Rufus and P met 7 years ago in Munich, Germany at a gig they had been separately booked to perform at- Rufus as singer and P as rapper. A cosmic nudge resulted in the two artists doing an impromptu performance together that made the crowd go wild (cliché but true). Right from their first meeting it was clear that they had a creative synergy that needed to be explored. Years later, and with a strong friendship, Rufus and P have written and produced countless songs together with the same aim which is to spread as many good vibes as possible through their music. 
From a young age, Rufus has been performing to large audiences beginning his career with the Walt Disney World Company in a show called the Festival of the Lion King. In 2000 he moved to Hollywood, Florida where he worked with Mark Groff, the famous vocal coach who worked with NSYNC and Backstreet Boys. Always hard working, Rufus landed a hit with the song "Fly Away" a side project he did with JCA aka Jean Claude Ades. This track was number one in several countries including China, Indonesia, Australia, and Brazil.
P is a rapper, singer, writer, producer and MC. A keen collaborator, who has consistently worked as a vocals artists, also for other producers or as songwriter for other artists. P is a dynamic live performer regularly booked as MC at clubs. Well known in the Hip Hop & R'n'B scene and especially in the Dance scene where he had different releases as artist and songwriter (e.g. on Kontor Compilations).
Rufus and P together have written and produced songs in Pop, Hip Hop, R'n'B, House and even Dubstep, but also combined all of those genres and created their own style: "R'n'P". Their charm, infectious energy and incredible talent make a tasty recipe. This duo is a celebration of positivity. Their music radiates light.

We're not the best, but we're pretty good.

My new album 'Pillars' is out now! I can't wait for you to hear it. 

Multi-award winner Jack Garratt makes his very welcomed return with the announcement of third album ‘Pillars’. Marking his first full-length project in five years, ‘Pillars’ is vibrant, emotionally-charged and a celebration of love, community, and self-discovery.

The album’s journey begins with explosive first single ‘Catherine Wheel’. More than just a comeback single - the track is a statement of intent for Pillars and emerged from a period of self-doubt and creative rebirth. “I was fully ready to quit music,” Garratt admits. “But Catherine Wheel became my true north - it reignited my love for creating and set the tone for the entire album.”

Since winning the Brits’ Critics’ Choice Award and the BBC Sound Of poll in 2016, Jack Garratt has released two critically acclaimed, Top 10 albums, Phase (2016) and Love, Death & Dancing (2020). Known for electrifying live performances and a genre-defying sound, Jack continues to push boundaries with his deeply personal and sonically adventurous music, with ‘Pillars’ being no exception.

‘Want You To Know’ out now!
