Luke Rainsford is a phenomenal musician stemming from the UK.  The music Luke puts out curates a deep emotional connection with the listener through his lyricism and his composition.  As an artist, he helps to create a safe space for the listener, a comforting tone to show that we aren’t as alone as we think we are in the world.  Luke’s latest release, “Tip Toe”, pulls on the comfort that we know and expands on his musicianship by adding new layers that might not be apparent on first listen.  It was a pleasure speaking with him and we hope you enjoy it as well!

When you think of boybands you might think of music with catchy choruses and stories about love.  We spoke to RoadTrip, a British boyband who is changing the game and making their own mark on the industry through a fresh vibe and a strong social media presence. * As RoadTrip grows, those who may be finding out about them now can catch up on their journey by watching all of their previous YouTube videos on RoadTrip Vlogs and past covers on RoadTripTV.  This personal connection with the different members of the band is also expressed in the upcoming documentary detailing the events leading up to their show at Shepherd’s Bush.  Recently RoadTrip dropped their EP ‘White Label’ that helped to solidify the band’s status and showed listeners that there’s more to what we might think a boyband is.  The band is comprised of Andy Fowler, Rye Beaumont, Brooklyn Wyatt, Sonny Robertson, and Harper Dark and managed by Blair Dreelan (formerly of East 17).  We were fortunate enough to chat with Andy and learn more about him and the band so stay tuned!
