Brit and Mobo award winning Ella Eyre - discovered at 16, mentored and developed by AuthorityMGMT, together with Tileyard Music.

In April 2013, Ella's collaboration with Rudimental, 'Waiting All Night' hit #1 in the UK singles chart. She followed this by writing the #1 'Changing' for Sigma, the top 5 'Gravity' with DJ Fresh, and Platinum selling, 'Came Here For Love' with Sigala.

Ella won the 2014 Brit Award for Best Single, was runner up in the BBC Sound poll and bagged both Best Newcomer and Best Female at the Mobos.

Erica Manzoli - Aged 22 and hailing from Peckham, South East London, Erica spent lockdown immersing herself in her thoughts and crafting them into music.

Her debut single ‘My Best Friend Is My Therapist’ narrates her feelings of disconnect during the pandemic, when conversations with her therapist were her only regular communication.

Further songs diarising her self-reflections, discussing prevalent themes of love and loss alongside visceral themes of depersonalisation and derealisation are set for release throughout 2024 as she cements herself as One To Watch.

Erica is co-managed with Pieces of 8 Music.
