Jem Wax is an independent artist and producer from London, with a bold and eclectic, yet commercial sound. Blending elements of soul and jazz with a unique tone, honest lyricism and alternative edge - shaped by artists like RAYE, Olivia Dean, Hiatus Kaiyote and Hard Life. Jem’s recent single SPIDERRR have gained support from BBC 1 Introducing’s Jess Iszatt and Maria Hanlon, positioning her as a distinctive voice in the UK’s emerging music scene. Live, Jem moves easily between unexpected and iconic spaces—from performances on a double-decker bus to shows at venues like Servant Jazz Quarters. After a sold-out debut headline in 2024, and a headline show at The Finsbury in July, Jem makes her debut at Pizza Express The Pheasantry, continuing her steady rise in 2025.

Starting her career right out of Brit school, Phoebe Rea quickly gained attention from The Other Songs’ Alastair and Billy Webber and in 2018 was selected by BBC Introducing to perform at Truck Festival. Following a break spurred by complicated management deals and a worldwide pandemic, Phoebe has broken free from industry expectations and is stepping into an innovative new form Phoebe Rea reps a fresh sound, blending pop ballads with nu-jazz and electronic elements, her new genre-bending sound is here to illuminate a timeless, sophisticated pop sound. Boasting soulful vocals as big as her hair, her new single ‘Easier’ exudes an effortless elegance, irresistible to vintage and new audiences alike. Cinematic, melancholic, and unapologetic, ‘Easier’ is an anthem to heartbreak and simultaneously the mending of hearts everywhere. Her highly anticipated debut album is set for release later in 2025.

Having entered the music world for her love of singing, singer-songwriter Sophya will transport you with her profound lyrics and enchanting melodies. Her music conveys a bittersweet and nostalgic feeling and explores topics of her life such as a sense of fate or her relationship to the women around her and she’s been musically influenced by artists such as YEBBA, Saje and Robert Glasper.
