Bella McKendree

Growing up with four siblings in the heart of the British countryside, song-writing has always been an escape for Bella McKendree, helping develop her own identity. Her mother would sing classical music and listen to Simon & Garfunkel and The Fugees whilst her dad would play the blues and gospel pop at church. When her dad created a recording studio in the garden, she would escape there to sing. 

Her spellbinding vocal and willingness to stand up for what she believes in proves that there is much more than meets the eye when it comes to Bella McKendree.

Sonia Stein

Sonia Stein creates the sort of songs that are full of drama and emotional complexities, songs that work their way into your subconscious and never let go. 

Despite a fairly restless upbringing of traversing across continents (Berlin, Poland, and America to name but a few), the music Sonia Stein creates is beautifully anchored. Quietly determined, she creates the sort of songs that are full of drama and emotional complexities, describing ‘One Of Those Things’ as being about, “The stage of denial at the end of a relationship with someone or something. You hold onto it out of comfort and fear, hoping if you wait a little longer, some semblance of what you had in the first place will show up again.

One Of Those Things, Sonia Stein’s debut single with Marathon Artists is available now.

Monty Taft

Monty Taft is a gifted seventeen-year-old singer-songwriter whose music addresses the trials and tribulations of a young person’s ascent into adulthood.

In a matter of months, he has transcended from a regular favourite on Jersey's live music circuit to having his self-penned songs played across the nation.

Imagine a teenage Ben Howard crossed with Damien Rice and George Ezra, then you may get a picture of what to expect from Monty Taft’s fresh take on acoustic folk-pop. His bright and uplifting tunes are born out of the ups and downs of being a teenager torn between two worlds. From hometown hero to a new life in Birmingham, Taft is a voice for a generation of teenagers who are learning the challenges of moving away and chasing their wildest ambitions.  

Not long after his move to the city, Huw Stephens discovered Monty’s talents and gave his first official single, ‘These Walls’, a spin on Radio 1. The support from national media kick-started a chain of events which culminated in him supporting Seafret and being announced for no less than two coveted slots on the Acoustic Stage at Glastonbury Festival this June.
