THE LAST MORRELL
Raised in a small town in Yorkshire, isolated and lonely, The Last Morrell grew up being comforted by the sounds of Seattle grunge and the alternative rock scene. The lyrics painted feelings of being trapped, bored and angry which connected The Last Morrell to an American sound that has permeated through his first songs written as a teenager, to present day. Having received praise from Jessie Ware on BBC Radio 1 and Robert Elms on BBC Radio London, as well as plays on every BBC Introducing show in the UK, The Last Morrell has now released his debut EP, and recently toured the UK supporting Post Modern Jukebox. “The voice is captivating... I love it, I had to play this again and again I was completely enamoured by this artist, so thank you for Another Boy, The Last Morrell. I love it, absolutely love it.” - Jessie Ware - BBC Radio 1
HEDARA
Just like the Ivy after which she is named, Hedara, is an ever climbing artist with a powerful and unique voice and writing style. Hedara is a singer/songwriter played on R1, R2, BBC 6 Music, KISS FM. Unique in her vocal talent - covering everything pop to dance to rock. Her music has been premiered in Clash Magazine, Earmilk and Adidas x Girls Are Awesome!
LUCHI
Retro soul in a modern body, Luchi defines her music as: "Soul to the core, R&B in the stomach, Jazz as a spray of perfume and Gospel all around; Vintage Pop". With a style taking influence from artists such as Adele, Amy Winehouse and Jorja Smith, Luchi is on a constant search for the inner complexity of all simple things; like the feeling of falling in love, the feeling of being alone or the search to belong. She tells her story through her songs and by doing that, her songs are easily identifiable to anyone who has experienced love deeply, at least once in their lives.
