Farah Audhali
A Yemeni singer-songwriter born and raised in London, Farah grew up surrounded by music. Her mum a singer/keyboardist, her dad a passionate music lover, sparking a love for singing and songwriting from an early age. Though performing has always been a source of anxiety, creating music in her own space has allowed her to connect with its healing power and honesty. Farah’s songs are a blend of soulful storytelling and experimentation, influenced by legends like D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, Lauryn Hill, and Jill Scott, while fearlessly exploring new styles and arrangements. Her music is both a form of escapism and a space for reflection, capturing moments of pain, joy, and everything in between.
Bethane
Meet Bethane - A rising soul artist from Liverpool who proudly calls herself a “Scouse girl who sings.”
With smooth, emotionally weighty vocals and deeply introspective songwriting, Bethane weaves timeless soul with a modern, understated sensitivity, drawing influence from the likes of Amy Winehouse and Cleo Sol.
Following a sold-out collaborative performance at the Philharmonic Music Room, Bethane continues to build quiet but powerful momentum. With her new single “Little Faith” landing this February, she is fast establishing herself as one of the UK’s most honest and compelling emerging voices. Bethane performs as part of Kindred x YES WE ARE!, a collaborative programme delivered with Ivors Academy Trust and LIMF Academy, supported by PPL, creating space, visibility and opportunity for female songwriters, composers, arrangers and producers across the UK.
Amethyst
A rising voice in the resurgence of UK soul and jazz, Amethyst moves with intention, carving her own lane and letting her music speak for itself. Classically trained on piano and violin, and self-taught across guitar, clarinet and drums, her sound is rooted in deep musicianship and emotional truth.
Inspired by the timeless voices of Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Donny Hathaway and Gregory Porter, alongside modern icons like Lianne La Havas, Yebba and Cleo Sol, Amethyst blends old-school soul instrumentation with soothing jazz vocals and lyrics that linger long after the last note.
With growing support from BBC Radio 1, 1XTRA and Radio 2, and features across platforms including COLORS, Jazz FM, Crack and Dummy, Amethyst is not chasing the moment. She is shaping what comes next.
Obi Franky
West London–born singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Obi Franky creates soulful, story-led music that moves with quiet power and emotional depth. Shaped by her Jamaican and Ghanaian heritage, her sound flows across soul, R&B, indie and electronic worlds. Music that feels intimate, expansive and deeply felt.
A sought-after collaborator, Obi has shared creative space with artists including Maverick Sabre, Honey Dijon, HAAi and Ben Westbeech. As she prepares to unveil a deeply personal, self-penned body of work, Obi brings a sense of openness, curiosity and connection to Kindred.
Deliah
A Liverpool-born artist and producer, now based between London and North Wales. Shaped by an industrial-town upbringing, her sound sits between ’00s alt-rock and cinematic indie nostalgia.
Writing from the female experience, Deliah stepped back from the spotlight to build her own London-based studio, working closely with emerging artists who have since received BBC Radio 1 support. She is now developing her next studio in rural Wales, continuing to create independent spaces while returning to her own work as an artist.
Her songs are narrative-led, emotionally honest, and shaped by resilience. On stage, Deliah’s performances are intimate, unfiltered and deeply compelling. Grounded in storytelling and delivered with quiet intention.
