ARTIST COMMUNITY

I am a multidisciplinary artist based in London.
I work through a practice that lays an open space to experiment and be vulnerable with creating new and imperfect forms of artwork through the mediums of poetry, collage, critical discussion and soundscape.

Confessions wrapped in an indie-folk-pop style… Born and bred in London, Nicky Phillips felt the pull to move north; she shares her open-hearted songs on both guitar and piano through intimate performances across North West England.

Although Nicky had previously been active on the music scene, it was 2021 that pulled her back with her first ever release and self-titled debut EP with sold out shows in both Cheshire and London. The EP saw success in ‘Home’, which was a semi-finalist in the UK Songwriting Competition and was featured on Indie Folk Central’s first ‘Women of Indie Folk’ compilation. Another song from the EP, ‘The Dark’, was featured on BBC Music Introducing. Nicky has just finished her first tour in May 2024, including London, Cambridge, Edinburgh, Liverpool and Manchester.

Two years ago, Bertie quit his finance job to pursue his musical dreams. Now, with over 140,000 streams, BBC introducing Support and shows at Glastonbury, Ronnie Scotts and the Roundhouse under his belt, he is turning those dreams to reality.

With his knack for lyrics, distinctive voice and electric live performance Bertie has won a loyal early fan base and with 4 new releases slated for the first half of next year as well as a string of shows, Bertie is in for an exciting 2024.
