East London chanteuse and songwriter Oscine has been involved in music her whole life, letting inspiration blow from all directions.
Growing up with the sounds of reggae, hi-life and soul divas at home, heavily influenced by the indie scene of her peers and a personal love for hip hop, Oscine combines this with an abstract blend of futuristic soul, blues and electronica to create her own signature style. 
Early songwriting and vocal training lessons came from a combination of touring and recording with electronic band Euphonic, and being part of ENO supported youth choir, The Works, led by Laka D. A passion for detailed harmonies continued through various choirs, including the OneTaste choir and London Contempory Voices, all the while working as guest vocalist for a number of dance and indie bands, numerous collaborations with MC PRofit, as well as collaborating with producers on her self penned songs. 

Some years performing and releasing music as Neech saw performances at local venues up and down the country as well as festivals and competitions. A strong connection was forged with her regular guitarist Oliver Thompson and they enjoyed co-writing songs for the project, but the changing band line ups eventually took it's toll.

A move to Paris resulted in a stint presenting and producing the Paris branch of online music show BalconyTV. This also led to time away from making her own music, as so much energy went onto promoting other artists. But Oscine continued to write lyrics. Thankfully Oscine was introduced to Congolese musician Borrina Mapaka and the pair set about making plans to collaborate. Oscine returned to London but the musical force was strong and ideas were floated across the Channel. This led to a return trip to Paris to record vocals and work on specific tracks with Borrina, which were then brought back to London to be mixed by Pyramid Studios' own Dave Pemberton. 

Having met Dave through recommendation by PRofit, Oscine has found a like minded musical soul. With all the pieces starting to fall into place more recording and live shows can only follow.
