Kayes Mensah, is a 22 year old music producer and songwriter from North London. The young musician began his journey at age 14, under the name Marsta Menzz, writing and performing lyrics over UK Grime instrumentals and teaching himself to produce and engineer.

After a few years of honing his craft as an MC, in 2016 he decided to drop his previous moniker and become Kayes (which comes from KS - the initials of his first and middle name), making the decision to alter his approach and sound within music. He took a year out to polish his skills as a producer, experimenting with different genres. He's back for 2018 focusing on a range of genres including hip-hop, soul and spoken-word.

CR Fredro https://www.instagram.com/crfredro1/
Citing influences ranging from Wretch 32, Sade and Fela Kuti; it is no surprise that CR Fredro’s musical artistry thrives on his natural and often-times effortless lyricism, unique vocal tones (resonance) and challenging productions to invoke a certain feeling and emotion from the listener. His journey as an artist has taken him from the ‘Overdue’ mixtape up until 2017, where CR Fredro brought us the ‘El Fredro EP’ which quickly gained traction and saw a sold out headline show to mark its release. Having already been featured on the RAP UK playlist for his latest track ‘Window’ alongside Vxmp, and a very exciting catalogue of unreleased music; 2018 will prove to be the year CR Fredro announces himself to the discerning ear.
