2010  is undoubtedly the year of Ellie Goulding. She kicked off the new decade with a bang by topping the BBC Sound of 2010, winning the Critics Choice BRIT Award, and bagging herself a UK number one with debut album 'Lights'. Not bad for a girl that first attracted attention by posting home made demo's on her myspace page.

The Welsh lass sits somewhere between a singer-songwriter and synth-pop starlet. Like a kooky British version of Lykke Li or a more danceable Cerys Matthews.

Seemingly frail at first glance, Leah Mason is without a doubt one of UK’s most talented guitarists and powerhouse vocalists. Already a darling of the London music scene, the comparisons to the old school great Janis Joplin all make sense once you hear this exceptionally talented musician’s soul-imbued voice. Many will attribute a retro vibe to the singer – her artistry is best described, however, as timeless.
