Tailor is a London-based South African born singer-songwriter and musician known for her outlandish performance style and poignant songwriting. Recent live and studio collaborations have come aplenty since the move to the capital with Ed Kowalczyk (Live), Jamie Morrison (Stereophonics), Kongos and Pete Boxta Martin (Sugababes, Jessie J) all lending credits to new work.

Tailor has performed solo shows at iconic London venues, including The Bedford, The Troubadour and The Half Moon and performed in high profile festivals including Austin Texas’ SXSW, South Africa’s OppiKoppi and The Real Concert Series in The United Kingdom and South Africa.

In 2017 Tailor was asked to open for Johnny Clegg on his final tour, played to sold-out audiences in South Africa and London’s exemplary Apollo Theatre in Hammersmith.

Later this year, Tailor will join the infamous American band The Posies on their 30th anniversary tour across the United Kingdom. In August Tailor will perform live in The Apollo in Hammersmith alongside Prime Circle and Just Jinjer in a Real Concerts concept show.

"With her two previous studio releases, Tailor has proven that she has mastered both the brooding folksy dark pop genre (Dark Horse released in 2012), as well as the upbeat, commercial indie pop genre (Light released in 2014)." - Dee Theart - louisepiterse.com

"Tailor's breathtaking and awe-inspiring stage performance is something to behold. The UK has not seen the likes of it since Bat For Lashes broke the scene some time back..." - Musigooroo

POLITIK is a female-led indie trio based in London, UK. Their sound is best described as alternative ethereal rock, drawing on influences from the likes of Florence + The Machine, The XX, Coldplay and Twenty One Pilots.

After graduating from their music studies, the trio ventured overseas with their band, honing their craft while travelling the coasts of Europe, Australia, Asia, the South Pacific, the Caribbean, and the American east coast.

After two years abroad, the band returned to South Africa with an arsenal of songs and travel experiences to record their debut album in August 2016.

Tell Me The Answer, the bands debut album, was released in April 2017.

Politik delivers an explosive live show while delivering their brand of melodic hooks, coupled with emotive lyrical content that addresses universal issues with a refreshing sincerity.
