Nye Jones
After moving from Coast to City, Nye Jones has only ever had one way of dealing with his claustrophobia- music.
After learning to play guitar whilst living by the coast, Nye’s parents separated and he moved to East Surrey- a nice place but a certain lack of sea. Battling to come to terms with his new life, he found that sticking to his guitar kept him connected to the place he grew up, giving him a comfort that felt like home- consequently leading into a roaring passion of creating and performing music.
Since developing this new-found love of songwriting, the 19 year old musician hopes to create a new wave in the indie scene by combining raw and honest lyrics with his energy and enthusiasm for music- a passion he wishes to show the world.

Chris Lee
Originally just picked up a uke in the supermarket, was just a joke to drown out some noise from a neighbour. A good friend at my boxing club dared me to do an open mic and I just kept on strumming from there. I've found it's been a great tool for my memory, moods and dexterity in my hands. It's also helped me discover a creative side I didn't realise I had. Uke power!
