Fismoll is hailed as the most amazing young singer/songwriter who debuted in Poland in 2013. Despite his young age (20 years old), his prowess as a composer, arranger, singer and guitarist is exceptional.
Julia Marcell is a singer songwriter from Poland, currently living in Berlin. This year Julia is preparing the release of her third musical statement
Olivier Heim is a Dutch award-winning songwriter and performer, born in the USA, raised in Luxembourg and currently living in Warsaw, Poland.
Incorporating a cascade of chorusy guitars and slap delays, Olivier’s smooth vocals are combined with groovy bass lines and spacey synthesizers, resulting in modern songs that feel like a cool dive into the surfy, souly sound of the 70s.
Sonar Soul is a producer/dj based in Warsaw/Poland who's eclectic style might be described as soulful electronic/abstract hip-hop fusion. His passion to modernist architecture and randomness of a human nature leads him to explore naive melodies and sentimental moods by using as limited and unobvious resources as possible. |
