Influenced by artists and bands such as, Ben Howard, James Bay, Sam Fender and Bruce Springsteen, O’Leary implements roots of folk with ethereal soundscapes, shimmering guitars and the electric energy of rock to create the melancholic sound discovered within his music. Backed by BBC Introducing East, Leon has performed live radio sets including backstage at Latitude and has received their title ‘Track of the Week’ for single ‘Stray Dogs’, ending 2021 as one of their artists to watch for 2022. Taking to the stage with his band The Keeper of Calves featuring his sister, Issy O’Leary on guitar and Ryan Meyers on drums, Leon has featured at venues and festivals such as The Norwich Arts Centre, The Portland Arms, The Waterfront Studio, Latitude Festival, Bardfest, Ipswich Sound City, Wild Paths and The Apex. O’Leary has also been listed as a HOT VOX Future Icon and recently has been picked out of the 543 applicants as one of the 9 finalists in Lakefest’s Amped! Competition.

Singer-songwriter Freddie Joon began her career busking in and around London, where she was spotted by industry icon and Spotify's former head of editorial, Austin Daboh.

Since then, Freddie has released two EPs, achieved multiple New Music Friday slots and has accumulated over 17 million streams across Spotify and Apple Music. She has also been featured by the likes of The Line of Best Fit, Earmilk, Notion, Wonderland, BBC Introducing and PRS For Music, as well as a music placement on the hit TV series The Only Way is Essex.

After releasing her debut EP 'Dirty Laundry' [2020], Freddie spent lockdown writing and working on her second and latest EP, 'Someone Else To Talk To' [2021]. The energetic & bop-filled second EP explores themes of loneliness, insecurities and “getting over” break-ups all wrapped in lush guitar riffs, and powerful and catchy vocal hooks.

Recently, he was a finalist in the UK Songwriting competition (judged by Brit and Grammy award winning artists). He is influenced by the likes of Lily Allen, Bowie and Jamie Berry.

BBC presenter Andrew Marston commented on Bastie’s sound - “Infectious melodies and emotive lyrics from an artist at the beginning of an illustrious career”. Bastie used the lockdown(s) to hone in on his songwriting; the songs which emerged caught the attention of producer Nick Brine (produced on Oasis & Arctic Monkeys records) having discovered him on local radio. The pair started working together on Bastie’s new material at Rockfield Studios early in September.

Recently, Bastie released ‘Lullaby Highs’. The song was premiered by Hot Press Magazine. Hot Press: ‘The only way is up for the English talent. Hot Press are certainly excited to see what indie-pop anthems he emerges with next’

Bastie can be seen gigging most nights around Herefordshire and in London venues including The Bedford, Lion Coffee + Records, The Fiddler’s Elbow and at numerous Hotvox events. He also looks forward to playing at a number of festivals this year such as Boardmasters, The Big Feastival, and as a main stage opener at various Pub in the Parks.
