A cracking line up for the first Nailed It! of the year. We have:
The Retrosettes:The Retrosettes inject contemporary music with a retro flavour and revive the past within a modern soundscape.
Their music combines modernity and vintage in a cool, elegant mix of sounds from pop, soul, jazz and ska. Their music seamlessly echoes The Beatles era which blends into the present.
Mica Millar :A passionate and honest songwriter with a distinctly soulful voice, Mica Millar previously won the prestigious “BBC 1Xtra Single of the Week”, supported DJ EZ & Mr Jam and received national airplay on BBC Radio 1, BBC 1Xtra, Gaydio and Key 103 with her former band Red Sky Noise.
Her recent collaboration with Kardanski (Former member of Kid British alongside Bipolar Sunshine) saw the duo’s song “Trouble” released on MUK Records, reaching No.1 in the Music Week Breakers Chart, No.6 In the Upfront Club Chart and No.36 in the Itunes Soul & RnB Chart.
A feature on “North Base – Give You Up” was released earlier this year as part of “Viper Presents Drum & Bass 2016” which reached No.6 in the ITunes Dance Album Charts and No.12 in the UK Official Dance Charts.
Mica Millar is soon to release her highly anticipated debut solo album, which sees her go back to her roots in Neo Soul, Jazz and Trip Hop with a combination of live and programmed instrumentation, layered with Gospel harmonies and heavy bass lines.
Hannah Ashcroft:Hannah Ashcroft is an indie, alt folk musician from North West England, currently based in Manchester.
After two years of touring Australia, she returns to the UK with her debut EP.
Recorded in Melbourne, The Quiet Kind blends intricate guitar parts and distinctive melodies to explore themes of mythology, humanity and superstition.
