in all his incarnations. There’s something there for every woman! He’s strong, intelligent, unobtainable (crucial), he will fight daleks and cybermen..he has two hearts.. lol! …or maybe I’m the only girl that dreamt of what her own Tardis would look like inside?


Being a huge Time Lord fan, I can’t wait for the new series with the new Doctor and wrote “I Will Find You” simply as a love song to the Doctor. You will find a lot of music artists are fans, like Brian May of Queen, Noel Gallagher, Toyah Wilcox, Meatloaf, Marc Almond, Bruce Dickinson and bet you didn’t know that the Tardis appears on a couple of Iron Maiden sleeves. How cool is that? Bob Dylan even gave permission for his music to be used in a series but in the end it wasn’t used.


Pink Floyd used the Dr Who theme on “One Of These Days” a great track with a bass line that hits you right in the groin and that’s one of the better Dr Who related songs, unlike the really awful “ I’m Gonna Spend My Christmas with a Dalek” and fun but naff “Doctorin’ the Tardis” by The Timelords.


I can’t wait for the new series, which the new Doctor has just started recording although I can’t see Peter Capaldi being into fish fingers and custard!


Even with today’s stunning CGI in horror shows, the Daleks, Zygons and Cybermen still rule as the scariest monsters for me.


 
Matt Smith was really cool… how else could he pull off wearing a bow tie, a fez, being James Cordon’s lodger and attacking Daleks with Jammie Dodgers?


 The song was originally written on the classical guitar but once the melody line was laid over the guitar part, it was clearly going to be a rock ballad. I suggested the key change and our guitarist David Young, added a huge solo which gave it a big anthemic feel.


 
The song was written during the 50th anniversary and it speaks to anyone who has that one special person in their life who they have lost but can’t ever forget. You know you can’t make it work together for whatever reason but you’ll always be thinking of each other. That has to be the most heart breaking of all kinds of love. I know you’re out there. Thinking about me whilst you’re doing your grouting or whatever. But you have a lipstick phobia and I’m never taking mine off.


 

I believe lyrics are really important, because they are written for a reason and “I Will Find You” is no different.


 

Imagine being in love with a Timelord! What a mind-messer! That’s why we made the song as bombastic and dramatic as we could. Because he’s worth it.


 

I would like to send my love and kisses to Peter and hope he likes “I Will Find You”.


 

The show just won the Radio Times TV audience award at the Baftas which I reckon is the most important one as it’s voted for by the public.


 

Finally, I have convinced our record label to giveaway the song “I Will Find You” as a Free Download to fans who are members of four specific Dr Who fan sites.


 

Space Elevator doesn’t allow any of its music to be downloaded or streamed so I had to fight tooth and nail for this within the band but I believe it’s worth it!”

The album Space Elevator is out now at HMV, Amazon and all good record stores, with the vinyl album being released on July 21st.

Entering the UK album charts at Pos 6 with their latest album ‘Hydra’ (released January 31st) saw a flying start to 2014, this was followed by a sold out UK tour, including the band’s first show at a rammed Wembley Arena.

Indigo Sixteen - new single - Hold On. Out now.
Indigo Sixteen are a young 4 piece from West Lothian, playing their own original fairly fast paced brand of indie and punk.
They were created through a guitarist and bassist looking for a drummer and another guitarist, and a guitarist and drummer looking for a band;-)
Indigo Sixteen play a variety of genres suited to each members tastes.
Unashamedly recorded in a garage, Hold On is a throw-back to the rough around the edges approach of the punk bands of the 70's.

Andriah Arrindell - Time to Shine - focus date: September 2014.
Emerging UK Soulful, Pop Singer & Songwriter Andriah Arrindell, gears 
up for the release of her debut single and album called 
“Time to Shine” co-written and produced by Afrobeat / dance producer
 Whytepatch.
The Time to Shine single recently debuted on BBC Introducing and has received positive feedback from music experts 
across UK and beyond

.
The album includes an array of tracks which showcases her sultry,
 bubbly and fabulous soprano sound.
The East London based Andriah is no stranger to the music scene as she
 features on a dance tune called "See You Dance, Dance" by Whytepatch 
which reached no 2 in the music week dance chart of June this year
 and is still being played across many pirate and community radio 
stations.
Andriah has been singing professionally since the age of 17. At 19
 she moved to New York City where she worked with Colombia records on 
some projects.
In 2003 she moved back to the UK and joined the London Community 
Gospel Choir. She performed on the music hall of fame in 2005 with
 Aretha Franklin and Jamie Cullum, performed with Madonna at Live 8
 2005 and also did studio work for Julian Lennon.
The same year she also sang onstage with Kim Burrell at the Hammersmith Apollo in 2005 which was so amazing.
Andriah was a backing singer for Shola Ama for two years and supported 
De La Soul at the Jazz Cafe in 2007. She has performed on Blue Peter 
and Glastonbury and other top venues in Britain.


 She is a seasoned traveller and has toured around Europe whilst
 supporting other choirs and on her own solo projects.
Andriah is 
brilliant songwriter and loves to write her own music. 


Her singing experience and music craft earned her a three year record 
deal in the past where one track called "Love Me Love Me Not" was 
released. The track had more success with the house mixes in Europe
 and Stateside.
As part of promoting the track, she performed in Cyprus, New York,
 Italy and in London at Cafe de Paris for the Footballers Association 
Ball.


 Notably, she also performed at the Obama Inauguration event at 
Inter-continental Hotel Park Lane with Kelly Rowland and Mica Paris.
Now surrounded with a formidable management team, her heart is focused
 on promoting the album and continuing to support the CK Gospel Choir 
which in her own words she says, “I am loving every minute of it”.

Released: September 2014 via 3Beat
Following on from the huge global success of collaborations with Lana Del Rey & Miley Cyrus, French dj/producer Cedric Gervais is back once again with a brand new release, this time in the form of a summer-time jam "Through The Night." The Grammy-winning artist takes a new approach with this catchy tune, featuring the groovy vocals of Coco, of LA based band Quadron, and a piano-laden melody that exhibits a truly 90s-influenced sound. The single shows Cedric’s diverse ability as a producer, as he continues to push his musical boundaries, enabling his fan base to grow at an incredible rate across all corners of the world.
The official video premiere is due for release imminently, the video teasers hinting at something special featuring the man himself.

JUS NOW - “LEH GO” FT BLAXX
Released: August 2014 // 3 Beat
Jus Now – the pan-Atlantic pairing of Bristol DJ/producer Interface and Trinidad’s LAZAbeam - are back with another monster party tune “Leh Go”.
The follow up to their infectious break-out track “Tun Up”, “Leh Go” is pure unadulterated sunshine, an irresistible fusion of Trinidadian Soca and unadulterated bass. The driving drums and percussion, uplifting rhythms and joyful vocal will get you on your feet and keep you jumping.
MistaJam gave the track its debut play on 1Xtra.
“Tun Up”, which featured vocals from Bunji Garlin and Stylo G, was THE anthem of Notting Hill Carnival 2013, which found radio support from DJs as diverse as Major Lazer, Annie Mac, Zane Lowe, David Rodigan, Skream and Toddla T.
And with “Leh Go”, Jus Now’s original and innovative sound is guaranteed to dominate summer 2014 too.


Fresh from being played on Radio 1 with Huw Stephens - Taking You Out, from the new e.p. from The Landed is out on July 28th 2014.
The Landed are Paul, David, Paul and Dan, four committed musicians from Coastal Essex familiar to each other through different bands and incarnations of what The Landed are today.
Combining strong home grown rhythm and blue influences with some fresh acoustic melodies and vocals that swing from gravely to positively blue sky, these guys have left behind a trail of wowed audience in their 2 year career.
With plays form BBC Radio, including 6 Music, collaborations with top international producers and some rave review in 2013, The Landed are having an even better 2014, playing a 25 date university tour with Coffee House Sessions and festival slots such as Canadian Music Week, Toronto and Ipswich Music Day in July.
'Inventive songs and great musicianship' Stephen Foster - BBC Radio Suffolk.
Lead vocalist Paul has a voice that’s full of character, sensitive and rich - and it is empowered by the organic, subtle harmonies in the extremely-catchy chorus.

Harri Larkin is a very welcome addition to the Super Sick family. The fact that she's been creating music and writing lyrics for a good long while comes across in songs that not only paint pictures in an insightful, 'I know exactly what you mean' way, but that are also backed up with Harris' real life-experience chops - bringing out a songwriter who's actually got a lot of life to write about.
The fact that she can pin these stories to edgy, groovy melodies (that induce probably more head-bobbing than is actually healthy) while never taking herself quite too seriously is the icing on Harri's musical cake.
If you like Fall Out Boy, Paramore or No Doubt, you should definitely listen to Harri Larkin.
