Loria Boban is pioneering a new-wave “funky-soul,” a sound that can best be described as a fusion of funk, soul, R’n’B, rock and rap. Her raw, lyrical-heavy music has been compared to the unorthodox style that made Prince, Erykah Badu, and Alicia Keys timeless artists.

 

Deeply heart-felt lyrics and a soulful pop powerhouse. Bee Bakare’s music hopes to spread a message of being brave and following your dreams. The Nigeria-Born British singer-songwriter has recently won a Future music Songwriting award and performed at Buckingham palace. She is currently on tour performing debut Album ‘Wild Things’.

 

Spanish singer-songwriter Patri Riquelme (ROBIN) began playing the acoustic guitar at the age of 15, finding inspiration in powerful women as Amy Winehouse, Lauryn Hill and Etta James. Though originally starting out in the duo called “She Robin”, the solo artist loves to mix Spanish and English in all her songs.

 

Following a career defining moment with a cut on Avril Lavigne’s single “Tell Me It’s Over”, Toronto-bred London-based singer/songwriter Melissa Bel is quickly becoming a sought-after songwriter. A kind of soul-infused pop. Her recent single “If She Hadn’t Lied” reached #10 on the iTunes Canada Singer/Songwriter chart.
