About STARLING:
Starling was discovered by Henry Binns of Zero7 in a Soho bar she worked in, and from there ended up in sessions with Massive Attack. She sings about courage, darkness, and coming through every fire stronger than before. With several strings to her bow, Starling also has a podcast "Starlingsworld" discussing the process of creativity, and this has now been turned into a live event by Soho House.
She founded The Platform, a series of mentoring programmes born out of her passion to “be to others what I had needed”. The Platform helps creatives emotionally and strategically turn their dreams into reality.
Celebrity fans include Vivienne Westwood and Eminem, who had Starling’s ‘No Rest for the Wicked’ on hold for his last album. With millions of streams already under her belt and comparisons to Lorde and Bastille, Starling is set for pop stardom.
About ZIAH ZIAH:
It is alien, it is human, it is pure queer rage and JOY.
Exploring the ungraspable darkness and euphoria of the human experience, Ziah Ziah looks to connect through raw live energy and a pop sensibility that feels familiar yet unique.
Her world of drama that exists within each of us, searches for something beyond the surface. With throbbing bass from iconic 80's analogue synths, ethereal string arrangements, and a voice with harmonies that echo something of a futuristic past, they demand to take you on a journey. Be ready to be consumed. Ziah Ziah is one to watch in 2024.

Jemima’s formal training in Puppetry at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama (graduating in 2018) followed by a MA in Fine Art: Drawing at Camberwell (graduating in 2021) has enriched her drawing, allowing her to merge diaristic texts with the figurative or performative.
