London-based alt-soul songstress with a heart-melting vocal presence and a Billie Holiday influence.

Mika

Mika

Were Queen and ABBA to be caught in a car crash, Mika would be the mutant that crawled out of the wreckage. The Beirut-born star was vocally trained at London's Royal Opera school and developed a fetish for pop hits in his adult years, from there taking it upon himself to become a unique and glorious pop star.

Scott Matthews

Scott Matthews

Scott's musical past has seen him experiment with funk, indie, rock and soul, but his solo career has seen him take a more focused route towards folk and blues and he spent most of June 2006 supporting the Foo Fighters on their string of acoustic concerts across the UK. With influences including The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Led Zeppelin, Joni Mitchell, Marc Bolan and Joe Satriani, his music is often likened to that of American singer/songwriter Jeff Buckley.

Emmy The Great

Emmy The Great

Emmy the Great writes songs for her friends. Her friends are all double crossing liars, and some of them are dead. Emmy seems to have come out of nowhere, sharing an aesthetic backdrop with Cat Power and Regina Spektor. A point of note for any audience would be the directness and frankness with which she approaches lyricism, a keen contender on the British anti-folk scene.

Alela Diane

Alela Diane

Alela Diane is a melancholy folk singer/songwriter from Nevada City, California.

Red Light Company

Red Light Company

Red Light Company were created by vocalist and guitarist Richard Frenneaux. Following a childhood that saw him move from London to Australia to Aberdeen to New Zealand before finally settling back in the UK as a teenager, Richard developed an intense interest in pop culture. Drawing on the international experiences and his love of David Bowie, The Clash and high fashion, Richard determined to create a band that aspired to grandeur and expressed a belief in high art as a populist force, disillusioned by the prevailing culture of ordinariness he found amongst the popular bands on his return to the country of his birth. 'Red Light Company storm into contention with an Arcade Fire-like blast of intense emotion.' - The Sunday Times. 'Britain's premiere new exponents of elegiac pop-metal.' - The Guardian.
