Soundcloud for current students and alumni of the Music degree courses at University of Westminster. Showcases all of the different work that our students and graduates do.

Music is a great way to say what's on your mind without making it too hard to listen to. It's a whole other language which helps portrait what you're feeling, or that's what I feel anyway. I've been busking and songwriting for years, and hope to reach people who like my music :) I'd love to hear some new music too, so send it over!!!! :D

"Unique, insane and like nothing you’ll have ever seen before… we cannot recommend highly enough. This eponymous multi-instrumentalist from Dublin packs a punch in his music like no other.. " – Kat Jackman, Huffington Post

Born in Dublin and now based in London, Fjokra and his eponymous band have gained a reputation for exhibiting a uniquely bizarre and energetic live show that ‘combines near-minimalistic, lo-fi electro-pop with retro swing, metal and occasional epic Muse-like explosions’ (Time Out). Gracing the stages at Isle Of Wight Festival, Beach Break Festival, Shambala, Boomtown and Liverpool Sound City, Fjokra was also hand picked by Adam Ant as support for his London show in November 2014.

“I want to recommend something new to iTunes this week, a very exciting new band..Fjokra” – John Taylor, Duran Duran.

“Im going to have to go and lie down in a darkened room after playing that”. – Gary Crowley, BBC Radio London on playing Infinite Loops

“Sex music for metallers” – Peanut Baines, Kaiser Chiefs

“The ever impossible to pigeon-hole Fjokra with the musical masterpiece that is Slyrex.” – Peter Donaldson, Absolute Radio
