Singer and songwriter Julia Biel is known for her enchanting performances, emotional songs and unique voice. The British newspaper "The Independent" has described her as "the best British singer in a long time".
Her warm and textured voice draws from that of gospel music, the joie de vivre of soul, the sadness of blues and the freedom of jazz, while poetic lyrics reveal a keen perspective on life and love against a magical backdrop of contemporary musical soundscapes.
Solo albums and MOBO and Urban Music Award nominations have brought the British artist worldwide recognition, while collaborations with artists such as Ben Watt, Stimming, Polar Bear and Soothsayers have given her success momentum through word of mouth.
Julia Biel has been compared to some of music's greats: from Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone and Billie Holiday to Björk, Radiohead, Amy Winehouse and Chet Baker.

The KAMA Kollektiv is the band around the young Finnish singer and trumpeter Kirsi-Marja "Kiki" Harju. The word KAMA is Finnish for "things" or "stuff," and it describes what the band's music is about: the little things in life that are often so easily overlooked.
Kiki tells stories - some in Finnish, some in English - about love and change, forests and animals, small everyday joys, and a mystical-romantic view of nature. The music is a captivating blend of jazz, Nordic folk and indie pop. The band is based in Amsterdam, but Kiki's songs are full of memories of the beautiful landscapes, dark forests and freezing frost of her native Finland.
In May 2020, the KAMA Kollektiv released its second album, KOTI, on Eclipse Music.
