Blaise Bellville
Sometimes, the best things are created from circumstance. In the case of Blaise Bellville’s burgeoning career, two events led him to the One To Watch spot he currently finds himself in. “I’d just left school and desperately needed to earn a living, and somehow I ended up promoting,” says the 22 year-old of his clubbing profession. “I started by putting on really awful commercial nights, literally just to make some money. I did that for about a year and quickly got bored.

Cornelia
Cornelia: 'Oxygen is my friend.
Without her, you could say I just wouldn't be.
My song... our song, that you hear - it’s a relationship. Our conversation.
The air and my chest meeting at some half way point in my throat. So, this is what I do. I write songs, and in turn they rewrite me.
I sing them.
I sometimes play them... or just play with them. The song needs to be played with; it has its own character and feel. Like plants, rabbits... they all need that arching fresh air to function. Sound sweet sound, whether I'm up or down.

Thelma Houston
Thelma Houston is a soul singer and has released records on Capitol and ABC/Dunhill. It was a chance meeting in the early 1970's with Motown Records which lead to a deal on the Motown subsidiary Mo-West Records. Like her past work, critics loved it but lack of promotion held her back from becoming a huge star, even though people were comparing her as the next Aretha Franklin. Constant touring and background vocal work kept the money coming in, but she remained strong.

Cassian
It’s been a year since Cassian’s last EP. And where has the kid with that haircut been? He’s been in the busy, that’s where he’s been. The lead single ‘I Like What You’re Doing’ has already been premiered on BBC Radio 1 by Jaymo & Andy George as part of their “Picks of 2011” show. It takes on the form of a powerhouse party psalm. Charged by an ever-familiar bassline and anthemic vocal performed by a shadowy, old-school Australian music identity. It’s turned into an 80’s fire-funk workout by Lorenz Rhode on his ‘Dangerous Mix’ and a filtered robo-haus jammer in his ‘Rhythm composer mix’.
