‘iluvlive @ Qube Elephant’ is an end-of-year celebration programmed by iluvlive and put on at The Qube Elephant to recognise the many successes we have achieved throughout the year. We will be having performances by artists on our Artist Development Programme to give you an insight into the talent we support and platform!
DeeRiginal is an artist from Central London who makes FRESH AIR MUSIC. Music that is literally a "breath of fresh air". Music that "feels good to make and listen to", as Dee would put it.
His vocal approach to music is often described as a fusion of Grime and R&B, although at times, elements of spoken word can be heard in the delivery of his introspective lyrics. The beats behind his voice are often hybrids of two genres or more.
Drew, a 19-year-old from Epping, London, gained prominence on TikTok, amassing 200,000 followers with her covers. After graduating from ELAM and starring in a National Theatre play, she turned to music.
Her debut single "Sleeves," about growing up in adoption, went viral, gaining 80,000 Spotify streams. Inspired by Adele, Olivia Rodrigo, and Billie Eilish, Drew's ethereal indie-pop sound led to a sold-out headline show at Paper Dress Vintage.
STORRY is a sex-positive, queer, and feminist artist who fearlessly shapes culture through raw and honest art. Her music, which spans genres including R&B, Soul, and Pop, is deeply rooted in her life experiences.
She has collaborated with industry giants such as Stormzy, Burna Boy, Sly & Robbie, and Junia-T, establishing herself as an in-demand artist.
VALNTNA is a powerhouse vocalist, making waves with her take on 90’s R&B and Soul, creating her own distinct style. Using her music to create unity and healing, the artist oozes positivity and sends an important message about self-love. 2023 single, Glow Queen reached 63.1K on TikTok videos and reached 10M total views on TikTok in August 2023.
