Cat is a London based creative; she loves Jesus, bright colours, music and food.

She draws inspiration for her paintings from Japanese woodblock prints, vintage and art-deco advertising posters and surrealist artists of the 1900s.

Born and raised in West London to a British father and Malaysian-Chinese mother, she loves exploring the fusion of the two very different cultures, especially through cooking and hosting guests in her home. She now makes YouTube videos sharing her life of faith and good food with friends and family - fun!

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.

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.

Kit likes music. His propensity for the mix was forged in the drum and bass ridden streets of south Manchester, so he sought to play a different sound; a sound that might (potentially) have been described as ‘eclectic’, ‘juicy’ and ‘funkadelic to the point of ridiculousness’. He has stated his sole aim is to bring a selection of beats that leave craters on dance floors, and sweaty pools on the ceiling. A veteran of Indigo, Shoreditch BOXPARK (the upstairs zone) and his friend Steve’s basement, Kit is not one to miss.

When it comes to artistry and creative thinking, Isaiah Shoticaury stands out. Often described as a "low-key introvert," he conveys his emotions and feelings through his music. After releasing his album "YOU NEED 2 SLOW DOWN," Isaiah has embarked on a journey of self-discovery through his art, emphasising that we don't need to rush as creatives.

Isaiah has expanded his artistic repertoire by diving into DJing, where he crafts genre-fusing mashups of Afrohouse that truly reflect his unique persona as “thelowkeyintrovert.” If you’re interested in experiencing his eclectic sound, tune in to Voices Radio every Wednesday once a month for his show “lowkeyibedjing.” It’s a fantastic opportunity to immerse yourself in his creative world!
