London Born Oscar ‘SHOLTO’ Robertson’s music career began in 2013, when a record deal took him to LA, leading to him working with producers like Nick Waterhouse (Allah-Las) before returning to the UK and working with the likes of Inflo (Cleo Sol), and Dan Carey. He is also one half of the production / studio duo SFJ. Recording, Producing & Mixing for artists such as Miles Kane, Katy J Pearson, Wet Leg, Spiritualized, Tess Parks and many more. Sholto also garnered a name as a session drummer across genres working with acts such as Confidence Man, Nick Waterhouse, Yak, Sinead O’Brien, Geowulf & recently Baxter Dury. SHOLTO has recently supported Sven Wunder, Derya Yildrim, WITCH & Dina Ogon and recently performed a tribute to David Axelrod at Londons Jazz Cafe.
His writing style is inspired by soundtrack composers from the 1950s-1970s, and he sits alongside soulful widescreen soundtrack contemporaries like The Cinematic Orchestra, Robohands and The Ironsides. 2023’s ‘The Changing Tides Of Dreams’ introduced listeners to his world of psychedelic-infused, hazy arrangements, drawing on disciplines from the world of film & classical music, as well as jazz and experimental arrangement techniques. His music invites you into a warm array of colours, lush analogue gooeyness, instrumental grooves and a Euphoric.

Raised in the quiet of Suffolk, Freya Roy is an artist, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. From broken beat and electrifying nu-jazz, to warming street-soul, her signature sound has been crafted throughout her years spent in Norwich, Leeds, Birmingham and South London, collaborating with session musicians and independent artists across the board.
Hailed by Gilles Peterson claiming “Street- Soul is back”, her debut EP ‘For Who I Have Become’ gained traction from the likes of Jamz Supernova (performing a Selector Radio Session live from Premises Studios), British Vogue, Jamie Cullum and Don Letts. She has warmed up the stage for the likes of Jasmine Myra, Alabaster De Plume, and Noya Rao (fronted by Olive Jones), whilst selling out her own headline show at Dalston’s Servant Jazz Quarters.
Multi-faceted in her craft, Freya has been adding some valuable credit to her name, recently contributing additional production to a legendary collaboration between Sean Kuti, Talib Kweli and Vector, on tracks “Higher Consciousness” and “African Dreams - II”. She has collaborated with the likes of Edbl, Gabriel Gifford (Psychotic Reaction), Nia Wyn, Kindelan, and Mared, from collaborative production through to live session engineering and mixing. Known for her frequent collaborations with Maya Law, the two are set to release their first full-length collaborative project in May 2026, with her forthcoming solo project to follow which has been funded by the Help Musicians ‘Next Level’ Award.
