Self Taught

Confirmed on the open mic list so far we have a female vocalist Charli Hall, Charli's vocal sound falls into the RnB or Soul genres of music. And an artist called KO. KO is a rapper, and his main musical influences are Hip Hop, Grime and RnB. He's a versetile artist and may eventually try his hand at writing and reciting poetry. Our confirmed poet on the list is a girl called called Priscilla Sim. She'll be reading from her lastest book release 'Paper Perfect'. 'Paper Perfect' is a collection of poetry, which takes us through an exploration of these moments; essentially considering the conflicts we experience between our romantic ideals and the realities of what love actually is...not always perfect, not always as we imagined and sometimes too painfully real. My favourite piece from the book is called "Quite Simply"
