Deep Breath is a band from South Africa. Their arrangements are unique stylistically, borrowing from Jazz, Kwaito, and Gospel and Dance music. Theirs is a journey, a fresh –brave foretaste into the future of African music. This trio has been composing and performing together since enrolling to study Jazz Music at the University of KwaZulu-Natal in 2007. “Our intention is to inspire and uplift” explains Deep Breath, adding that they have “incorporated an African voice with a grooving and percussive piano.”   

DJ. Music lover. Disco Squirrel. Not necessarily in that order. Not in any order in fact. Lets not get bogged down in silliness. Lets get up and do a boogie.

"Sam Merrick is a British singer of ever growing repute. Having had the privilege of sharing the stage & performing with some of the top names in Jazz, he now performs across the the UK, pleasing audiences far and wide with the likes of The Nick Ross Orchestra, Ronnie Scott's Jazz Orchestra & other projects on the London & UK Circuits."  

Autumn 2020 saw Sam featured on a number of tracks on The Nick Ross Orchestra's anticipated brand new album, 'Sounds of the Glenn Miller Era', of whom he has been touring with for over 6 years. Recorded at the world-famous, Abbey Road Studios in London back in March 2020 and released on Montpellier Records, it includes a whopping 17 tracks all paying homage to that magical era of music.

"...to complete the vocal array, on came the slight figure of Sam Merrick... (and) again, excelled, taking ‘I’ve Got You Under My Skin’ and sundry other favourites for an altogether pleasing ride."

Polish born/London based singer-songwriter dedicated to creating music with purpose. 
LEA moved to London from Poland aged 19 to study jazz voice at Guildhall School of Music and Drama. That's where she began to write her first songs as a form of self-therapy. KAY's voice is often compared to Minnie Riperton's and Alicia Keys', but her greatest inspiration is Whitney Houston. 

2020 was a pivotal year in LEA's career, it was during the 1st lockdown that she wrote, recorded and produced her 6 track debut EP - The Abundance Project, which is set to launch in April 2021. She created it in a collaboration with her life and work partner Pilo Adami, producer and multi instrumentalist who is also part of neo-soul,jazz sensation group Nubiyan Twist.
