  Charli XCX

  Over the course of her trailblazing career, Charli xcx has earned critical acclaim for her forward-thinking musical output and refreshing entrepreneurial spirit that has seen her carve her own lane on the global pop circuit. A singer, songwriter, video director, documentary maker, radio host and record label boss, Charli’s story is one of an artist continuing to succeed without compromise.

  Beginning to release music in 2008, Charli has continuously strived to take the road less travelled throughout her career, with her debut album True Romance setting a benchmark for avant-garde pop music. This created a trajectory that has seen her write some of the world’s biggest hits (Icona Pop’s ‘I Love It’, Iggy Azalea’s ‘Fancy’, Camila Cabello & Shawn Mendes’ ’Senorita'), while embracing pop’s most uninhibited sounds within her own work - gaining her a following that began in a cult capacity before spreading worldwide - assembling her own world via her fandom, affectionately called the Angels.

  A one-woman force within the industry, Charli’s relentless work rate extends to writing for other artists while releasing her own music, running her own Vroom Vroom Recordings label, directing music videos and managing Nasty Cherry - a group she formed that has been documented on the Netflix series ​I’m With The Band.​

  Armed with an attitude to dropping music that flipped the industry hegemony of release structure on its head, Charli’s groundbreaking 2017 mixtapes ​Number 1 Angel and ​Pop 2,​ as well as the standout summer crush anthem “Boys”, established her reputation as a singular talent with a defiant attitude to creation. Those releases were instrumental in establishing Charli’s keen ear for underground artists, spotlighting the likes of CupcakKe, ABRA, Tommy Cash and Pablo Vittar - helping to change the landscape of pop worldwide and take the genre to new heights.

  2018 proved to be another stellar year. Following a series of tracks drops – ‘​5 In The Morning’​, ‘​No Angel​’, ‘​Focus’​ and ‘​Girls Night Out​’, – heralded mixtape shows, which she brought to the UK and Europe and a global support tour with Taylor Swift, Charli xcx returned with a throwback UK Top 15 smash, “1999” feat. Troye Sivan. The accompanying video, which sits at over 35m views, was co-produced by Charli and paid homage to standout cultural references from the year of 1999.

  2019 saw Charli’s biggest 12 months to date; her third album proper, ​Charli, marked a huge advancement in her sound as well as some of her most personal lyrical content yet, featuring collaborations with global superstars such as Lizzo, Troye Sivan and HAIM alongside future game changers such as Kim Petras, Christine and the Queens, Yaeji and Clairo. The album’s coinciding sold-out tour proved to be her most expansive yet - including a 27-date North American run and her biggest headline show so far at London’s Brixton Academy.

  Now in 2020, Charli is already breaking boundaries - this year has seen her first BRIT nomination for British Female Solo Artist, marking a huge moment of validation from a mainstream audience that Charli has built on her own terms.

  ​In reaction to the global COVID-19 pandemic of 2020, Charli has proven herself to be one of

  the most adaptable artists working today; initially providing programs of Instagram live sessions that invited

  various guests to spark conversation, share insight, or simply entertain fans across the world who are currently

  practicing social distancing. Charli’s vision then expanded further, leading her to announce ‘how i’m feeling

  now’ - a new album to be written, recorded and released in 39 days, completely in self-isolation. The creative

  process was also to push her collaborative stream in a unique way; opening up the recording, writing, artwork,

  music videos and more to fans for feedback and contribution - she also further inspired her fans’ creativity,

  allowing them access to song stems to create remixes and greenscreen footage to be edited using their own

  imagination. The resulting project, released on deadline on May 15th 2020, is already being held in huge

  critical acclaim as an emotionally raw, relentlessly progressive sonic world, built from inside the comfort of

  Charli’s own home. ‘how i’m feeling now’ has given further spotlight to Charli’s status as one of the most

  adaptable, exciting pop artists working today, and through it’s uniquely collaborative approach, provided a

  shared space for those who listen to feel safe enough to express themselves however they wish at a time

  when they need it most.

  Charli has accrued two Billboard Music Awards, a YouTube Music Award, two Sesac ‘Songwriter of the Year’ Awards, plus nominations at the Grammys, BRIT Awards and MTV EMAs. Not to mention the studio time she’s commanded with the likes of Blondie, Selena Gomez [Charli co-wrote her U.S. No.1​“Same Old Love”​], Gwen Stefani, Camila Cabello & Shawn Mendes, Benny Blanco, David Guetta, Zara Larsson, Khalid and Diplo.

  Alongside her music projects, Charli has been a strong fixture within fashion. Charli attended the Met Gala 2019 as a special guest of Anna Wintour and Vogue, followed by a performance at Cannes Film Festival for the amfAR Gala. An ally for the LGBTQI+ community, Charli collaborates with some of the world’s most exciting LGBTQI+ artists, using her platform to help amplify the voices, and in turn the experiences, of these artists - a trait that led in part to Charli being named as Gay Times’ Ally Of The Year for 2019.

  An iconic figure for postmodern pop and creativity without limits, Charli xcx is one of the world’s most unique talents. Helping to expand the landscape of popular music over the last decade by seamlessly traversing the underground and the mainstream, Charli’s tireless approach has opened up new possibilities within the pop sphere for both her and others to build on in the future, and with a host of new music on the horizon, the future is coming sooner than anyone could imagine.

  “Led by brothers Finn (vocals, guitar) and Conor Keogh (bass) and completed by drummer Oli Spackman and guitarist Jimmy Lanwern. Keo’s origins trace back to Plymouth, Portugal, Ireland and the US with the Keogh brothers spending their youth touring much of the UK, Ireland and the US in their father’s traditional Irish folk project. Bridging the gap between 90’s grunge, shoegaze and alternative rock, the band note the influence of Jeff Buckley, Radiohead and The Smashing Pumpkins on their work, with further contemporary inspiration coming from acts including Wunderhorse and Fontaines D.C.”

  Cardinals

  Cardinals start as a joke between two sixteen-year-olds in a sleepy fishing town on the southern coast of Ireland. A whole joke-taken-to-heart later and their difference is marked by an early immersion in Cork’s live music scene, ‘we wanted to juxtapose ourselves,’ says frontman Euan Manning, ‘we have pop-leaning influences and didn’t want to shy away from that.’ Now barely twenty, the six-piece are next in an Irish line changing the sound of alternative music.

  Blending Ireland’s musical beating heart with a swell of contemporary frisson, the six-piece are tied to making music they enjoy whilst being perpetually kept outside of their comfort zone. The result is an eclectic gothic amalgam of shoegaze, Irish trad folk, and rock which incorporates 60s Wall of Sound elements for a punk-inflected noise that ‘wants to be warm pop.’ Underpinning this trademark friction is a soft narrative arc which chases a stark vulnerability, ‘I’ve heard music and seen films and somehow felt less alone,’ says Euan, ‘if we can do that for someone else, then that’s cool in my books.’

  Speed

  Since their inception in 2019, hardcore five-piece SPEED has evolved from a DIY Australian band to a global powerhouse. Their 2024 debut album ONLY ONE MODE catapulted the group into the spotlight; but in the midst of SPEED’s unprecedented success, tragedies struck. SPEED’s latest project, ALL MY ANGELS, is a three-track EP that reflects on the passing of three close friends in recent years. Those events brought intense heartbreak to their community, but over time, they’ve magnified what SPEED have always held as their central ethos: To love unconditionally, without fear or regret. In the years prior to ALL MY ANGELS, the band wrestled with their collective grief and life on the road. On ALL MY ANGELS, that same collective grief has brought the five friends closer together; emboldening them to live life with greater clarity. Lyrics on the EP address the sobering realities of loss, more vulnerable and raw than ever before. Musically, ALL MY ANGELS further explores what SPEED can contribute to modern hardcore; hitting deeper pockets of groove, experimenting with synths and samples, and delivering cathartic hooks that make it their most soul-baring effort. More than ever, SPEED is a band that’s being guided by their lived experiences, from eye-opening triumphs to the most harrowing losses. In any case, they’ll continue to move forward with love and conviction.
