Line Up
Francesca Jane is an 18 year old independent R&B/Soul singer, songwriter and music producer based in London. Last year, whilst studying Musical Theatre at The BRIT School, she independently produced and released her first single, 64, as well as her EP ‘An Introductory Tale: Lavender Kisses’ (both out on all streaming platforms).
With her 90s R&B/Hip-Hop inspired sound shown in her songs such as ‘Lavender Kisses’ and ‘Panacea’ as well as the uptempo, K-Pop inspired ‘Polaris’, showing off her strong versatility as a musician. Her most recent release, ‘Switch You Out’, is a single inspired by bassy 90s R&B/Hip-Hop. ‘Switch You Out’ is a fresh listen which is out now on all streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Soundcloud and Youtube. Since she was young she has written songs and has been producing music on GarageBand since she was 11. Music has always surrounded her. Francesca Jane is a jack of all trades, from her self-taught ability to play the piano and guitar to her dancing and acting ability, Francesca Jane is a force to be reckoned with and a new artist to keep an eye out for.
Her biggest musical inspirations are: Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Christina Aguilera, Aaliyah, Coldplay, Ariana Grande, Queen, Amy Winehouse, Rihanna, Daft Punk, 2Pac, Frank Ocean, Timbaland and Pharrell.

Jenny Lascelles is a singer-songwriter and pianist from Newcastle Upon Tyne, performing regularly both as a solo artist and with her band.
Jenny has just released her third album, ‘A Little Louder’, which takes her music in an entirely new direction – away way from the acoustic and folk-influenced genre, and towards her darkest sound yet, Northern indie pop with cinematic electronic and vocal layers.
Her latest songs are her most intimate work to date, and have received critical acclaim and national radio play including BBC Introducing North East and BBC Introducing Tees. She is looking forward to bringing her band and new music down South!
Ollie Hutton is a singer-songwriter from Portsmouth that comes equipped with strongly emotive and heartfelt songs, which are performed with his vocals guitar playing.
