Ina End
Average Bear is the musical project of London-based musician Daniel Hegarty. It's about what happens when things fall apart and how we keep going. The album, Repair & Remain, was recorded with producer Jordan Lehning on the Isle of Wight and mastered by Greg Calbi, and is out late 2026. First single "Squall" is out now, with "You, Me and Our Enemies" following.
LI KUAN is a recording artist and multi-instrumentalist blending cinematic string arrangements under smooth pop melodies. As a classically trained musician, her songwriting merges the discipline of classical music with the emotive pull of modern pop to create compositions that are delicate, powerful, and reflective. Drawing influence from artists like Rosalía, Aurora, Caroline Polachek, and Florence and the Machine, LI KUAN’s sound is warm, cathartic and intricately detailed. LI KUAN's 'super powerful' first single 'The Fireworks' , as characterised by presenters, had its debut on BBC Introducing ahead of its release. LI KUAN’s second and third singles ‘So Alive’ and ‘Where Do We Go Now?’ garnered the interest of shows such as Future Hits Radio and Channel R Radio who aired the track ahead of releasing, while the song’s live performance secured her a quarter finalist spot in HOT VOX’s New Blood Competition 2025.
