TALES OF MAKING WAVES

From a young age, Miki self-thought himself to play various instruments and over the years finally found his biggest passion - the bass.

Throughout his career, collaborated with musicians, bands and shows from all over the world such as: Burn the Floor (touring Japan, Australia and performing at the London West End in 2016), Doctor Prats (touring Catalunya since 2015), Rock of Ages the Musical (New York), Phredley Brown (musical director, keyboardist and guitarist for Bruno Mars with whom Miki recorded an album together in 2015), I Want U Back (Michael Jackson Tribute from Barcelona), among many others.

Håkon got introduced to the saxophone at the age of 9, and chose his life to evolve around music. His passion and curiosity turned into a lifestyle and profession. While studying at the conservatory he also established himself as an international talent on the instrument. At a young age he started to tour around the world and collaborate with the best musicians. He has been playing with names as Dominique Dipiazza, Jeff Lorber, Jimmy Haslip, Lionel Cordew, Gary Novak, among others. Alongside with music, Håkon also started a professional career as an extreme endurance athlete, and combination made him rather unique. He now travels to every continent in the world and plays concerts at the top of the highest mountains. This has led to Håkon holding 2 world records, for the highest concert on earth and the coldest concert on earth.

Spaven's sublime intuitive drumming and his personable nature quickly established him as a favourite amongst Jazz enthusiasts. By connecting the dots as he seamlessly traverses between genres, he weaves a thread of jazz throughout each one. He is as comfortable manning the kit behind classically trained piano virtuoso Robert Mitchell, as he was when touring the world with hall of fame hip-hop emcee (the late) GURU. The essence of jazz is clearly heard throughout Spaven’s 5ive and by challenging traditional forms and using the many influences gathered on his musical journey so far, it’s an intriguing idea of what a jazz album can be.

As a producer, his signature ‘Sounds of the Sir’ beat tag has developed into one of Grime’s quintessential seals of approval and yet his sound remains markedly varied. Sir Spyro remains one of Grime’s most trusted hit-makers. Indeed, while he continues to work with both heavyweights and newcomers, he is also an esteemed remixer for artists such as Jorja Smith to Ed Sheeran, with his remix of the latter’s track ‘Take Me Back to London’ helping to land the song at No.1. From serial hit-maker, to resolute taste-maker, Sir Spyro continues to be the most trusted voice in Grime.

Fast-emerging British singer, songwriter and pianist Reuben James’ virtuoso jazz techniques and soulful, evocative voice have led him to be widely regarded as one of the most exciting and creatively assured artists to have emerged in recent years. Although perhaps best known for his ongoing collaborations with Sam Smith, which have included co-writing songs for Smith’s 4 million-selling album The Thrill of It All, James has written for and performed with an array of international star acts including the likes of Joni Mitchell, Bonnie Raitt, Brandi Carlile, Herbie Hancock, John Legend, Tori Kelly, Little Mix, Disclosure and Liam Payne amongst many others. Reuben’s Sophmore EP ‘Slow Down’ landed to critical acclaim in 2020, with lead singles ‘My Line’ and ‘So Cool’ achieving radio plays across BBC Radio 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Introducing and Jazz FM. Reuben released his single ‘BBQ Energy’ in late 2020 followed by the star-studded ‘Tunnel Vision’ featuring Frida Touray, Daley with Tom Misch in early 2021 and his most recent offering, ‘U Got Me’ with Jaz Karis was released in September 2021.
