Rhodes

Rhodes: "I think the most important thing about being an artist is to surround yourself with people that you trust."

Tones & I

Tones and I: "I don’t think I was prepared for that at all. I was bare feet on the street, being compared visually to and up against all these huge established pop stars. Once I was lined up against Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, and Billie Eilish for the most-streamed females right now – which went on for over a year and I couldn’t believe it."

Flynn

Flynn: "It's funny, because I feel like I was a lot more comfortable back then with those sorts of things. If someone asked me to go on the high street now and sing I think i'd freak out a bit."

Sea Girls

Sea Girls: "I made the right decision going to work in music, I don’t know if I’d be happy if I didn’t"

Cassyette

Cassyette: "I’ve always been myself and I’ve always liked the same things as I like now. But I feel like when I was a kid, I really was always just trying to fit in."

Santino Le Saint

Santino Le Saint: "I think I’ve been lucky to never actually feel like I’ve wanted to quit."

Flume

Flume: “Having this time off has made me prioritise my mental health over business, whereas previously I’ve kind of always prioritised everything else above it.”

The Wombats Issue 7

The Wombats: "I’ve never wanted to put the word depressed on something, but I feel like I’ve had a breakthrough that it’s okay to admit that and to talk about it."

Miles Kane

Miles Kane: "I always have a goal to aim for. I think for most people whatever you get out, you always want more, but I’m trying to get to a place now where I’m content with what is around me."

Ella Henderson

Ella Henderson: "I did all these insane things but that’s not relatable, that’s not what I wanted the album to be"

Scouting For Girls

Scouting For Girls: “We’ve always loved these songs back since we were kids and they had a very relaxed and nostalgic feel to them. That’s why we went with them really and it was nice to kind of be transported back to that time.”

Ashnikko

Ashnikko: "I’ve built a character for myself to tap into, I guess was selfishly for my own needs and confidence boost"
