Line Up

Since graduating from South London’s BRIT school, rising pop star EVALINA has had a rapid rise to prominence after she was discovered by superstar production duo Laconic, who nurtured her impressive talents throughout her teens & developed her superb songwriting skills. Despite still being in the infancy of her career, since then, EVALINA has worked with some of the biggest names in the industry, performed throughout Europe & garnered close to 20 million streams across her credits.

EVALINA’S debut single pop ‘Side Effects’ was released in July 2022 to critical acclaim. It was added to Spotify’s NMF & New Pop Revolution & went on to become BBC Introducing’s Track Of The Week. It was also crowned as 2022’s Outstanding Debut Single by Songwriter Spotlight.

EVALINA’S following single ‘Vivid’ received similar success. After she debuted it live at Amsterdam Dance Event, it was named Track Of The Day on BBC Introducing, received press coverage from Music Week, added again to Spotify’s NMF & New Dance Revolution and was praised by Becky Hill.

2023 began with the release of her single ‘I Already Told My Mama What You Did’ which was described as ‘sensational’ by Pop Passion & also selected as Track Of The Day on BBC Introducing. Following the release, EVALINA supported Louis III at his sold out show at Camden Assembly & performed at The Great Escape festival in Brighton soon after.

Well known throughout the underground Rock scene, featured on BBC, Kerrang!, Amazing Radio and Scuzz, Dead Reynolds are a high energy, fun and explosive band hailing from East Anglia, . With a wide range of original head turning anthems, Dead Reynolds have also had huge success with Spotify plays hitting huge numbers of plays, gaining traction within the scene.

Meet Xadi, a singer-songwriter, and producer from West London. Xadi's music glides in and out of future sounds and rhythms, blending R&B, indie rock, and Hip-Hop to create something wholly unique. He has a voice that isn't afraid to push boundaries, while also reflecting on growing up in the "darker sides" of London.

After teaching himself how to play the guitar, mix, master, and produce from YouTube, his fully independent mindset has taken him this far in his career. With stars such as Charli D’Amelio, and Kim Kardashian’s Brand ‘SKIMS’ endorsing his music on TikTok, and him being booked for some of Europe's biggest festivals this summer, 2023 seems set to be Xadi’s year.
