Love Me Loud (Radio Edit)

Pop, Singer Songwriter

Dani Sylvia is an artist who captures how unreasonably awful it is to be human, without making you want to throw things at the radio. Her soulful voice resonates with the sound of raw heartbreak embedded in a world of expansive, anthemic misery-pop. Music for the outsider, to dance and scream-cry to. She is a poignant artist of true individualism, painful self-awareness and awkward, witty realism. Dani is about to embark on her exciting project ‘1.11’; an album which consists of a series of searing singles and raw visuals that capture what it means to be a human in this crazy/beautiful world.

Fickle Friends

Pop, Singer Songwriter

Gloucestershire-born, London based Blossom Caldarone is a master of story-telling, with upbeat tunes in addition to the truthful, witty craftsmanship of her lyrics, which embody nostalgic Lily Allen and Kate Nash vibes, to the conversational, laidback ease with which she sings. Since releasing her first EP back in 2017 Blossom has been releasing a constant stream of singles showcasing her lyrical genius, while also weaving in her talents as a classically trained pianist and cellist. Yet what makes it truly special is its balance between delicious sentimentality and an unwavering relevance that resonates with the youth culture of today. Blossom is undoubtedly an artist to keep an eye on. She is fresh, witty and unlike a lot that is out there, she has a truly authentic voice that deserves a listen.

A prolific songwriter and artist, Philip has amassed over 3 million plays on Spotify with plenty of hungry followers on his tail.
