Erl Halstad
Erl started his musical journey from a very young age when his parents got him a piano.
In the beginning he did not enjoy it the rigorous nature of it but, as time progressed he came to realise that he actually had a strong passion for the art form of music.
Additionally, in his adolescence and teenage years, he decided to pick up the guitar as the idea of being multi instrumentalist was appealing to him.
Today he focuses on being the best musician he can be by focusing a lot of his time and energy into music.

Bart Spadlinski
Bart is a singer-songwriter native to Gdansk, North Poland. He developed a love for English-sung music in his childhood. His high school performance of Red Hot Chilli Peppers’ ‘Under the bridge’ made him fully commit to pursuing his dream of being an artist.
In 2015, Bart landed an orchestral performance of ‘My Way’ for the 70th anniversary of a local newspaper in Pomerania, Poland. He then formed a band ‘Youseurgift’ and headlined a student festival Technikalia in 2016 but soon after they parted ways.
In 2017 Bart moved to London, Uk, where he recorded his first original EP 'Pay for your music'. He performed solo around the London scene and collaborated with other artists on a regular basis.
Bart is a classic pop singer-songwriter with the background in rock, alternative, and soul. He blends raw energy and true passion with nostalgia and exotic melodies.
‘Bart is a powerhouse of a vocalist reminiscent of Dave Gahan or Michael Hutchins. An incredible showman with a vocal range to match his versatility and charisma are astounding and on stage he always entertains’ - Michael Scott, Ritz Music Studio Richmond
‘I am confident that you won’t see a better performer on the unsigned circuit than Bart. He’s a handsome boy with a great voice, but more importantly than that he is a born showman. An enigmatic, charismatic leader who will draw you in and make you his new best friend with ease. - Samuel McCready
​
Bart adores performing for you and cherishes every single moment, whether on stage or in your ears. He promises to make it count for you, so if you give him a chance, he will give you the very best he’s got!
