An artist that is unafraid to chart new musical waters, the Liverpool-based singer-songwriter has been praised for his dynamic vocal style, captivating melodies and artistic boldness and a delicate rawness to a mature sound. After Winning 2016's Merseyrail Sound Station, Astles released his Live EP ‘Live at The Nordic’ to local critical acclaim and is 2017’s ‘LIMF (Liverpool International Music Festival) One to Watch’.
The momentum continued with his first recorded EP, ‘Full Of Wonder’, which was released in November 2017. Written by Astles, the EP was ambitious and nods to a lot of Astles’s major influences which include Pink Floyd & Jeff Buckley.
Speaking on Full Of Wonder, Astles says “I really wanted to be ambitious & create something which really showed the evolution of me as a person & as an artist. The concept behind the EP is the loss of your innocence from growing older. Losing faith in the possibilities of youth and embracing the realities of what is in front of you".
With a visual movie close to being done for the Full Of Wonder EP and a second project in the works, Astles is determined to be a powerhouse in the Liverpool and music world.
