Billy Lockett
“The most important thing any artist has to offer is honesty,” he insists. “You’ve got to make sure the songs are perfect and your voice is flawless. The rest will take care of itself.”
Billy plays piano and guitar. He sings from the heart about things that matter to him. And his resonant, tremulous, poetic music has touched something deep inside, rising from the vast morass of new music offerings on the internet and finding an audience. Last year, Billy’s self-released Burn It Down EP topped the iTunes Singer-Songwriter chart. He has garnered over eight million streams across all platforms. “When I saw the Spotify counter going up, I thought it was broken,” Billy admits. “I had 100,000 plays in two days. I thought I needed to get my computer fixed.” But what was happening was that Billy had found his people, and they found him.
Having toured supporting Lana Del Rey, KT Tunstall and Birdy, now, at 26, Billy has signed to Warner East West Records. His talent won’t be a secret much longer
Mandy Capristo
During her successful career as a pop-singer Mandy developed her signature sound through her own taste of music, combining musical elements from various genres (pop, jazz, soul, rap) that she ins influence and encouraged by, always striving to develop her artistry into new directions. Mandy stands for powerful pop music celebrating being a woman, in a rebellious but deeply honest way.
Jonathan Pierre
Having picked up the flute as a child, he soon began teaching himself to compose on the piano, while every free moment was spent trialing new instruments in a music shop. As yet unaware of digital technology, Jonathan longed to conduct and embarked on a Musicology Masters—an essential, classical grounding. On arrival in London, unable to speak English but assured of his talent, he began busking with whatever was to hand. Little did he know that this instinctive move was to reap vast rewards, as he says, “music saved me!”
