Dan Loops is a Sheffield-born, Leeds/Bradford-based writer, acoustic rap artist, poet, producer, multi-instrumentalist and videographer. Known for blending witty lyricism with intricate guitar work, beatboxing and live vocal loops, Dan has carved out a distinctive place in the UK’s alt-hip-
hop scene.

His debut album, An Album, launched to a sold-out crowd in 2016 and is now available on Spotify, Apple Music, and all major platforms. Before that, Dan had already made waves supporting Kae Tempest at the Lyric Festival in Sheffield (2012) and performing at the O2 Arena in 2011. Between 2011 and 2014, he gigged relentlessly, honing his live craft on stages big and small across the country.

A festival regular, Dan has played events including Y Not Festival and Tramlines. During lockdown, he wrote, recorded, and independently released his follow-up project, Self Titled (2022). With fresh
material and a renewed drive, Dan Loops is back on the road, gigging up and down the UK.

Kenzo Jae is an alternative rap artist, singer, songwriter, and poet from Bradford, England. Blending old-school hip hop with alternative indie and punk, he delivers music that is both honest and raw—self-deprecating yet egotistical—balancing vulnerability with swagger. He describes his work as “Tales of the Arrogant Samaritan,” drawing inspiration not only from lived experience but also from conceptual films he creates, which he transforms into immersive visual and audio mixtapes.
