Join us at The Greyhound, Peckham on the 23rd July for our second edition of Raven Sessions!

This is the start of what we intend to be a community for grassroots artists and a promotion agency founded by queer, disabled and trans artists! Our aim is to set a standard for fairer pay to performers and crew in the grassroots industry whilst maintaining a fun, inclusive, accessibility first approach to all our events.

✨LIVE MUSIC✨

We've got a stellar lineup planned, so make sure you have your dancing shoes on and your heart held tight... cause its gonna be one hell of an emotional rollercoaster!

Joining us for Pt 2 of the Raven Sessions we have:

YIANNIZS

Yiannizs blends pop, electronic and R&B influences into a sound that's both soulful and ethereal. His smooth, emotive vocals and immersive melodies create a unique sonic atmosphere that feels deeply personal yet universal. 

Currently working on his debut EP, Yiannizs has already showcased his versatility with the latest singles 'You', 'The Key' and ‘Basement’. This marks his first solo chapter after fronting the band 'Broken Tides', revealing a more experimental side of his artistry.

NATSUMA

Taking the scene by storm - Natsuma has been religiously gigging with her own music since she was 17 (obviously legally ;) ), jamming and playing gigs and open mics within the London grassroots circuit. She has graced the stages of BST Hyde Park, Boardmasters and the dance tent at Reading and Leeds Festival as a session guitarist for Humble the Great, Caity Baser, Jadu Heart, Lexi Carrol and Gretel - who she supported on her UK, US and EU tour playing venues like Village Underground.

Taking inspiration from the rock greats; Jimi Hendrix, Nirvana, RHCP and Prince in tandem with her deep love of underground artists like Jai Paul. Her self-produced sound is new, inexplicably addictive and incredibly free and vibrant.

DONQUIX HOTEL

London-based Indie/Disco/Funk four-piece crafting their signature Sound "Desert Disco" - a blend of tremolo-soaked guitars, infectious grooves, and sun-drenched melodies.
