Introducing Zekiel + his debut song 'Writing Away'.

Australian hip-hop artist Zekiel grew up as one of six siblings in Mackay, North Queensland, where he started writing music from a very young age - and now having attracted over 140,000 streams on his debut single ‘Writing Away’ since last month, people are clearly paying attention to the honesty in his words.

Having just released a music video for ‘Writing Away’, we’ve put together just a few reasons that you should be paying attention to this up-and-coming artist.

Ten Tonnes - 'G.I.V.E.' lyric video.

Ten Tonnes has shared an adorable lyric video for new single 'G.I.V.E.' which features a gang of dancing dogs and about which, he says: "We’ve also got this excellent lyric video for it featuring some very cute doggos. Take a look, learn the words and be sure to sing’em back next time you come see me play."

About about his new song: "Hello. SO I have some exciting news to share. I have a new tune out. It’s called G.I.V.E. and it’s my favourite tune I’ve written to date. I loved the recording process and I’m over the moon with it!"

Interview: Alexa Davies on 'Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again'.

There’s just one film everyone’s talking about this month, and it’s ‘Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again’. The sequel to 2008’s multiple-record-breaking Abba jukebox musical adaptation, it looks set to follow up, and possibly even exceed, the success of its predecessor and be the feel-good cinematic experience of 2018. With a script from rom-com legend Richard Curtis and ‘The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel’ writer Ol Parker (who also directs), it’s already outperformed expectations of critical success, racking up a score of 87% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Interview: Paige x Converse One Star.

Having already gained 50,000 streams for her new single ‘So Far’, New Zealander Paige is making everyone stop and listen. With plans to continue dropping new music throughout the year, and ambitions to grow her audience even more - the 20-year-old’s soulful voice is sure to do just that.

We spoke to Paige about her musical inspirations, being an independent artist in 2018, and more below…
