JORDAN MACKAMPA Jordan Mackampa is a singer from Coventry who has garnered millions of streams for his smooth tone and his soul music, which feels both modern and timeless at the same time. He fell in love with the genre after listening to his mother’s favourite soul artists growing up – Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers and Curtis Mayfi eld – but brings it up to date with his catchy melodies and charming lyrics. His debut album ‘Foreigner’ was released earlier this month, ahead of his upcoming US and UK tours. charlie@highfi eldmusic.co.uk jordanmackampa.com
PIZZAGIRL Pizzagirl is the solo project of Liam Brown, a musician based in Liverpool. The fact that he is neither a girl nor affi liated with pizza is a pretty good indicator that he is not a predictable artist – he records and produces all of his music in his bedroom and performs his quirky 80s-infused hits alone on stage, accompanied only by his laptop. His ten-track debut album ‘fi rst timer’ was released in 2019. mick@heistorhit.com mypizzagirl.com
THE DUNTS The Dunts are a high-energy punk indie band who draw their infl uences from bands such as The Arctic Monkeys and The Frights. The four-piece formed in 2016 in Glasgow but have won fans throughout the UK following their UK headline tour. They have received lots of support from Radio 1, even performing a session at the iconic Maida Vale Studios for Jack Saunders on Radio 1’s Indie Show. Their most recent EP ‘Self Proclaimed Council Punk’ was released in 2018. jim@7westmusic.com thedunts.co.uk
TIM BURGESS Tim Burgess is a musician and singer-songwriter from Cheshire, best known for being the frontman of British alt-rock band The Charlatans for 30 years. Aside from the long list of accolades he picked up as part of The Charlatans, he has also released four solo albums, most recently ‘As I Was Now’, released on his own label O Genesis in 2018. The songs that became the album were as originally recorded in 2008 with a band which included members of My Bloody Valentine, The Horrors, Primal Scream and Ladyhawke. millsea@me.com facebook.com/timburgessmusic
KING NUN King Nun are a rock band from South London inspired by the likes of Sonic Youth and The Velvet Underground. Their debut album ‘Mass’ was released in October via Dirty Hit, and prompted NME to describe them as a band that are ‘brutal and brilliant in their honesty’. glen@kyotomusic.co.uk kingnun.com
