Brainwashed

I love listening to music creators & genuinely listen & comment on tracks, because that is how I think I can grow as a musician, by listening. I myself am a singer-songwriter & former instrumentalist. I can sing bass-baritone (A2 to G4). 

I have nearly 50 original tracks waiting for me to vocalize, so I post a lot of demos. 👍 Like & repost if you enjoy what you hear & maybe I'll work on it next.

Never the Bridle in interview with Mark Watkins: tinyurl.com/5n7frwf6

'Lessons' was a November 2024 Fresh on the Net 'Fresh Fave' and has been played on Exile FM and North Manchester FM.

'Lessons', 'Say it now' and 'Over and out' have had Amazing Radio airplay and are airing on their USA indie genre stream.

You can now hear them along with the rest of the album: 'Eldest Daughter Energy'.

-----------

Solo singer-guitarist-bassist writing upbeat indie songs about anxiety and postpartum life. Keen to write for other artists.

I record the vocals, guitars and bass at home. Guest drums and production are by Martyn James.

The artist name is a reference to the scold's bridle, an archaic instrument of punishment primarily used on women.

Experimenting with electronic beats, samples, synths and some spoken word

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 Sonophoria is a Welsh Electronic Music Producer who in their short career has already been featured on SoundCloud’s Flagship Global Top 50 Electronic Music playlist “Buzzing Electronic” in April 2024. 

Also, since starting submitting to BBC Radio 6 DJ Tom Robinson's ‘Fresh on the Net’ in January 2024, they have been featured 15 times in Eclectic Picks, selected for the Listening Post 4 times and a featured Fresh Fave in September 2024. 

Think a blend of Avicii, Chemical Brothers & Prodigy (ie melodic electronic music fused with eclectic/alternative elements). Also House, Progressive, Trance & EDM Producer.
