A talent that took flight from the bedroom to the world, Joyce Cisse—known as Flowerovlove—is a London-born singer-songwriter from the class of 2005.

During the pandemic in 2020, she released her debut single at just 15, drawing attention with a flexible style that spans indie rock, dream pop, and neo-soul.

Jim Legxacy – father

Jim Legacy is a rapper/singer-songwriter from Southeast London who began releasing music in 2019.

While grounded in UK rap, his hallmark is a genre-fluid sound that freely traverses lo-fi, emo, alternative rock, R&B, and Afrobeats.

His 2023 mixtape Homeless N*gga Pop Music boosted his profile in the indie scene, and he signed with XL Recordings the following year.

His 2025 mixtape Black British Music reached No.

31 on the UK charts and has been highly praised as a work that engraves his identity as Black British.

He self-produces almost all of his tracks, stitching together diverse sounds with a sampling- and collage-driven approach informed by his design training at art school.

Even while confronting heavy themes such as family loss and his own experiences with homelessness, he elevates them into pop-leaning, experimental music—work that is especially worth hearing for those seeking new forms of expression.
