Interviewed: Jeremy Johnson
During his 20s, Jeremy Johnson pursued an international career as a geoscientist, working, living and travelling across four continents.
Jeremy's passion for music endured, but it wasn't until his late 20s that his development as a songwriter began to flourish.
Chronicling his varied and individual experiences, Jeremy completed his first album of work in the months leading up to his 30th birthday.
The response to 'The King & The Thief' laid the foundation for Jeremy's belief that his childhood dream of becoming a singer-songwriter could be realised.
Quitting the day job and deciding to live in a van, Jeremy went head-first into writing music, playing shows all over the world.
“A stunning performer with lush songs and beautiful lyrics” - Andrew Marston.

In session: Medusa
Electronica two piece Medusa, formed of lead vocalist Jade and producer Phil, only started working together 18 months ago but are already on their second EP 'Siren Songs'.
Switching from house to dreamy, downtempo electronica and a lot in between, they have a lot of different influences and sounds that make up their unique style.
They say: “Enchanting vocals, warm, rich analogue sounds are all combined to take us away in our minds to another time and place.”
