KAELI
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/kaeli/New to the music scene, but not unfamiliar with the stage, KAELI is a singer-songwriter from London. Beginning her career by treading the boards in theatre, and eventually touring arenas worldwide as a featured vocalist for film star Hugh Jackman, it hasn’t been a conventional route into the music industry. But 2022 sees KAELI finally find her own voice. Combining soaring vocals, and honest lyrics with an effervescent pop sound, KAELI hopes to bring her lively energy and openness to every track. KAELI is signed by Abubilla Music, and recently released her debut EP, Kaleidoscope.
Toufique Ali
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/toufique-ali/British Bengali Singer Songwriter, Toufique Ali is playing his second gig in London since 2018 and is looking forward to getting back on track with his music going into 2022
Currently based in West London (via Bristol) his mixture of melodic, americana sounding guitar music crosses with a 90s grunge influence that emulates other bands from that era including the Lemonheads and Dinosaur Jr.
This time he’s in full tow of a live band with a full compliment of guitars/ bass and drums; so expect a sound that’s going to be LOUD!
Anthony Lexa
https://hotvox.co.uk/artist/ant/Anthony Lexa, a baby to the new wave of pop. Her aim is to empower her audiences with words of encouragement for those that are named “different” in this world. However, her EDM, funky sound will definitely get you up for a dance! All of her music is written and/or self produced by Anthony Lexa herself.
