KAZE - aka Japanese speaking opera graduate Amy Webber - is one of Manchester's exciting new prog-pop artists. Webber trained as an opera singer for 6 years before rebelling to follow her pop calling. She brings theatrical performance and soaring vocals to KAZE's definitive and genre bending music. KAZE have been hailed as “fresh-sounding, future-facing” by BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson and praised by BBC Radio Scotland’s Vic Galloway for their “syncopated prog-pop”. 
Despite being a brand new act, KAZE have already secured airplay on BBC 6 Music, BBC Radio Scotland (Single of the Week), BBC Radio Manchester, BBC Radio Oxford and Amazing Radio. The self-directed one-take music video for 'Pinned On You', their debut single, made ‘Video of the Month’ on OurStage and consequently KAZE were selected as ‘Artist of the week’ for Richer Unsigned. KAZE are currently preparing their debut album, set for release in 2020.

“A vibrant, edgy, unusual kind of sound”” - Tom Robinson (BBC 6 Music)

"KAZE are powerful live performers who draw heavily on a theatrical sensitivity. Backed up with a steady release of well recorded, intelligent, high energy songs, they create a unique live experience."- Gavin Sharp (CEO Band On The Wall)

"That's really quite something isn't it? Operatic, off-kilter, syncopated prog-pop" - Vic Galloway BBC Radio Scotland

"That is pretty darn tasty" - Jim Gellatly (XFM, Amazing Radio)

"Superb alternative-pop song... full of surprises" - Rob Lewis (CEO Richer Unsigned) 

"Fingerprints of Steely Dan & Fleetwood Mac" - Colin Towns (Ian Gillan Band)

milkd are a two-piece band based in London. They apply a wide range of influences to their songwriting, from The Beach Boys all the way over to Radiohead. They love exploring how with just the two of them they can create an interesting sound, playing around with guitars, keyboards, close vocal lines and different percussive ideas.

'Emerging Indie Bands' described them as a band whom "deliver music which invites the listener to lay back on a soft blanket and allow the music to wind away the stresses of the day as the reverberating echo of guitar, softly brushed vocal and warming keys cosset the ears."

Official SoundCloud of Singer & Composer Mike Christie.
Mike Christie wrote the plot, libretto and music of The Miller's Wife: Inspired by a discovery he made when researching his family tree, The Miller's Wife is set in the beautiful surroundings of north-east Essex and is an enticing new opera that weaves its way through every human emotion. Sung in English, it is a traditional opera with memorable melodies and potent arias enhanced by warm romantic orchestration that has echoes of Puccini with a modern twist. You can listen to some of the arias here on SoundCloud.
