Fond Of Rudy are such a brilliantly talented 4-piece band hailing from both Brighton and London. All 4 members, Matt, Ross, Martin, Otto and Si, cleverly reconstruct sounds from 80's music and really make it their own. The songs are bright, simplistic, uplifting and carry lot's of experimental elements too. I got to speak to Matt and fellow Ross in this interview and they were so fun to speak too! I think this will be such an interesting and most importantly exciting year for the band. Following on from 'Never Gonna Give You Up', I can't wait to see what they do next!

Having the opportunity to once again interview, sit down and chat with the lovely Rachael Sage has been such a highlight of my year so far, she truly is such an inspiration. I'm in love with her energy, her passion and love for music. Last year she released, 'The Other Side, which was such a great release, a very definitive moment in her career trajectory I feel - and a very positive one at that. As you know by now, I love the idea of reinvention, and this is exactly what she has done here with 'Another Side', an acoustic vision of last years release also on her own label M Press Records. This year she has some tour dates in July, and a tour with Hue and Cry in November of this year, following on from a tour with Lulu. What a great time to be a Rachael Sage fan.

Here is my interview with the lovely Allegra. I really mean that she was so lovely!! She was such a professional, but also just so passionate about her music. I love the fact that her music makes you want to get up and dance but this episode was just so fun to record. It was really short and sweet. I think her talent, her art, her look, her music all really speak for itself. Whilst she could be classed as a newcomer, I really don't think of her as one just because of the effort she puts into and the quality of her music. Her single remixed by Alok, dropped as lil' bit ago 'Love You Right Back' and it is such a great track!! This follows on from her track 'Round & Round' remixed by Tiësto. Such a slay for an artist so early in her career. But achieving so much. It is SO well deserved!
