Born and raised in Aberdeen, Heff has been playing in bands since she was a teenager, often alongside the raft of Scottish indie boys that flooded her native scene. Moving to London in her early 20s, she formed an electro-pop duo that went on to amass a decent following, before going solo to explore the more personal and reflective aspects of her creative output. As an artist, VanSaints seeks to combine queer culture with themes that are universal and part of the human condition.

Combining elements of pop, electronic, and indie with 80s influences, VanSaint’s music traverses the liminal space between frank honesty and hopeful optimism, with the songwriter interested in exploring environments that challenge fixed definitions, exploring the inherent messiness of being human.

Naming iconic songwriters such as Bruce Springsteen, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young as her main influences, she uses songwriting and storytelling as a prism through which to make sense of life’s experiences from her unique perspective, drawing inspiration from her love of artists with an androgynous image and energy, like The XX, Frank Ocean, St Vincent, and of course greats like Prince and Bowie.

With previous releases spanning themes of unrequited love, loneliness, the cost of living crisis, and navigating life as a creative person in London, VanSaint channels her experiences as a young creative living through challenging times into her melancholy but hopeful material.

William Warren is an indie rock singer-songwriter born and bred in the heart of Camden. Combining a crooning vulnerable voice and the energy of an MC owing to his earlier hip-hop roots, Warren’s contemporary anthems are both danceable and gut-wrenching. Songs like ‘Winter Sleep’ and ‘Painter’s Son’ detail emotional pain, struggle, and bravery akin to the romance of The Smiths, all with a back beat not dissimilar from 70s disco and Motown. His rise in the London live music scene is imminent.

Bella Coupland is a 20 year old country singer songwriter from the North East, currently living in London. Being "physically in the UK, but mentally in Nashville", Bella has been raised on country her whole life. Her music is a blend of a traditional country sound with contemporary influences. Her debut single “Fool” comes out on the 7th March, so stay tuned for new music!

Tarian, which translated to ‘shield’, is a Welsh songwriter and musician that blends a unique sound encompassing singer-songwriter traditions, Hip Hop, and emotive pop. His musical journey began in his childhood, influenced by his Dad’s music collection and his own early band experiences. As a teenager, Tarian found catharsis in both death metal and opera, and after studying classical voice at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama, he began honing his songwriting and production skills. Early projects had some success, including support from BBC Introducing and BBC Radio 6, but self doubt became an obstacle that prevented Tarian from releasing music officially. It wasn't until 2020, during the global lockdown, that his breakthrough came.

In his bedroom in South Wales, Tarian crafted the song ‘Half of Mine’, which would eventually reach over 1.5 million streams after being reworked by UK rap duo Frankie Stew & Harvey Gunn. The track’s success marked the beginning of Tarian’s solo career under the label Good Times Co with several subsequent releases receiving international press support. Drawn to his authenticity, Tarian has connected with millions of people through his TikTok account and earned himself an extremely loyal fanbase of close to 20 thousand followers.

Tarian's music speaks to his experiences with mental health, self-doubt, and personal growth, resonating with listeners who find solace in his heartfelt melodies and emotionally charged lyrics. With upcoming live shows and new music on the horizon, Tarian is poised to continue connecting with audiences worldwide, offering them a sense of unity through his songs.
