Singer-Songwriter from Southampton UK also the lead singer, frontman, of Maverick a UK based rock band

The Bayonettes are an English indie rock band from a small village in rural Hampshire. Playing a brand of indie likened to the sounds of the early 90's they have crafted a number of catchy, melodic anthems built for singalongs and good times.

Since forming in 2013 they have toured extensively, playing at venues and festivals across the UK. Recent highlights have included supporting bands such as The Amazons and a slot at Victorious Festival alongside major influences such as Stereophonics.

Their latest singles have all gained plenty of airtime on UK and International radio, including a number of plays on BBC Introducing and a BBC introducing live session. Their single ‘Generation’ was also used on ITV1’s 'This Morning' during their fashion segment. 2018 sees the band continue on their adventure with new material to be released and live dates to be announced.

A sound flushed with Brazilian influence and creative flair, Phill de Janeiro has defined a truly unique frequency.

Predominantly sitting within the House and Disco soundscape, Phill de Janeiro breaks out of the ever-conforming ‘perception box’ and creates a contrast with what we know the genres to be. Subtle elements of Chicago and New York house merge seamlessly with 80’s disco and jazz intricacies.

Phill de Janeiro weaves his story through non-conforming sonics and question/answer patterns, creating a heartbeat packed full of groove. This soulful underbelly has given the rising star a strong brand identity and clear respect within the industry and genre in which he plays. 

Phill de Janeiro is known for his conductorship and dynamite track selection. Each live set is curated expertly as he crafts and tailors each performance with an unteachable flair, utilising all genre styles in his remit. This, in turn, creates an eclectic vibe on the dance floor.

Since moving to the UK capital from his Brazil homeland, Phill de Janeiro has formed quite the musical CV. Notable performances at the likes of underground hotbed E1, Brixton Jamm and Soho haunt, Orange Yard has seen him share the stage with high-profile artists such as Skream, Melvo Baptiste, Route 94, Dusky and Dennis Quin.

Firmly on the production trail and with high-profile bookings flooding in at world-renowned venues, 2022 and beyond looks to be one of rising credibility for both his Modern Funktion movement and himself, as a breakout artist.
