I am an open format EDM DJ with the power of autism and neurodivergent. Back at February 2020 before lockdown, I have been inspired by my friend and the world famous DJ, James Hype. I have been taught by to watch on YouTube channel called Crossfader. In April 2023, I was so more than happy because I am on the guestlist multiple times at the iconic club in London, Ministry Of Sound and so, I can go the backstage to meet, greet and networking with the other world famous DJs. Now, I can mix a lots of EDM genres such as House (Deep, Tech, Bass, Future), Techno, Trance, UK Garage, Dubstep, Future Bass, and Drum N' Bass. One day, I would love to be an international DJ. I know it took long to go more through up in my dreams like David Guetta.

Confessions wrapped in an indie-folk-pop style… Born and bred in London, Nicky Phillips felt the pull to move north; she shares her open-hearted songs on both guitar and piano through intimate performances across North West England.

Although Nicky had previously been active on the music scene, it was 2021 that pulled her back with her first ever release and self-titled debut EP with sold out shows in both Cheshire and London. The EP saw success in ‘Home’, which was a semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Competition and was featured on Indie Folk Central’s first ‘Women of Indie Folk’ compilation. Another song from the EP, ‘The Dark’, was featured on BBC Music Introducing. Nicky has just finished her first tour in May 2024, including London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Manchester.

A self-taught vocalist and pianist, 26-year-old George Bone is an award-winning Essex & London-based artist. While a pop artist holistically, George combines Folk, Neo-Jazz & RnB elements together with his thought-provoking writing & lyrics. His artists inspirations reflect this, ranging from country icons such as Christ Stapleton and Dan + Shay, to the British-based Bruno Major, Eloise & Conor Albert. Accompanied by a band, George is energetic; accompanying himself on keys, however, and you’re provided with an emotional, interactive experience leaving attendees craving more.

George has supported the likes of Mica Paris at The Ivy House, UK The Voice winner Molly Hocking at a sold-out show in both Camden and Islington, and Andrew Cushin on the day of his album release (after coming back from an international tour with Louis Tomlinson). If that was not enough, George has taken part in Festivals across the country, ranging from Northern Kin (County Durham), Wokingham Festival (Berkshire), Taste of London Festival (Greater London) and the inaugural Sounds Good Festival (Essex).

Amassing over 160,000 streams on Spotify alone, George is “on the cusp of tipping into the mainstream, this year or next” (Michelle Ward, PhoenixFM). His debut solo single ‘Valencia’ “[pushes] the genre forward with [a combination of] 00s indie pop aesthetics[s in this] emotionally disarming ballad” (A&R Factory), and both of his follow-up singles (“One/Two Summer Fling” and “Yours Today”) were made Tracks of the Week on BBC Introducing Essex & Cambridge. On the back of George being announced as the ‘Best Male Artist 2023’ at the Radio Wigwam Awards, and with more music to come in 2025, remember George’s name.
