Supporting underrepresented gender performers in the music industry 

Inspired to sing at an early age, Dan started playing guitar at the age of 17. With no education in music and just one guitar lesson in major scales, Dan found inspiration through artists when he was growing up like Bob Dylan and Guns N Roses. 

Originally playing electric guitar, Dan started playing acoustic after friends suggested it would better suit the smaller more intimate venues he has been playing across the southwest. Dan has written a number of tracks , but still uses his electric guitar to create riffs because of his love of classic guitar heroes like Slash and Izzy Stradlin. 

Described as a hybrid of blues and old school rock n roll, Dan has also fused influences of 90s alternative rock and punk. 

Released in summer 2015, Dan's debut EP 'Urban Stories' is a colection of real life tales from the streets and Dan's personal feelings on everyday life, which he hopes everyone can relate to. After being picked up by a label, Dan is now preparing to release his second offering in early 2016.

Influences:
Green Day, Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Guns N Roses, Elvis Presley, Bob Marley, The Beatles, Bob Dylan

Devonshire based singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Matthew Gordon Price (MGP) is known for his honest and heartfelt performances. He provides a raw emotional narrative and warming acoustic melodies drawing comparisons to Damien Rice, Marcus Mumford and Glen Hansard. 

“Both my parents inspired my love for music from a young age…listening to artists such as, The Beatles, The Kinks, Queen and Marc Bolan. At 11 my parents brought me my first guitar, which certainly changed my life…”

Born in 1992 and writing since he was 15, MGP has developed his musical abilities, which allowed him to collaborate with other South West musicians, including: Chris Linton (Lead Guitar); Jamie Yost (Bass); Drakes Island (Drums); The Busketeers (Cajon/Guitar/Vocals); Lanky And The Beard (Producer/Songwriter/Guitarist).

Since graduating from Plymouth University in 2014 (Business Studies), MGP has put his degree to use by helping to manage up & coming southwest performers, from solo acts to bands. In 2018 he co-founded a management company called MPM Management where he helps book gigs/festivals, give advice and promotes independent music.

Over the years MGP has performed on established stages as a headliner, support act and session musician, including:
