Hi Guys, my name is Sophie DeBattista, Born and raised on the beautiful Maltese Islands, and residing in London since 2012.
An interior designer by profession, I really enjoy creating, playing and listening to music. One of my favourite hobbies  in life is entertaining commuters on the London Underground as a busker. 
Actually me and my acoustic guitar go a long way, having had the privilege of playing across the UK live music circuit for the last 7 years.  
A couple of years ago I was also lucky to receive a scholarship from The Mayor of London from which  I studied music at The ICMP faculty. It was here where my passion for music took a strong surge forward. In time I graduated with a 1st class BA Hons Degree in songwriting. This is where ‘S.O.S’, the Musical Artist and my electro/pop sound  was created. 
My writing is often inspired from real life events involving friends, family and even myself. 
Hope you will enjoy listening to my music as much as I love making it!!
Feel free to share your thoughts with me!!
Much love 
Sophie x.o.x

Pauline Alexander is an emerging Scottish Singer from Glasgow.  Over the last 10 years she has worked as part of a two piece, performing stripped back acoustic sets offering a seamless mix of folk and easy listening complemented by interpretation of song and original material. Vocally Pauline is very easy on the ear and has been said to have echoes of Sandy Denny, Eva Cassidy or Karen Carpenter. 

Her debut album 'Thoughts For The Masses' was an Iain Anderson 'Album of the  week' on BBC Radio Scotland and has also been widely played on multiple radio stations including BBC Radio Wales, and BBC Radio Ulster. 2013 saw Pauline's 'Dear Sister' Music Video make its TV debut on The Phil Mack Country Show on Showcase TV.  Pauline and guitarist Edwin Gallacher were honoured to be nominated for the 'Isambard Folk Award' (Bristol Folk Festival 2014)

Pauline has previously performed  at 'Celtic Connection's and appeared on STV's Riverside Show as well as providing support for the triple platinum selling artist 'Rumer' on her only Scottish show. 

 2017-2018 Pauline continued to perform around the UK with seasoned guitarist Sandy Stanage offering an eclectic mix of music, including Folk, Contemporary and Blues. 

New material is currently being written and it is hoped that recording will take place early 2023

I also produce and present shows; The Magic Bus Saturday lunchtime 12.00-2.00pm, The World Folk Show every Saturday evening, 6.00-8.00pm and Pirate FM every other Thursday night 7.00-9.00pm GMT.

Minnie Birch is a folk pop artist from Hertfordshire UK. She was BBC Radio 1s introducing artist of the week, Buzzfeed's "one to watch" and received awards and critical acclaim in national press for her original compositions on life, love, loss and fairytale. 

She released a Sunday Times Top 100 record of the year with a unique album based on songs heard on the football terraces.  Minnie has toured extensively across the UK, Europe and across Nashville USA. 

An intriguing and unusual artist, Minnie was forced to take a career break when she was diagnosed with a rare cancer, a diagnosis which turned her world on its head and also effected the mobility in her right harm. Minnie struggled through extensive physio to get back to playing her piano and guitar. 

Her new songs are a testament to the hope and the love you can find in your darkest hours. She is looking forward to sharing them with you. Prepare to have your heart put in a soft spin, wrung out, hung out to dry and handed back to you ready to wear to the party again.
