Compared to the likes of Jeff Buckley, Bonnie "Prince" Billy, and Elliott Smith, classically trained violinist Alan Corbel is at the forefront of the contemporary French folk scene. Born in Brittany, Corbel moved to England at the age of 18 to master the instrument, and after various dead-end jobs, teamed up with cellist Soazig Le Lay to form Megalux in 2006. The duo went on to appear at the Jeunes Charrues, a well-known springboard for young artists, and became regular performers at Le Zebre de Belleville, Le Bataclan, and La Boule Noir before Le Lay's untimely death in 2008. Corbel released his Edith Fambuena-produced self-titled EP a year later before concentrating his efforts on Fuckin' Hell Orkestar, a supergroup featuring members of Les Oisives and Carbel, while also finding the time to publish a book of poetry and appear on dub outfit Yosh's Fistful of Lies. In 2011, he resumed his solo career by teaming up with Bertrand Belin to record his first full-length album, Dead Man Chronicles. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi

Ellis the Menace is a songwriter, singer and bassist from London. Her playful, tongue-in-cheek lyrics often criticise aspects of modern life and express the trials and tribulations of life in her twenties. Ellis the Menace’s style has been described as electro-pop, electronica, R&B, and electro rock.
Kristen Taylor is an indie pop singer-songwriter based out of Belton, Texas. She is known for her emotionally charged storytelling and raw lyrical voice. Though she’s been singing her whole life, Kristen only began her music journey in 2023—picking up guitar and songwriting just two and a half years ago. Her rapid rise reflects a deep creative drive and a fearless approach to vulnerability. Influenced by artists like Olivia O’Brien, Billie Eilish, Jessie Reyez, Demi Lovato, and Zinadelphia, Kristen creates songs that sit at the intersection of dreamy sadness and bold self-awareness. Her performances—whether stripped down or full band—highlight her ability to connect deeply with listeners and turn personal moments into universal truths. With a growing catalog of singles and a debut album on the horizon, Kristen Taylor is carving out a space for those who feel deeply, love fearlessly, and aren’t afraid to fall apart on the way to figuring it out.
