21 year old singer-songwriter spreading music to the world. Seb first started producing music in his home studio about 4 years ago. And has recently hit new levels of energy and emotion in his indie pop style of music. He has had reviews from popular music blogs quoting – “An artist and songwriter with a fine ear for melody and a willingness to keep things genuine and open lyrically – not to mention a singer with a superb, powerful and memorable vocal style.” – Music journalist Rebecca Cullen. He was also awarded 5 stars! For his song ‘Play That Song Again’ by The Uk Songwriting Competition, who also said – “it demonstrates song writing of a professional standard.” With several BBC radio plays to his name, it is fair to say that Seb Turner-Moore is by far a young rising star!
Dionne
Hailing from the vibrant city of Birmingham, Dionne is a force to be reckoned with in the world of dance-pop. A virtuoso in every sense, she seamlessly blends her classical roots as a violinist and guitarist with the rhythmic prowess of contemporary pop. Inspired by iconic figures such as Rihanna, Michael Jackson, and The Arctic Monkeys, Dionne has curated a signature sound that effortlessly fuses the energy of pop with the sophistication of dance, creating an auditory experience that captivates audiences worldwide. Dionne’s musical journey has taken her to stages across the globe, sharing the spotlight with acclaimed artists. Boasting two world tours with Laura Mvula and two with Florence + The Machine, Dionne has not only graced audiences with her enchanting performances but has also proven her mettle as a collaborator with some of the industry’s finest. Dionne takes the reins of her artistic vision, serving as both the mastermind behind the music and the creative force penning the lyrics. Her dedication to self-production and songwriting elevates her work, resulting in a body of work that is uniquely her own. Step into the world of Dionne, where classical finesse meets contemporary beats. With a background as diverse as her sound, Dionne invites you to immerse yourself in a musical universe where every note tells a story, and every beat resonates with passion.
The Ramshackles
Dancing rhythms on a mixture of funk, punk, rock n roll and soul, with frenetic basslines, excitement, love for catchy melodies, we hope are all contained in our tracks and live shows. We’re The Ramshackles, a London based band and formed at the end of 2019 Mixing influences like The Black Keys, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Tame Impala, Led Zeppelin, The White Stripes, The Clash and The Velvet Underground.
FUTURE BABY
Born as 2 in London then grown to 5 in Brighton, FUTURE BABY is a Rock project with goals of exciting Modern Rock back into its former glory. With influence and inspiration spanning as far as Radiohead to Talking Heads, there’s nowhere the band won’t go in discovering something new.
Even Fred’s Happy
Post-pop outfit Even Fred’s Happy is bringing its latest project to the stage in 2024. Performing as a 6-piece of anxious and goofy fools, the band have established a reputation for chaotic yet charming live performances across London. Sounding somewhere between 1975, Yard Act and LCD Soundsystem , Even Fred’s Happy gives a voice to the voice in the back of your head that doubts everything you do. Mental health comes in many shapes and sizes, and if Even Fred’s Happy can provide even just a wry smile in its exploration of this, then the job is done.
