David McAlmont

David has collaborated with everyone form Bond Composer David Arnold to Michael Nyman, Paul Weller and most famously with Bernard Butler producing the classic hit single Yes.

David’s music is pure emotion, drawing unique soulful portraits from his own life and philosophies.

Imaani

It wasn’t until Nottingham born Imaani moved to London in her late teens, that a chance meeting with a record producer led to her first recording. Her first paid gig was dancing as a shadow in one of Jocelyn Brown’s videos. She never looked back!

“One of the most wonderful and memorable voices...” Bluey

Imaani has since performed on television, in the studio, and live with artists including Nile Rodgers, Chaka Khan, Maceo Parker, Philip Bailey, Jimmy Cliff, UB40, Gloria Gaynor, Incognito, Betty Wright, Mica Paris, Stephen Marley, Julian Marley, Leon Ware and Aswad.

Her lead vocal features on the Urban Species album "Blanket", Reel People’s ‘Seven ways to wonder’ album and Down to the Bone’s album 'The Main Ingredients’
