Emotion, passion and desire are at the forefront of Liam's music. Working mainly with acoustic instruments, almost all of Liam's songs are born on the guitar. From there, the artists gradually build these little whispers into louder, more electrical cries. Liam's songs undulate between rock, folk, and pop, with the occasional electronic flare. If you’ve ever felt like lying alone in a field somewhere drew you closer to something bigger, in yourself, or to something else, Liam's music is the place for you.
Phebe is an independent songwriter, combining ethereal melancholic vocals with an electronic ambience created by the artist and the piano. Expect deep lyrical content drawn from personal experience.
Rachel Oyawale is a London-born singer-songwriter, operatic soprano, and interdisciplinary artist of Nigerian and Dominican heritage. With influences ranging from Lianne La Havas, Moses Sumney, and Minnie Riperton to Florence Welch, Jeff Buckley, and Nina Simone, her sound blends ethereal vocals with intricate storytelling.
Rachel's musical journey has taken her from the stages of English National Opera, Dutch National Opera, and Scottish Opera to collaborations with NYX Electronic Drone Choir and London Voices. Her artistry extends beyond music—she is also an award-winning poet and playwright. She is a Barbican Young Poet recognised by the Creative Future Awards, and the Almeida Theatre’s emerging playwrights programme.
Her upcoming EP, The Sea is History, explores the sea as a personal and historical archive, drawing inspiration from Derek Walcott’s poetry. A fusion of lush harmonies, experimental textures, and evocative lyricism, the project marks a new chapter in her genre-bending artistry.
