Currently hosting a residency at Native Tongue at the Barbican and having previously featured on Jazz FM's renowned Discovery Show, Marie Dahlstrom - who writes and produces all of her music - takes inspiration from Neo-Soul and fuses this with her Scandanavian roots for an outcome that is beautifully soulful and simply out of this world.

The London-based indie artist recently headlined Premier Radio's Premier Radio Presents with fellow One Mic alumni Lanre and has also enthralled audiences at the world renowned Bedford in Balham and OXJAM's Singing Faces amongst others. His debut EP Travellin' Light released at the start of the year is one of the stand-out releases of the year and you can catch him performing songs from that EP LIVE at our Christmas Special!
