I like to blur the lines between fiction & reality. While I write about personal experiences in some songs, I also draw inspiration from video games, anime, movies, comics, etc. Taking fictional characters, settings & scenarios and mixing them with real life experiences.

Kama Vardi’s entirely captivating songwriting shines with immense brightness. Every line offers something uniquely expressive & thought provoking. Not a moment is wasted.
An incredible song. The subject matter is not something many people will have directly experienced, but the way it’s been presented manages to find you & really connect.
I love the feeling music can bring to an audience no matter who you are or where you’re from. It’s a universal language where you can share emotions, feelings & passions & hopefully affect who is listening.
A quick plea to music lovers: The future of independent music is dependent on you. You are the reason that an artist will become “the next big thing”, so don’t be shy. If you like an artist’s music – tell people, share it.
Bobbie Harvey is a UK based singer & songwriter currently pushing the craft to the limits with a small collection of finely written, brilliantly performed releases.
This sort of composition and performance makes for the perfect pop-breakthrough track, relevant & well built, authentically performed, indicative of an eclectic artist on both sides.

Statements about life & growing older have the potential to connect with all of us. It’s a universal topic, but it’s not commonly talked about in popular music. Matt Purcell has approached this in a beautiful way.
This meeting of pop & trip-hop works gorgeously, the softly manic intro captures your attention, the spacious & reflective verses holds tight to it, then the hook explodes into life in a hugely compelling, mesmerising way.
There’s a lot of talk of the mind & the separation of the self & the world. This is likely to connect with a number of audiences. The unique nature of the music & the characterful sound of the leading voice help seal the deal.
