are the sounds of singer/songwriter R. P. Warrington
Shutterspeed
offer 90’s inspired shoegaze and alternative rock, intertwined with elements of dream pop and ambient noise. With a contrast of loud distorted guitars and twinkly, arpeggiated guitars, driving bass lines and powerful, creative drums. Topped with airy, light vocals, lyrically political – real world subjects and frustrations that everyone faces. Their sound inspired by Lush, Ride and The Cure, they have found themselves winning over Bristol and Plymouth (Southwest) audiences.
'Cisco,
an independent R&B/Soul artist based in Northwest London. My music is rooted in real experiences — I write honestly about love, relationships, and personal growth.
I take inspiration from artists like John Legend, Leon Thomas, and Daniel Caesar. Their influence has shaped my sound, blending smooth vocals with soulful melodies and heartfelt lyrics.
Everything I create comes from a genuine place. Whether you’re listening through headphones or seeing me perform live, my goal is simple — to connect through honest, soulful music.
