You’ll love soul artist Mide if the likes of Ed Sheeran, Bob Marley, and James Bay are on your playlist. The London singer-songwriter has a couple of EP’s under his belt and his latest Sooner OR Later is getting a lot of attention.

The kickoff single Names which has already clocked 10,000 SoundCloud streams was featured on ITV while the EP premiered on Euphoria blog.

His attitude matches his musicianship. He says “the plan is to play more and play better and take things bigger”.

Catch Mide performing Rich Mix London on May 6th.

Up and coming KYKO from South London is creating a buzz with his latest track Native. KYKO is the 19 year old indie pop singer-songwriter Scott Verrill.

He is quickly mastering the craft of production & songwriting. Verrill is well on his way with a Radio 1 playlist spot and support from tastemakers 405, TMRW and WTGR.

He started winning audiences over with the single ‘Pull Me Up’ which was released in late 2015, clocking over one million streams, making Spotify US’s ‘New Music Friday’ playlist and the ‘Top 10 Global Viral’ charts.

Meet Papa Ya, the coming together of two producer/songwriters. The production team approaches music haphazardly. According to the duo, they are just two dudes from Los Angeles inspired to make happy music for Vegas pool parties and tropical beach chillin’. In all seriousness, they are starting to blow things up.

Having met at University of Oregon, roommates Nate and Alex began formulating a sound and crafting ‘feel good’ songs. Nate has spent time honing in his skills under the guide of hit songwriter Sam Martin, landing vocal production credits on hit songs Want To Want Me by Jason Derulo and Dirty Mind by Flo Rida. On the other band, the productions by Alex have been supported by The Chainsmokers & Mako, while his remixes have climbed to the top of the HypeM charts and racked in over a million plays.

Listen to the debut track Fine Livin’ which has already garnered 160k+ SoundCloud streams in 11 days. Check back for updates.
