Ruthven - aka Sean Nelson - has always had a certain fervour associated with him. The South London musician first broke in 2017 as an early signee to Paul Institute, the label founded by A.K and Jai Paul. He was a member of The London Fire Brigade at the time, recording tracks at the fire station stealing nuggets of time in-between call outs.

Having gently unraveled his unique blend of R&B-influenced future-funk with careful consideration, Ruthven caught the attention of critics ("creates Prince-like jams with the contours and sleekness of sports cars" - The FADER) and found himself touring with Sampha. His recent work with Sampha and Little Simz on "Satellite Business 2.0" sits alongside his collaboration with Overmono on "Gem Lingo (ovr now)".
