Grant Nelson (born April 27, 1971, in England) is a DJ, producer and remix artist. Grant is heralded as one of the godfathers of UK Garage due to his numerous club hits on his Nice 'n' Ripe record label in the early 90's. It was his sound along with a few others that gave birth to the then known as 'Sunday Scene' which went on to become UK garage. He also produced under the name Wishdokta from 1990-1993 when he was making Hardcore / Drum 'n' Bass for the legendary London label Kickin Records.

For a 20 year old about to release her first album, Emma Deigman has some impressive admirers. Bryan Adams recently turned up to one of her gigs, Gary Barlow has declared himself a huge fan and, on hearing a handful of her songs, Rod Stewart immediately offered to help her break the States. Listen to Deigman's debut album, and you can understand the fuss. Sumptuous soul vocals hark back to the '70s on funky, feel-good songs with and lashings of live brass and strings.
