Prose – known for his original blend of hip-hop and indie – released his breakthrough album Home Of The Brave (Virgin EMI) in 2016.
Hailing from Manchester, Prose has performed alongside artists including Professor Green, The Enemy and fellow Mancunian JP Cooper. One of his most notable collaborations came with four-time BRIT Award winner Emeli Sandé, who joined him on the track Head Sick after being introduced by London DJ and producer Naughty Boy. A long-term collaborator, Naughty Boy discovered Prose on YouTube and later signed him to his label. Head Sick was released through Virgin EMI as part of Prose’s acclaimed 2015 EP What If?, earning national radio support from Nick Grimshaw (BBC Radio 1) and John Kennedy (Radio X), who both featured Run With Faith as their track of the week.
Since then, Prose has carved his own path as an independent artist, releasing music directly to his fans and continuing to build a loyal following. His anthemic songwriting and cinematic sound have led to major commissions, including the bespoke theme track We’ll Make History for Oktagon MMA, which he performed live in front of 70,000 people in Frankfurt — the largest MMA event in history.
Prose has also created two exclusive tracks for the UFC, writing and producing entrance music for Paddy “The Baddy” Pimblett and Islam Makhachev, further cementing his reputation for crafting powerful, emotionally charged music that transcends genres.
Beyond the sporting world, Prose’s songs have gone viral across TikTok, introducing his music to a new global audience, and in 2025 he featured on Kyle Falconer (of The View)’s acclaimed solo album.
A true independent force, Prose continues to evolve — blending heartfelt lyricism, raw northern grit, and cinematic production to create music that connects deeply with listeners worldwide.

Offering a comprehensive analogue recording experience, Punch Studios uses vintage equipment and authentic recording techniques to provide a creative environment for artists to capture their sound to tape.

Chris Athorne, Lee Wilkins, Mark Willis and Nikk Butcher are This Boy Wonders. 
At the start of 2011 This Boy Wonders have been together for just over 2 years.

Front man Chris Athorne had been writing songs for 2 years when the opportunity came to take his music to the next level with a full band and he hasn't looked back.

Since then, the band has recorded three EPs and one fully produced album.
The first EP, released back in 2009 entitled ‘Chasing Rainbows’, was a very different sound from now, with a folk/ acoustic feel that runs through the record. However, crowd pleasers such as ‘Chasing Rainbows’ and ‘Home’, are still played in their live sets as it was these songs that gained the band support from BBC introducing back in 2009. 

The second EP ‘Frame by Frame’ was released in 2010 and moved the sound of TBW forward. With heavier guitar riff driven songs such as  ‘As I Go Now’ and an more epic feel with the track ‘Phoenix’. 

‘Midnight Writer’ is the third EP in the TBW collection and was released in 2011. This demo presents the band in a new light and carries a heavy blues and rock influenced sound that represents a new maturity with the song writing. Midnight Writer took only 2 days from start to finish and was recorded ‘Live’.

The bands first album self titled ‘This Boy Wonders’ demonstrates how the band have truly discovered the sound that they want to represent. The record echoes sounds from the past with similarities being made to early ‘Rolling Stones’ but still managing to add that ever so important contemporary feel to the overall sound. With huge blues riffs and tracks that feel good in the sun it’s an album for all occasions. It is set to be released in December 2011. 

The bands appearances haven’t been half bad either. Over the course of 3 years they have been heavily supported by BBC introducing and in August 2011 they made their debut performance on the BBC introducing stages at Reading and Leeds Festival. On top of that they secured performances at The O2 Academies and played at the prestigious Cavern Club in Liverpool.
