Meet the artists
Finn Forster
Teessider Finn Forster creates songs that come from places of real truth, deliver anthemic melodies and shine light on the trials and tribulations of his youth. And boy, he’s got some pipes on him!
Fresh from sold out UK tours in 2022 and 2023, a top 5 single in the UK iTunes pop chart and winning the prestigious Drake YolanDa award, Finn is now backed by BBC Introducing after he was picked as ‘One To Watch’ for 2023. He also headlined ‘Songs From Northern Britain’ Festival and supported the likes of Bastille, The Reytons and The Lottery Winners.
Finn also took part in our Summer Studios residency in 2023 so we’re chuffed to have him back.
Sarah Johnsone
Debuting as a solo artist, rising North East artist Sarah Johnsone gained serious plaudits for wistful single ‘Tonight’, from Spotify’s prestigious New Music Friday to being featured on Frank Berry’s critically acclaimed ‘Aisha’.
Johnsone continues her upward trajectory joining forces with a full band, and entering anthemic, alt. rock territory, with her vocals still loaded with provocation.
