Artist Bios:

Alice Hills

Berlin-born artist Alice Hills has been captivating audiences worldwide since she was 16, laying the groundwork for Berlin’s vibrant busking scene. With 16 years of experience as a full-time musician and headliner, she continues to refine her craft through street performing—strengthening her humility, connection with audiences, and crowd engagement skills that make her live shows truly exceptional.

Her music blends catchy pop, rock, and folk, enriched by soulful and jazz influences. Alice's unique voice allows her to deliver deeply moving and authentic renditions of any song she takes on, creating captivating experiences that resonate deeply with audiences.

Nick Howe

is a London-born singer-songwriter and loop artist whose music explores the tension between chaos and connection, turning heartbreak and human conflict into cinematic, soul-stirring songs.

He has performed in over 15 countries, from Glastonbury to SXSW, and earned international recognition through major syncs (Cadbury, Angry Birds) and an Honourable Mention at the International Songwriting Competition. Nick has collaborated with acclaimed writers including Iain Archer, Matty Benbrook, and Billy Lockett.

Known for his high-energy live shows, Nick creates powerful, immersive performances using loop station and guitar — sometimes joined by beatboxer and violinist — transforming stages and streets into moments of connection.

His latest releases, Revelation and Blood, dive into themes of fear, freedom, love, and obsession, blending raw emotion with cinematic pop-rock.

Steven Eli

Inspired by moments, places, and fleeting emotions, Steven Eli writes instinctively, capturing songs as they arrive. Whether on a plane, a train, or in the quiet hours of the night, he follows feeling rather than intention. “I never sit down to write about something specific. I feel the moment and the song becomes of that emotion.”

Driven by curiosity, Eli finds stories everywhere — from empty coffee cups to broken hearts — allowing everyday details to shape his songwriting.

His moody, lush indie-pop sound was written and recorded between the Swiss countryside, Ireland, and an instrument-filled studio on the outskirts of Berlin. Through his project Sunway Street, he has worked across Europe and the US, bringing those experiences into his writing and production.

Working with collaborators Leor Manelis, Marena Witcher, and producer Rainer Oleak, Eli’s songs blend melody and atmosphere into an organic, spacious world rich with electric and acoustic textures.
