According to the Guinness Book of Records, Liverpool has had more music artists with number one records than any other city in the world. Dubbed the 'City of Pop', Liverpool's history of pumping out hit acts extends beyond those infamous four lads responsible for helping to change the landscape of music. It's also no surprise that Liverpool is the city that singer/songwriter Jennifer Davies calls home. Sonically polished with a multifaceted style of pop nirvana, Davies is set to shoot to the stars with a sound that contains an irresistible charm and flair.
Jennifer Davies' current EP "Lapse of Time" is a 5-song package of stadium-status pop and indie, graced with catchy hooks, personal songwriting and the impressively grand production of Tord Knudsen of The Wombats fame. With each song on the EP a possible hit record, Davies has all of her bases covered to gain certified chart success in an organic fashion. Similar to the pop tradition that is steeped in Liverpudlian culture, Davies' legitimate star-like qualities and imperial sound is helping to comfortably place her in a position to bring home not only a hit for herself and her team, but another one for her city.

London's East End has built a reputation of spawning limit-testing producers whose twisting and re-shaping of sound have at times, birthed an entire new genre on to itself. Maybe in a way it makes perfect sense for production duo Tommaso Wallwork and Ady Razor, known as Wallwork & RZR, to call East London their home. Based in Hackney Wick, the two who dub their sound as 'forward thinking bass music', actually made a name for themselves as ghost producers working on everything from Hip-Hop to rock. Eventually Wallwork & RZR decided to delve more into the edgier sounds of electronica, producing DnB, garage and experimental UK bass. With their EP "Mad Techno Invasion" released through the Canadian label Infinite Machine, the duo are expanding the possibilities of how far bass music can indeed stretch out sonically.

We are living in a period of time where musical freedom is at an all time high, yet uniqueness seems to buried underneath a mountain of acts all trying to be the be the next 'it' artist by virtually replicating the current trendy star of the moment. Georgia Mason is unique in more ways than a few. The obvious one lies in her vocals. Organically warm, her falsetto voice is like an instrument in itself, played like a lofty jazz musician who well understands his tool. Mason's next form of uniqueness is situated in her journey. Instead of trying to become the next internet sensation, she made treks over to Paris to learn and play with musicians and artists on the street. Mind you, this is after going through formal training. Perhaps this is why her music is like an art piece, something has lasting value...something that is certainly intriguing and ravishing.
Sexy, sassy, stylish and more importantly, talented are truly only a few words to describe London-based singer Liza Owen. Born to a Cambodian mother and a British father, Owen’s fierceness is practically embedded in her music and undoubtedly in her fashion. It becomes evident why thousands and thousands of people follow the bombshell on Instagram. However, within her world of glamour is also a bursting pride about her Khmer heritage that she holds near and dear. In fact, Owen is a shining model for the Cambodian community in the UK and abroad. Yet while she effortlessly walks the line between both cultures, Liza Owen’s status should honestly be marked as ‘global’. And one thing is certain, she knows that the world is soon to be in the palm of her hands.
