Freddie Lewis:
‘Having already turned heads in the Bristolian music scene, and among queer pop circles, now Lewis’ sights are set much wider. Shortlisted as one of PRS’ Keychange Artists of 2023, a group of up-and-coming European and Canadian talent to watch out for, and already gracing stages at The Great Escape and Glastonbury, Lewis’ trajectory is nothing short of hyperbolic.’ - Line Of Best Fit
‘A leader in the UK and queer music scenes, Freddie Lewis is quickly rising.’ - Wonderland
Freddie Lewis, a rising trans artist from Bristol, has spent the past two years making a name for himself within the UK queer scene. His music uses thought-provoking lyricism, infectious hooks, and genuine emotion, drawing from jazz and electronic influences. Since his debut single 'Growing Pains' in 2021, Freddie has received widespread support from the LGBTQ+ community in the UK, as well as being featured on BBC Radio 1 and Radio 6 Music, Spotify’s ‘New Music Friday’, ‘Fresh Finds’ and ‘Our Generation’ playlists and earning a spot as a cover artist on Spotify's 'Transcend' playlist for four months. With many performances across the country, including renowned festivals like The Great Escape and Glastonbury, Freddie returns in 2023 with his second E.P. ‘More Than That’.

Nat Oaks:
Nat Oaks is at the forefront of exciting artists to look out for in 2023.
Reinventing and reconditioning the genre of hip-hop, Oaks has an innovative
approach that is infectious and blends nuances of modern pop and rap, taking
inspiration from Lauryn Hill’s earnestness and the vibrance of Tyler The
Creator. Paired with a sunshine production that is fresh and refined for today’s
industry, the Gloucestershire based singer-songwriter has already played big
UK festivals in Boomtown, Wireless Festival and Love Saves The Day, with her
compelling and rich hip-hop sound. With consistent support from BBC
Introducing and featured in the likes of NOTION, Wordplay Magazine and
FAME, she embarks on her biggest year yet, with a plethora of new material at
the ready.

El Knight:
El Knight is an independent singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer. Their debut album in 2021 marked the return of Trip-Hop into a modern climate, with fusions of Downtempo and Electronica.
El released their second album in 2022, using it to further explore their passion for Trip-Hop, whilst borrowing elements from other genres to create something unique.

MLY:
Born in a rural commuter village in the South East of England, MLY grew up with a mother in an all-girl rock band. Spending summers touring biker festivals across Europe in a decades-old campervan, they were raised on a diet of rock and metal. Drawn to the lighter intricacies of indie-pop, a genre banned in her parents’ household, they wound up in Bristol, running underground DIY post-punk shows and championing femme and non-binary artists such as locals Grandmas House & Grove. Having recently released their debut single, Lovers, MLY has traveled around the UK, showcasing intimate and vulnerable performances of new and unreleased original music.
