Molly Rymer is a self-proclaimed “grandma in the body of a twenty-something”, characterised by a nostalgic folk-infused sound and her chatty on-stage nature.

In October 2024, she released her debut EP 'All You Can Eat', an eclectic collection of moods and styles to document recent reflections on life, love, and immortalise her official entry onto the Leeds music scene.

2024 also saw the singer-songwriter swap out her solo set-up for a fully-fledged six-piece band, featuring double bass, cello, drums, and 2-part backing vocals. What began as simply a “conversation in song” has now evolved into intimate storytelling drenched in cinematic harmonies, with a driving undercurrent of the singer’s classic-rock upbringing - think Fleetwood Mac meets Lizzy McAlpine.

With support from Help Musicians and Launchpad, Molly aims to deepen her collaborative relationships, growing an already rapidly expanding network, as she works towards the release of her sophomore project in early 2026.

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.

One of the "ones to watch" artists currently at Leeds Conservatoire, singer/songwriter/composer/musician Romy Taylor was British born but raised in the south of Spain. Taking inspiration from artists Daniel Caesar, Eloise and Lucy Rose, she combines atmospheric dreamlike flavours with eminently listenable and memorable melodies full of hooks. Her latest single "Nectarine" got picked up on Spotify for the Fresh Finds playlist and she sold out her debut single launch party at Oporto Leeds, as well as her following headliner at Hyde Park Book Club . She's already appeared at Gilles Peterson's We Out Here Festival in 2024, supported future soul crew Heritage at Belgrave Music Hall, performed an unplugged Brudenell Piano Session and packed out various Leeds venues. A unique pop artist with her own spin on jazz, soul, and heart-felt ballads.

Lavelle is an independent R&B singer-songwriter from Sheffield, making waves as one of the North’s most exciting rising stars. Blending smooth, soulful vocals with honest storytelling, she’s quickly building a legacy. Her first five singles, including Baby Boy and Higher Self, debuted at No.1 on the UK iTunes R&B/Soul charts, a first for a Northern artist.

Her dynamic songwriting has earned placements across Channel 4, Netflix, and the BBC, while her live performances have lit up stages at major UK festivals and events, including the MOBO Awards, where she was handpicked by Toddla T for the “Steel City Sheffield All Stars Riddim.”

In 2025, Lavelle became a MOBO Unsung finalist, performed alongside Ed Sheeran and JME, and was named a BBC Radio 1 “One to Watch.” With editorial support from Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music — where she was crowned a +44 “Up & Calling” artist — Lavelle is cementing her place as a fresh voice redefining UK R&B.
