ABOUT EMIL JAMES

A talented MC and songwriter, Emil James skirts the intersection between rap, alternative rock, and Jazz. Hard to place, but easy to recognise, Emil James has been known from a young age for his performative ability, attacking the stage like a poet-soldier in battle.

With his new band of international crooks, the Emil James and the Crooks live experience is now underway and ready to rock your world. The newly formed band has already performed at acclaimed London venues such as Fox & Firkin, Notting Hill Arts Club and Hootananny, with their versatility adding fresh impetus to a number of Emil James classics as well as new material.

Last year Emil was featured in Wonderland Wunderlist, as well as Mixmag's top tracks of the year for his track 'Little Old Me'. With a number of exciting releases and collaborations on the way, 2025 is set to be a big year for the artist.

ABOUT OSQUELLO

Osquello is a musical experience and a true originator. He strives for constant development and experimentation, exploring different musical worlds for the sake of knowledge and growth. Fearlessly bending genres, he refuses to stay in one lane, often describing his music as a “movie soundtrack to your life.”

Since 2016, Osquello has made himself known as an independent innovator of the global music scene. Securing two successful tracks with the likes of Declan McKenna and Clairo, and selling out his first show in LA by 2018, he has independently headlined The Jazz Cafe, The Social, and Electrowerkz. In 2019, he was named one of NME’s Top 20 Artists of the Year and received BBC 1Xtra’s Top 20 EP of the Week.

Osqstock, his first independently self-produced, written, and mixed album, alongside his electronic EP Something Behind Me—featuring the likes of Bawo and produced by Goldie & James Davidson—have become instant classics in the UK scene. Romero, his highly anticipated third studio album, released in January 2023, broke musical boundaries, traveling across nostalgic disco, funk, alternative, and R&B soundscapes.
