Northern-Irish Ghanaian music artist Winnie Ama has been hailed as a standout talent for three consecutive years. In 2024, both The Belfast Telegraph and The Irish Times recognised her as the 'One to Watch'. Her ascent began in 2022 when BBC Introducing ATL first labeled her as such after a series of captivating performances. The following year, she earned the prestigious RTE2FM 'Rising Artist' status and received one of three 'Rising Star' gold disks from Ditto.

Winnie's impactful journey continued in 2023 with a TEDxStormont talk by the multi-award-winning Belfast artist, showcasing her talents on international stages in the UK, Ireland, and the USA. Her performances caught the attention of icons like Macy Gray and Sister Sledge, who invited her to open their shows in Cork and Belfast. Notable stage appearances include headlining the BBC Introducing Stage at Latitude in 2022 and gracing the Glastonbury stage in 2023.

Her music is a fusion of conscious lyrics, soulful vocals, blending seamlessly with pop and dance rhythms.

Hi, I’m Natalia and I’ve been doing henna for over 10 years. I was born in the United States and moved to the UK when I was 15. Coming from a mixed Pakistani and German background, I’ve always been drawn to my South Asian roots which inspired me to start practicing henna as a teenager.

Since then, I’ve had the joy of creating designs for weddings, special events, and even as body art. Henna is both a way of celebrating tradition and a form of self-expression. I love making each design unique whilst also exploring different styles, and also helping people feel inspired and beautiful through the art of henna.

Based in Paris, Lullaby hopes to eventually produce her own sounds.

Named after the Japanese word for wolf, Ōkami is the side project of artist Kamī; a space where she channels her fundamental belief that sound is a sacred vessel through which communities of colour can connect in solidarity and find true liberation.

Having begun her journey as a DJ through Voices Radio, her mixes have been featured on the likes of NTS and Radio 1001. She has found her footing playing at London’s Pxssy Palace, Body Movements and with the fast-rising Half East Records collective.

While Ōkami has a deep affinity for the atmospheric and sub-heavy frequencies of 140, dnb, dubstep, grime and drill, you can often find her playfully switching gear into rich global club sounds such as dancehall, bhangra, gqom, Asian dance sub-genres, baile and ballroom with plenty of attitude.
