Larisa – ‘Travellers’
About Larisa
Larisa is an up and coming, Romanian raised, now London based artist who aspires to create her own original alt-pop sound. With a mix of influences such as Madonna and FKA Twigs, she is willing to explore her ever-evolving personality by finding unique lyrical and melodic angles to accompany her listeners through the though times but also give them a boost of confidence.
At the age of 17 she entered “The Voice” in her home country, getting through to the semi finals and dedicating her life to music ever since, writing hundreds of songs and improving her craft. In order to develop her performance skills, she completed an acting degree and moved to the UK soon after graduating to freely explore her artistic personality and finally share her music with the world.
Her London journey started with the release of her debut single “For Tonight”, a chilled-pop song sprinkled with sexy, mysterious vibes. Her latest release, “Goodbye”, came as an opener to Larisa’s first EP, “Temporary”, a collection of songs revolving around the idea that happiness, pain and generally everything in life is temporary, just as the artist’s musical identity, as she says that she is constantly evolving and therefore changing.

iamnotshane – ‘Punch Me in the Face’
About iamnotshane
A born performer, iamnotshane began singing and songwriting at just 8 years old and soon discovered his unmatched love for storytelling. After gaining a following on tumblr posting bedroom recordings, his 2016 debut Sad EP inspired a series of VHS videos he produced – an early hint at his video-making prowess. The EP spawned his first breakout moment in the form of the official video for debut single “Insecure,” which he cast, co-directed, choreographed, and edited in its entirety. The video went viral and sparked a rabid cult following of fans who appreciate the clever lyricism, visual eye-candy (see: thoroughly unique dance moves), and glaze of irony that make iamnotshane the phenom he is.
Since his 2016 debut, iamnotshane has gone on to release a 2020 self-titled EP, followed by this year’s debut album, One Less Year Alive, a quarantine project he released independently spring 2021. Across all of his releases, a common thread emerges, of which he notes: “Each song is me trying to figure out life by contemplating death and the hope for something greater. I’m very open about depression and sadness, but like to contrast the dark lyrics with danceable sugary pop production and humor that brings the hope.”
Adding to the creative breadth of iamnotshane’s work, he also wrote and published a comic book inspired by the “Insecure” video alongside an accomplished artist in the anime community who is also a fan. He also recently finished a fantasy novel that he is currently editing. Describing his twisted artistic vision, iamnotshane reveals: “I aspire to make the world a happier place by being a combo of Walt Disney, C.S. Lewis and Alfred Hitchcock if he was a pop star.”
