mia van de loo

Nashville-based indie folk-pop artist mia van de loo creates heartfelt songs exploring identity, belonging and the universal search for connection. Through intimate storytelling and understated arrangements, she invites listeners into deeply personal moments that often reflect shared human experiences.

Latest single ‘upstream’ was inspired by diary entries written during high school, capturing the longing to fit in while trying to understand who you are. Built around acoustic guitar and gentle cello, the track embraces vulnerability, encouraging listeners to find belonging not in becoming someone else, but in accepting where they are.

Omeyad

French singer-songwriter Omeyad combines her classical training with jazz and contemporary influences to create dreamlike, offbeat music. Her debut EP MERMAID, arriving in September, sees her take on roles as composer, arranger and performer.

Latest single ‘The Mermaid Song’ tells the story of a mermaid who longs to escape a world where she feels she doesn’t belong. Through its whimsical storytelling, the song explores the universal desire to find somewhere that feels more beautiful, welcoming and true to who we are.

Emily Ashberry

Nottingham-based folk singer-songwriter Emily Ashberry explores the connections between English and Appalachian folk music through her richly detailed songwriting. Her forthcoming debut album Ocean Big & Wide draws on her British and Appalachian heritage, tracing musical and personal connections across the Atlantic.

First single ‘The Bee Charmer’ combines traditional Americana influences with Ashberry’s distinctive storytelling, telling a queer love story against the backdrop of the American South. Inspired in part by Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe, the track offers a glimpse into an album rooted in love, loss, home and heritage.

Ginger Wade

New York City-born artist Ginger Wade combines punk attitude with pop, blues, rock ‘n’ roll and Americana influences. A self-described global nomad, she brings a rhythmic electric guitar and a healthy dose of humour to songs exploring sex, desire, obsession and rage.

‘Teeth & Claws’ takes its inspiration from both Ginger’s cat and the people who have pushed her patience too far. Packed with attitude and a playful warning to anyone who crosses the line, the track showcases the brassy confidence and irreverent spirit at the heart of her music.
