We’ve been playing live since May 28th 2021 - we formed in university during lockdown so it was a bit of a slow burn at first, but as soon as we hit the stage we realised there was an energy between us and the audience that we were not used to experiencing, certainly not in little pub gigs. Fast forward a year and we have opened Islington Assembly Hall in front of hundreds of strangers - it was insane! And the crowd’s response was incredible. Fast forward another year and we’re now finishing up a long residency at The Camden Club in London where we’ve played numerous sold out shows. During this time we’ve also toured the UK and Portugal playing in front of crowds of up to 3,000 and we are ready to smash out the festival scene this summer and make the crowds go wild. Hello Amnesia isn’t the most well known band on the circuit, but we’re a great crowd pleaser (even to people who don’t like rock music) and we’re just keen to get out there and share our fun with more people!

Clara Thadea is about the most independent an independent artist can get. She writes, plays, produces, mixes and masters everything by herself, and sometimes with the help of close friends. Once that is done, any visuals will also be DIY. Her live band is made up of Thomas Dunk on drums, Sara Madaluni on keys, and Sam Clarke on bass, and they add some live excitement to her production that are in the genre of indie/alternative/very very chill pop. The unique thing to listen for in her act is her way of singing in a jazzy and almost middle eastern way. The main goal of the music (besides being good) is to make listeners feel for which there is no word yet, some mix between nostalgia and confusion. During the live act, it is a lot more cheerful than her lyrics plan for it to be, and these are always filled with metaphors and imagery which have a deeper and more poetic meaning than most other ‘pop’.

DJ K Soul – hailing from London/Essex with African roots and Caribbean fire flowing through her veins – Ms Soul behind the decks Blends soulful, sensual, and spiritual house music with the smooth grooves of private school piano and rich, soulful amapiano tunes.

Every set is a journey – rooted in emotion, elevated in rhythm. Her mission is simple but deep: to move you. Whether it’s a subtle sway or a full-body two-step, her sound speaks to your spirit, holds your heart, and keeps your feet dancing. It’s all about the song Selection, as she says. She is not a DJ, she’s a Soulector…

More than just a DJ, K Soul is energy, as before DJ’ing and still she is a singer first. She’s that breath between the beat. She doesn’t just play tracks—she channels soul.
