Luke Saunders is a jazz and soul vocalist, songwriter and pianist inspired by artists such as Gregory Porter, Jordan Rakei, Joni Mitchell, Jill Scott and Sting. In an effort to resonate with listeners, his honest and sincere songs attempt to display his often-occurring, self-reflection and contemplation of universal questions. Influenced by friends, family and everyday experiences, the overall essence of Luke's musical identity that he wishes to present is one of sensitivity.

Seeking to explore the tension between personal, intimate confessions and grand, cinematic revelations, Calgary-born but Leeds-based singer/songwriter Nico Paul displays hauntingley beautiful poeticism combined with both intricate instrumentation and rich vocal harmony to echo the likes of Leonard Cohen, Neil Young, Jeff Buckley, Feist, and Weyes Blood.
