Brighton-based, New Jersey-raised artist Lonnie Gunn exists in a realm of her own, captivating her devoted following with an irresistible combination of raw, emotive lyrics and cinematic, soft rock dreamscapes. Since mid-2023, she’s dropped a series of stellar singles that channel the hazy vibes of Angel Olsen, Mitski and Weyes Blood, including the mirrorball-swirling standouts ‘Looney Tune’ and ‘Jessie’s Pitbull’. Growing an enviable word-of-mouth fanbase with her thrilling live performances, Lonnie Gunn previously packed out The Prince Albert for her debut headline show with Hidden Herd, and has shared stages with WOOZE, Viji, Trudy and the Romance and Welly.

Led by Megan Bush and their Brighton-based band, crysometimes blends alt-pop and pop-rock, drawing inspiration from Paramore, Phoebe Bridgers, Clairo, boygenius and Avril Lavigne. Consistently played by Mollie King on Radio 1’s Future Pop, as well as Abbie McCarthy, Gemma Bradley and Alyx Holcombe on BBC Music Introducing, crysometimes is an emerging artist on the rise. In late 2023, they even joined forces with CLT DRP, Phoebe Green and more to collaborate with ARXX on a charity single, which was named Radio 1’s Hottest Record in the World by Clara Amfo. More recently, crysometimes performed at the first-ever Homegrown Festival and played a sold-out Pride fundraiser alongside friends ARXX and Lonnie Gunn.

Championed by BBC Music, with repeat airplay from Jess Iszatt on BBC Music Introducing and Jack Saunders on Radio 1, Sabiyha was handpicked for a Maida Vale session by BBC Asian Network tastemaker Jasmine Takhar and also secured a coveted spot on the BBC Music Introducing stage at this year’s Glastonbury Festival. With further backing from NOTION and features on Spotify editorial playlists such as ‘New Music Friday UK’, Sabiyha’s inevitable ascent continues with latest single, ‘PWR BTM,’ featuring Grove.
