Adrian grew up in North London listening to his family's records: an eclectic mix of music from reggae to rock, country to soul. While these have shaped his style as a singer and songwriter, somehow he has achieved a voice that is uniquely his own. His personal musical journey started out as a solitary venture, but fellow musicians have been recruited along the way. Whilst recording his first album, "Welcome to One Man Town," he began playing regularly with songwriter Beth Dariti as a duo for several years in venues such as Camden's Green Note and The Troubadour in Earls Court.

Katy is a vocalist and accompanies herself mainly by playing a 1960s wurlitzer electronic piano or real piano.

Not only does he write and record his own stellar pop tunes under his own name, he also plays in the group Gellers, rocking the guitar, backup vocals, and other goodness. Shugo is just like the person you hear on his record: At first he doesn't appear to stand out from the crowd, but quickly the uniqueness and creativity seep from the edges to form some sort of super music-making field around him.
