Amaris is a jazz + soul vocalist and multi-disciplinary musician from Birmingham, currently residing in London after having taken a deep dive into the depths of the London music scene.
Exploring classic jazz practice with a soulfully authentic twist, Amaris has been making waves with a captivating vocal and distinctive tone. Amaris’s original music sheds light on themes of introspection and human connection. Raised on the music of Sarah Vaughan, Steel Pulse, D’Angelo and Jill Scott, their sound is an amalgamation of these influences through the lens of the British Caribbean experience.
The project of Istanbul-born, now London-based Bilge Nur Yilmaz, Tendertwin is a forager for half-lived stories. Nurtured transatlantic, her distinctive voice subtly soaks up Turkey’s rich musical heritage from the lapping tides of the Black Sea and Mediterranean, filtering it through drifting time spent in Philadelphia, Oxford, and London. Her music blends alternative folk with experimental elements, weaving landscapes into ambient textures, wrong-footing melodies, and unpredictable arrangements. With subtle allusions to the likes of Fiona Apple, Linda Perhacs, and Sharon Van Etten, her storytelling is centered around a voice both delicate and arresting.
Da Lata is the brainchild of Chris Franck (founding member of Smoke City) and DJ Patrick Forge.
They have blazed a trail for the progressive fusion of Afro/Brazilian rhythms with a London twist since 1997. In 1998 they recorded the song “Pra Manha” and were subsequently signed to Chris Blackwell’s Palm Pictures label. Their debut album “Songs from the Tin” was released in 2000 to great critical acclaim. The live band went on to tour Europe, US and Japan which included a line up of drummer Tristan Banks (Steve Winwood), keyboard and vocalist Mike Lindup (Level 42) bass player Andy Lafone, vocalist Liliana Chachian and percussionist Oli Savill.
