EM
"EM is a 20-year-old folk and indie pop artist based in Bath. Crafting interesting melodic lines, emotional, meaningful lyrics, and taking creative influence from artists like Billie Marten, RY X, dodie and Birdy. She has been writing music since she was 10 and has been working with her current guitarist, Lois Edge, since 2021.
EM has since made her impression by performing at small local venues around Bath and Bristol, including The Forum Coffee House, Moles and Mr Wolf’s, and most recently supported a small band from Bristol at The Thunderbolt, Bristol."
Lois Edge
"Lois Edge is an alternative indie folk musician currently based in Bath/Bristol. Originally from a little town called Southport just north of Liverpool, Lois Edge has been studying and making music for nearly ten years, with a strong focus on their original music. They take inspiration from everyday life and their mental health experiences, writing intriguing, melancholy, and emotive lyrical-focused music.
Lois is currently studying for a degree in Commercial Music at Bath Spa University and working towards the first release of an EP. You will find them crammed into a corner of a coffee shop or bar, awkwardly cross-legged, notebook in hand, always writing and creating.
They take inspiration from the likes of Big Thief and Adrienne Lenker, Nick Drake and Phoebe Bridgers and have been commented in likeness to,’Dolores O’Riordan’ and ‘Joni Mitchell.’
‘I may only be just starting out in my career, however my love for music is unwavering, I simply want to write, and share music relatable and meaningful hopefully to others.’"
Rosie Alexandra
"I'm Rosie Alexandra, Brightonian at heart grounded in Soul, RnB and Gospel music. I'm here to use my voice to bring about change by pouring my heart into every soul-full melody. My sound is Pop-Soul and goes back to 'pop' in its most natural form, drawing a sentimental ballad style and rich harmony from jazz, gospel, and soul. My lifelong inspos are Yebbo, Bill Withers, Adele, Stevie Wonder and Jorja Smith so harnessing power and rawness in both lyrics and tone is second nature to me. The influence I draw from the warm textures of Bill Withers and the raw honesty of Jorja Smith creates beautiful, bold tenderness. My music encapsulates my strong mind with my passionately loving heart and each song is a fragment of my journey, that echoes the reflections of my soul.
My music reveals something of all I have been through in my life so far, who it has made me today, and how it has made me see the world. When I began my songwriting journey I made the decision that my creativity would always come from a place of honesty, realness and authenticity and for many years I have loved the work of Yebba, who too has seen just how tough life can be. Her songs have sat with me, uplifted, encouraged and soothed me. Like her, I am distinctive in a tender and rich vocal sound as well as personal and vulnerable in nature. I am inspired to breathe lyrics that capture the feeling, connect authentically and hit deeply which is what I will be remembered for."
