Layers of expansive minimalism and carefully crafted thematic progressions are what create the unique yet familiar sound of Elia Tomé. Blending the organic with the electronic, the Greek-Lebanese songwriter and producer seeks nostalgic reverie in future soundscapes.

With the official support of Help Musicians UK , Elia Tomé released his new project "Beginning Again" which captures the complex emotions tied to letting go of the past and stepping into something new. The nostalgic electronica is a heartfelt exploration of the delicate balance between holding on and moving forward.

Athens born Elia Tomé is an independent songwriter and producer currently based in Leeds, UK. Elia has marked his sound with his debut EP “Taïta”, an eclectic fusion of alternative and RnB driven soundscapes with flavours of electronica and rock. 'I can see a lot of the West Yorkshire scene falling in love with this artist' - Emily Pilbeam @BBC Introducing. Elia’s music is intricately constructed blending a broad array of influences such as Radiohead, James Blake, Bon Iver and Floating Points - all incorporating hints of his roots.

Elia Tomé is now working on a new project which will encapsulate his wider creative universe.

Newcomers Aunty Freeda are a Leeds based six-piece, using their training at Leeds Conservatoire to fuse art-pop, Georgian folk, jazz and classical influences into a unique and otherworldly amalgamation. Inspired by Kate Bush, Black Country New Road, Fiona Apple, and the theatricality of live performances from the 70s/80s, they are quickly becoming one of the most intriguing projects to emerge from the Leeds music scene in the past 12 months. Anna Alfreda Gudushauri Emmerson, half-Georgian singer-songwriter, directs the music, using her experiences as a queer woman to write deeply personal yet immediately relatable songs. Aunty Freeda is almost certainly a name you will be hearing more of in the future.
