RAYLO
Raylo's first collaborative piece came via slightly more unusual circumstances than most bands, having been asked to create a song for major international brand ‘Pot Noodle’. Their song ‘Winner’ went super viral late 2015 on Youtube, putting RAYLO on the map and the track got picked up by Ultra Music. Since then the boys have continued to develop their own rare sound inspired by the likes of N.E.R.D, Gnarls Barkley, Nas, Miguel, Calvin Harris, Rudimental, Stevie Wonder and Nirvana.
RAYLO finished 2016 with a string of live shows across the U.K., including headlining the sold out "Big Freshers Ice-Breaker" Tour, and several London gigs including ILUVLIVE, Tramp, Camden Proud, The Vault and Tape. With the classic line-up of 2 amazing vocalists and a killer DJ, RAYLO have blown the roof off every venue they've played to date, with a mix of their original material and party anthems.
NADIA SHEIKH
Don’t let her delicate voice trick you, Nadia Sheikh definitely knows how to rock out. On her way to make a mark on the British music scene, Nadia is one to watch. The London based songstress combines indie, rock and pop with folky and jazzy vocals creating a characteristic and unique sound that she showcases in her original songs. Quirky melodies and catchy choruses with incredibly insightful lyrics – not representative of your average 21 year-old. With an impressive cultural background, the half British, half Spanish artist has the power to captivate you with her haunting voice. She's gigged extensively and has been picking up airplay on Gary Crowley's Bbc London show, EGH Radio,
“There is something special about this performer. Undeniably talented, her modesty on stage, her talent and her desire to make things happen will ensure a bright future for Nadia Sheikh." - We Plug Good Music.
