๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ข ๐๐ฎ๐ข๐ณ - Imani Ruiz is a Neo-Soul vocalist whose sound is best described as soulful, smooth, and intimately mellow. Drawing influence from foundational artists like Jill Scott, Erykah Badu, Etta James, and contemporary talent like Sasha Keable, Imani delivers music that feels both warm and deeply introspective.
Hailing from Buckinghamshire with strong Caribbean roots, Imaniโs musical identity is a rich tapestry woven from diverse genres. Growing up, she was immersed in the powerful rhythms of Reggae, Soca, Calypso, and Jungle, alongside the classic textures of Soul, Jazz, and Funk. This eclectic upbringing compels her to create music that attempts to mix and honour all these sounds.
In her writing, Imani is melody-driven, often working with collaborators to explore themes of self-love, complex relationships, identity, ambition, and navigating the future. Her vision remains wonderfully grounded: she isn't seeking viral fame or thousands of followers, but simply wishes to create music that makes listeners feel somethingโthe same profound, individual connection she gets from her own favourite artists. She sees success in the few who truly connect with her work, taking "small steps at a timeโ.

๐ ๐๐ซ๐ข - Born in Zimbabwe and based in Brighton, FARI blends Neo-Soul, R&B, and live looping to create a mesmerising fusion of sound.
Her lyrics explore themes of jealousy, anger, and religion, drawing influence from Kimbra, Bobby McFerrin, and Jacob Collier.
FARIโs performance at The Great Escape Festival cemented her as a rising Neo-Soul artist to watch.
