MAR!K β I call myself The Spontaneous Musician because most of the music I make is done completely on a whim. I’m an East London-born, Caribbean raised producer, rapper, singer/songwriter, guitarist, and bass player who likes blending modern genres with elements of freestyle. I like soaking up the styles and techniques of other musicians and incorporating them into my work. Doesn’t matter if it’s Hip-Hop, Trap and Electronic Music, Afrobeat, Reggae, Soca, Dancehall, Progressive Rock, R&B, Jazz, Funk, Indie, Classical or Metal, as long as it has a sound I’ll try to learn from it. I keep my music true to who I am. In a world full of carbon copies, I chose to be a compilation. https://instagram.com/musicbymarik?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=
AMIR – Born in north London to a Punjabi father and a mother from the midlands, AMiR has always had a burning passion for music. Spending his formative years learning guitar, piano and drums, AMiR crafts all his own melodies and lyrics, delivering them with his trademark funky vocal style. Combining accessible pop appeal with issues such as the search for good in bad, or how to move on when stuck in love and life. His songwriting talents have led to opportunities to work with Grammy award-winning producers in the United States and Europe, including Peter and Daniel (Matoma, Galantis, DFA) and Patrick Patrikios (Little Mix). https://www.youtube.com/c/amirofficialUK
