Passport to Stockholm formed in 2013 around the talents of songwriters Chris 'Barny' Barnard and Tom Piggott, old friends who had previously been playing and recording as an acoustic duo. After completing their lineup with cellist Mariona De Lamo and percussionist Henri Grimes, they began developing a sound that blended indie folk and classical elements with bold, Coldplay-esque melodies. 

After successfully crowd-funding their first EP, things began moving quickly for the band as they received plenty of support in London and embarked on a couple of European tours. Their debut EP, All at Once, was released in August 2015, making waves on both sides of the Atlantic. Then sadly Tom and Mariona both had to take extended breaks from the band for personal reasons. During that time Barny and Henri continued to widen their musical horizons with Barny collaborating with Italian Trance DJ legend Mauro Picotto on a number of tracks, with their track ‘Ayala’ earning them a No.1 in Mexico. Henri went on to form the highly influential Breakcore band “Big Lad” which still plays to

In 2017 Barny and Henri reformed one again as PTS with new guitarist, Telmo Seixas for a 10 date UK tour as well as a run of European dates before finally calling time on the band indefinitely. That was until the Summer of 2019…after Barny had returned from a solo West coast tour of the US, the band reformed as a 5 piece for the first time and played out their final shows with a sold out residency at their home from home, The Troubadour in Earl’s Court, London

“Deceptive” plays on the heartstrings of any old school raver with his straight up intentions of creating dance floor friendly vibes. Hailing from the out-skirts of London he knows only too well about the culture that gripped the nation in the early 90’s. Becoming a regular clubber “Deceptive” took to the studio in the mid to late 00’s to express his passion for house music. It wasn’t long until he started to see success mounting up with a few releases under his belt with a previous alias. 

Now it’s the right time to get serious. “Deceptive” is determined to create an impact with quality house music in this fast paced, and dare I say diluted music scene.
