Jade Danielle Williams (aka Jade Like The Stone) was born into a Welsh/Italian family and raised in the one time Welsh Capital, Merthyr Tydfil, in South Wales. A town named, according to legend, in tribute to Tydfil, the daughter of King Brychan of Brycheiniog; a woman slain by pagans in the 5th Century.

Despite the industrial nature of her working class family, rooted as it was in the coal mining and steel industries of the region, there were artistic influences at hand too. Jade’s Great Grandfather was the noted tenor, William Burke, a world-touring singer and recording artist of the 1920’s, and her pianist grandmother won a scholarship Royal College of Music, (even if she was subsequently dissuaded by the family from taking it up). Jade grew up with that Grandmother and subsequently began learning piano from the age of 5. Such was her skill with the instrument that early aspirations minded towards a career as a classical pianist, until, post puberty, Jade’s voice came to the fore. A remarkable instrument that could tackle Welsh folk, Italian Arias, German Leider, modern pop and more with equal aplomb; a voice which led to her being a finalist in the national Eisteddfod, forerunning, at the age of 15, a full scholarship to the prestigious Wells Cathedral School. A notable career in Opera seemed to beckon until the tragic death of her drowned brother, led to a re-evaluation of her life plans and aspirations, spawning a renewed need to follow her own wants and wills, rather than ceed to the expectations of others.

Moving to London, Jade slowly reunited with music, this time forming the post modern rock band ‘Du Bellows’, a band described by Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page as “by far one of the most interesting and musically adept bands I have seen recently. There is a cosmic counterpoint alive and well here”. As well undertaking sessions for other producers and artists, in 2018 Jade even – albeit semi-seriously – accepted an invitation to appear on TV’s ‘The Voice’ where she gained a place, appropriately enough, on the team of legendary Welsh singer Tom Jones.

But really all this has been a forerunner to Jade’s desire to make music on her own terms as a solo artist, which she is set to do in 2019.

Not only a noted musician and remarkable vocalist, Jade is a poet and lyricist drawing on not just her own very rich personal life experiences but also the Jurassic landscape and scenery of her home town, Welsh folklore, Celtic mysticism, and the strong matriarchal influences of her childhood, underpinned as they are by a strong public school education and general aptitude for literature and language.

Musically the expressionist colours of composers such as Debussy, along with the harmonies and tonal qualities of the Renaissance, have all helped shape Jade’s own ear and songwriting. This plus her musical training in everything from Opera to Folk with, of course, the added influence of many genres of modern music from classic acts like the Doors, Beatles and Neil Young to more contemporary influences such as Jill Scott, Massive Attack and Modest Mouse, to name but a few. A large melting pot indeed which informs and influences her music to unparalleled effect.

All of which points to a unique proposition with a rich tapestry of possibilities. Certainly a voice like no other; a signature voice and a signature style of songwriting, And somehow a very Welsh voice, in every sense of the word, musical and otherwise..

Having rubbed shoulders with Way Out West, Boy George, Kosheen, Portishead and  personally produced the likes of Daniel Beddingfield, Natasha Beddingfield, Sapphira plus singer/songwriters and bands across all genres, Tonestepa has a long legacy spanning 30 years in the music industry.

From touring worldwide and playing with his own band, Psalmistry, he has scope with live performances, album production and sound engineering that gives him insight as a diverse music producer. 

A DJ/Session Musician and multi-instrumentalist he has performed professionally for many years as an internationally touring bassist, guitarist, pianist and drummer.

He has his own kit and is proficient in using Logic X and Native Instruments plug-ins as well as residing in London with access to private studio space.

His credit includes work on major music videos, YouTube campaigns and album production from concept to completion including mastering. He is capable of working with clients and artists either as sole music producer or in a larger production crew. He has recorded acoustic bands, vocalists of all types and descriptions and can capture sound for commercials and interviews. He is a specialist in creating backing tracks for professional singers, burlesque artists and performers and has also produced sound meditations and sound healing artists.

Il Circolo Arcipelago è un circolo ARCI (Associazione Ricreativo Culturale Italiana)
in una piccola e nebbiosa cittadina del nord, Cremona.
L'obiettivo principale di Arcipelago è quello di creare opportunità di partecipare attivamente alle attività culturali della propria città, di creare i propri spazi per esprimersi e di rendere la cultura accessibile a tutti. Tra presentazioni e letture di libri, mostre di fotografia e arte, contest di danza hip-hop e freestyle, stage di kung fu e chi più ne ha più ne metta, il nostro obiettivo si svolge principalmente con attività musicali. Per questo abbiamo deciso di registrare qualsiasi live che ospitiamo sul nostro palco, dalla band più giovane ed inesperta a quella un pò più "navigata". Questo, secondo noi, permette a tutti di avere un'opportunità in più di promozione virale via internet, tutti possono ascoltare i live e tutti ne possono usufruire. Indipendentemente dalla qualità. 

Circolo Arcipelago (ARCI= Recreative and cultural italian association)born in a foggy town in Italy, Cremona.
The main goal of Arcipelago is to create opportunities to actively participate in cultural activities of th city, to create spaces to express ourselves and to make culture accesible to all.
Between book presentations and readings, art and photography exhibitions, hip-hop dance contests and freestyle, kung fu stage and so on and so forth, our goal is mainly reached with music. For this reason we decided to record any live that we host on our stage, from the young and inexperied band, to the more "sailed" ones. This, we believe, allows everyone to have more chance of viral promotion, everyone can listen and everyone can enjoy every type of music we do, regardless of the quality.
